Goodbye SHURE?

7 Feb

My headphones are dying and I’m rather upset about it.  The most annoying thing is it’s my third set of Shure‘s in the last 6 years…

ishuffle 2nd Gen and Shure SE115 pink headphones

I started with E2C‘s which unfortunately broke, and the ‘newer‘ replacement set they sent me was nowhere near as good, so I ‘upgraded’ to the SE115‘s.  These are now starting to die and quite frankly I can’t wait to replace them.  The ‘sound’ has gradually been reducing since day one, yet neither bud has blown.

Worst of all the ‘sound isolation‘ actually lets through noise and none of the three different buds types and sizes changes this.  Plus they hurt after a while and don’t even stay in!

Fed up now.

Need a new set of buds with thumping base and sound isolation.

Any recommendations?

Criteria: 

  • In ear 
  • Sound isolation
  • Max price: £100
  • Has an extension cable 

Anyone know anything about BOSE?
