Shure replaced my E3's for SE210's
Looks like the E3's have be discontinued, how do the SE210's compare to them, are they better, worse?
They are a lot bigger than the E3's.

Better/worse how?
Have you listened to them? What do you think? If they sound better to you, then don't you have your answer?

I always thought that the E3 has better build quality, while the 210 may have slightly wider response.
But to be honest, I don't really like plastic bodied phones, they never sound as nice to me as the metal ones - whether you're talking Sony EX90, Bang and O A8 or Denon 751.

I think they sound better.
However I have a different problem with them.
I have had my SE210s for a little under a year after SHURE replaced my E3cs under warranty.
I have noticed that the cord coming out of the earpiece has started to crack on both the left and right sides around where it curves around the top of the ear.
I contacted SHURE and they have said that the warranty of the SE210s is from when the E3cs were purchased not when I got my replacements! However they can sell me some more at £80!!
Well whilst they may feel this is a good deal, its not as I can get them cheaper on the net, my issues is if I buy another pair am I going to get the same issue again in under a year.
I am annoyed because I use them a lot as I commute 4 hours a day but I have always used the case to store them in.
I guess you could say because they were a warranty replacement I shouldn't complain as they were essentially free but I am troubled by the lack of staying power in these earpieces and I am glad I didnt pay for them.
