Feedback - ebay user "briansemerick" - 157 (100% positive, 10 years)
Hi all. I decided to get the 535's and not a moment too soon. My 530's are starting to cut out in the right ear, and the issue has been isolated to the cabling up near the phone connection. I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I'm not good in that area - and these are 2.5 years old so they are out of warranty.
Issues:
- * Right ear cutting out sound when moved * - only major defect
- Rubber cable directors came off, I super glued them slightly around the edges, came off again. There is a slight impression of glue on the back of the Left earphone where I flubbed and touched it. (cosmetic)
- Left cable director is splitting (cosmetic). Tried to dab glue to close the split, to no avail. (cosmetic)
- Left earphone's filter is missing due to overzealous cleaning - slightly punched it in by accident with the tip of a paperclip. Should've used the cleaner, but I was at work and was a novice. Full disclosure. (minor)
Basically all of these would be moot if you re-cabled them. The filter on the left is missing, however I have never noticed a sound difference since my mishap. You may be able to put in a new filter if you're going to crack them open anyway. So if you're up to the task and want some great sounding SE530's, here's your chance. Without the cable issue they have sounded amazing for 2.5 years, which is why I'm getting the 535's.
(as a testament to these phones, I'm still using them at the moment even with the cutting out at certain angles. They usually work ok, but it's definitely an issue. Beautiful sound)

I'm at work and can't do it justice with iphone pictures, so I will take some shots tonight if I can.
