anybody using SHE9500?
i wonder..whether my expectation of the level of noise isolation is too high for this earphones...
doesnt seem to block as much noises as i imagined it would do...
quite frustated..i dont want to turn my volume too high just to block outside noise...i want to listen to my songs at mid volume as i dont want to become permanently deaf.(says so by people suing apple for not warning the possibility of prolonged use of ipod could cause permanent damage to hearing).
so..do i have a very high expectation of this pair of earphones or its true?
supatza,it depends on how disappointed you are.
The SHE9500 generally does not block noise well compared to stuff like EX 71 or the Creative EP630 (which I assume is same as the Senn CX300,since the built is the same)
You must of course understand that canalphones can only block that much of noise.If you need much more,you're looking at getting urself a real pair of IEM's which are less comfortable,is more of a hassle to put in but isolate more.
But yes,in general the SHE9500 is known to isolate less than the above mentioned canals.
