Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread - Page 167

My 535 arrived this morning. SQ and Fit are like 10x better than Triple Fi. Anyway the right driver has some issue and is not properly working. I think there's some connecting problem with the cable. When I turn my head or rotate the driver on itself the sound stops. I'm very unlucky with IEMs.

I have called the vendor and I'll get a full refound. On monday I'll ship them back... 

The problem is that after hearing theese I can't get onother in ear headphones. I want Shure

I've discovered that is the cable that is fault. Now I've asked a new one to the seller's and we should proceed in this way

I'm looking at the SE215 shure, do u have a comparaison for me vs the 535?

Be careful... I saw the X-Files and Prometheus - nothing good can come of dark oil. How's your abdomen? 

Wondering if anyone else has had this much oxidation on their SE535 cable, it was clear at one time lol. It looks pretty cool actually but I hope it's not effecting the sound.

My home theatre speaker wires did this years ago and still sound perfect. I would guess if it gets "too" bad it could affect the sound, however that is probably just surface oxidation.  It just looks bad.  But this is all theoretical.  I wouldn't doubt if most other earphone cables did the same thing, but you just don't see it because it's under a black rubber coating.  It might happen faster too in moist areas.  Or lastly, perhaps there is a crack in the sleeve somewhere allowing more moisture than normal into the wire?

Has anybody been able to use consistently over time these iems when  walking or exercising without the cursed drop outs whenever the cable moves/rotate to a certain angle?

I do construction work six days a week; I wear my SE535's every day.

I also do weight training two days a week and another four running (approximately 15 miles a week); again, the SE535's (and a Cowon J3) are my constant and required companions.

And, I never get drops outs due to the work/activity.

About every three months, I will occasionally get drop out here and there, no matter what I'm doing and this is due to gradual build up of dust and dirt in the connectors.

To fix this, I use a paper towel folded over on itself twice and a toothpick. I put a dab of alcohol on the female connector and using the toothpick, I press press the towel into the female connector and rotate; I repeat this a few times. The first time, the paper towel comes out near black, the second time, not so much and by the third time, the towel shows no dirt. I do this to both female connectors; of course, changing areas of the towel that I shove into the female end (man that sounds bad) as I want to use a clean area each time.

Finally, on the male connectors, just wet a small area of the paper towel with alcohol and squeeze it around the male connector and rotate it, cleaning the connector. Similarly, there will be visible dirt on the towel after each twist.

I only have to do this every three to four months and I work in the worlds dustiest/dirtiest environment every single day with the SE535's.

Once cleaned, I never have drop outs at all (unless they get dirty again over time).

Hope that helps.
