The Shure SE535 In-Ears are a clear winner for stage applications, thanks to their convenient features and quality workmanship. The external noise suppression was good, while wearing comfort is very impressive for those looking for something they can wear for hours at a time with no fatigue.

Shure SE535 Reds have served me very well over quite a long period now. It has been one constant while I shuffled through other earphones. This review is long overdue, but better late than never Intro: Although these are not having a metal housing, they still feel solid, and have held up remarkably...

Amazing Mids; Excellent comfort plus good isolation

Lacks treble extension; subbass rolled off; Pricey

The sound is fairly what I expected to be. They do most types of music well, but you have to play around with ear tip sizing to get the best sound along with adjusting your equalizer a little for ones taste. Everyone hearing is a bit different so what works for one may not work for others.

When it comes to audio, most people don't spend enough on speakers or headphones. Despite the fact that your headphones are the pieces of the puzzle that actually make the sound that you hear, the vast majority of the people I see around New York City have nasty $10 earbuds hooked up to an iPod or...

The Shure SE420 earphones offer high-quality sound from a dual-driver design; They come with a nice compliment of accessories, and the eartips block out a lot of ambient noise

The Shure SE420s are expensive, and are a tad large for earbuds; For such pricey 'buds, the SE420s are also a bit bass-shy; Some people might not like the feel of the earplug-like fit

The SE535 is, on the whole, a better earphone than the outgoing SE530 model, but sets such as the Westone 4 are quick to point out its remaining deficiencies

Top-notch build quality; well-accessorized; performance improved over SE530

Detachable cable can be unwieldy

(centre) With apologies to Shure, the SE535 earphones don't really need to exist. Frankly, the outgoing model which this upgrade replaces, the SE530 earphones, in turn an update to the earphones, which have been with us for nigh four years now, were good enough.

I think the SE535's are well on the other side of the boundary between earphones and in-ear-monitors. Other reviews suggested these Shures would reveal source limitations - I have found that to be true.

Accuracy and sound quality - no noticeable coloration; The sound loosens up once you've got a few hours on them; Interchangeable wire allows you to use custom wire or Shure's Bluetooth cable

Be prepared to hear whether your favorite music was really well recorded, or not; Um, kind of fussy over the ear wires - which I'm getting used to now

Upgraded from the SE425 to SE535 and didn't realize just how much I was missing. Goes toe-to-toe on bass with Bose in-ear headphones plus sounds better overall.

These are the best I've used. A usable mix is so easy to attain in a live situation

Unbelievably detailed, utterly uncompromising.
