I just got my combo one's in today. I ordered on Sunday and it came today. Just tried one song with them and they fit much better in my ear already and sound better. Now just need to charge the amp and see how well it works with that too. Tks gain folks!!

So based on what's been said in the thread so far I'm between the Shure's and the HeadDirect's.

Are there real differences between the two or is it just down to personal preference at this point?

Thanks guys

I cannot comment or offer any comparison on the HeadDirect's since I have never heard them Dustin. I do love my Shure's though.

Your post alone was enough to get 'em on my radar screen Kelly

Both are priced pretty equally (with minor exceptions) and all the reviews I'm reading are favorable. I was THIS close to buying just some random in ear headphones at the apple store before I read this thread, now I'm armed with some better info.

Thanks bro!

Im certain that whichever you choose, they will blow the doors off the original Apple ones. I know mine do.

You should also check out etymotics.

The ER-6 is a great earphone for the money

Shure makes some quality IEMs.

I only have the head directs, so I can't do a comparison.

In my experience shopping though, I would tend to think you pay a little more for a name like Shure.

Also, there is a pretty decent price different as the RE2s are fifty bucks with a great amp and the lower end Shures are in the 50-70 range without an amp.

Either one is a good buy though.

Good luck!
