I HAVE NO RIG OR NETHING JUST A PAIR OF BOSE IN-EAR HEADPHONES WHICH WHERE GOOD FOR A WHILE BUT I FELT LIKE THERE COULD BE SOMETHING SO MUCH MORE THAN THIS. SO I STARTED RESEARCHING AND REALIZE MY 100 DOLLAR HEADPHONES WHERE CRAP COMPARED TO THE HIGH END ONES AVAILABLE; SO I AM BASICALLY HERE FOR HELP PPL AND NETHING WOULD BE GREAT =). I JUST PURCHASED THE SHURE SE530'S TODAY OVER THE INTERNET SO I WANT TO START WITH THAT AND ANY ADVICE TO MAXIMIZE THE QUALITY WITH MY ZUNE 120 GB WOULD BE TAKEN. SO PLZ IF YOU GUYZ CAN HELP ME I WILL LIKE TO GET STARTED ON THE ROAD TO THE "PERFECT" SOUND. MORE SPECIFIC SOMETHING I CAN USE AND ENJOY PORTABLE AND AT HOME.

 Hi Indrid, where are you from? I think it might be hard for most of us here to advise you as not many of us have used the Zune, mainly because it is hardly available outside of the U.S. But, the Shure 530 is definitely a good choice, perhaps you might wanna wait till they arrive, have a good listen to it, before deciding where to proceed from there.

 INDRIDCLERIC, it will be good if you can type without caps. it kind of hard to read with all letter caps and some may find it rude/offending.

 HOWDY WESTERNER! IT SURE IS HARD TO READ!

But welcome to HeadphoneHaven.. to be honest, I've never really tried the Zune but I can't recommend. I really suggest you read around some threads here and also on Head-Fi to get an idea on what kind of sound signature you would like on your earphones/IEMs, then you could proceed from there.

Dun mean to be rude but I'm pretty sure this isn't the first forum to tell you that. Where were you?

BTW since you are located in US, its much better if you head down to http://www.head-fi.org/forums/ . I'm sure they have Zune users and better still, provide you locations of retail shops around your area.
