I am pairing it with my Iriver Clix and I can definitely tell the difference between these and the ones that came with the player. I have to be careful though because I can't hear anything else. When I was at the gym today I was like I can't hear anything else, not even my feet hitting the track.

Yeah, I've had similar experiences. I really like these headphones

i have these, and the bass is fine. You are probably not wearing them correctly. You need an airtight seal. It's awkward if you've never worn this type of headphone, kind of invasive actually. But the buds need to go pretty much as far into your ear canal as they can painlessly fit.

Also, they should have come with some yellow collered squishy foam earbud covers. Those are the best in terms of quality, and comfort, compared to the rubber ones that come with these earbuds. Try using those.

What you do is roll them back and forth between two fingers until the foam is compressed into as thin a cylinder as possible. Then quickly before they get a chance to expand, insert into your ear, and hold the position with your hand until the foam expands enough to be able to hold itself. Then you loop the wire around the top of your ear and have it come down the back of your ear, to the front of your neck. Then do the same with the other ear.

Thanks! I'll defenetly try that.

OMG!!! I put them all the way in like you said, man what a difference!! IT'S LIKE A SUBWOOFER IN MY HEAD!!!! The phone just rang right beside me too and I didn't hear it :shocked:! THANKS SOO MUCH THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!! AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHH!!!!!!!!!


*calms down*

Ok.


Yeah the bass is great, and I think I've just been used to the exessive bass on the fontopias. It looks like this is "The Way It's Meant To Be Played"

Glad I could help. These things should come with an instructional video. Or at the very least, a least a url for a video on the Shure website.

i've have a pair of Westone UM2's that i LOVE... Best $230 i've spent...

I use the foam "earplugs" too, since the SQ is the best IMO with those, however, careful pulling them out. I've had a few foam tips stay behind in my canal, forcing me to fish it out with a tweezer.
