Unbelievably detailed, utterly uncompromising.
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 in-ear headphones from Shure have been gracing my shell-likes of late, and they are some of the best on the market. They replace Shure's 530 model, which has been around for a few years now – the best testament to a great product.
The Shure SE535 earphones are a study in contrasts between frustration and nirvana. Boy, this wide-open gap in opinion is going to need some explaining. Shure is one of the better known headphone/earphone companies around, so when they announce a new model, it's news.
Really good sound; Removable cables; Good selection of add-ons; Little to no microphonics
Really high price; Not the most comfortable earphones at this price
The SE535s are a good, durable set of in-ears. They're stupidly expensive at $500, though.
If you polled a group of high-end headphone aficionados to ask which universal-fit in-ear headphones they regarded most highly as performance icons, I'm betting that Shure's venerable SE530 would appear near the top of the list.
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.
Shure's most expensive earphones yet, the Shure SE535s buds, trump the world-famous Shure SE530s, which are already seen by many audio nuts as the best earphones in the world.
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.
We reckon the Shure SE535s are the best sound-isolating headphones on the market. They're extremely pricey but they're absolutely worth the money for audiophiles. If you're strapped for cash, you might consider chasing down a pair of the older SE530s, which are now available for around £250.
Incredible sound quality; Comfortable; Replaceable cable; Plenty of accessories included
Extremely pricey; Over-the-ear form factor won't be to everyone's tastes
