This review is for the sort of folks that aren't self-proclaimed audiophiles.

Fantastic mids and clean bass; Solid build; Supeb isolation

Price

I used to own Klipsch x10 and x11i IEMs, as well as some Monster Turbines. To give a perspective, those IEMs ranged ~$200 and were all single driver. All of them were also pretty bass heavy, which if you've done your research, you'll realize is a big change going to the more neural SE 535s.

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.

I previously had the SE530s but one of the earphones went out the day before my 2-year warranty expired. Shure replaced them with the SE535s (an unexpected surprise). The 535s are much more comfortable and easier to put in the ear (I think because of the more angular shape of the earphone).

Amazon Verified Purchase ( What's this? ) This review is from: Shure SE535-CL Triple High-Definition MicroDriver Earphone with Detachable Cable (Clear) (Electronics) I had a serious problem getting these to fit. My ears were killing me by the time I sent them back. However; the sound is awesome.

There are three types of earphones; those that look good, those that sound good, and those that look and sound awful. The Shure SE535 earphones sit firmly in the second category. Stylish and good-looking they are not, but they do sound utterly fantastic. At ￡350 they're certainly not cheap.

These top-end Shures are off to a great start if a good fit is high on your list of priorities. They're a little fiddly to get in the ears, but their snug fit and wrap-around cables keep them firmly in place.

Apple Touch; Punchy; pacey performance; very comfortable; impressive sound isolation

Apple Touch; Not quite as transparent as their closest rivals

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 E500PTH earphones, which have been with us for nigh four years now, were good enough.

Unbelievably detailed, utterly uncompromising.
