Hello,

Just wandering if paying $260 for ear moldings from sensaphonics would be worth it for the where se535? How much better isolation and sound quality improvement can I expect to get? Also how far deep does it go in the ear? I don't like how much the flange tips go in your ear.

You might as well get them reshelled via Inearz for $90, cheaper and then they are like full customs. That's what I'm going to do with my SE535

Why not get a custom sleeve rather than a full reshell? That way the resell value would be considerably higher at the end. I'm about to do just that with my Westones

That's exactly what I've described, those are custom sleeves designed to fit on the nozzle instead of the regular tips.

Check other forum threads because usually people say that with a custom fit, the bass sounds different. Also bear in mind that they will be using soft silicone as the material instead of acrylic. the price is on par as what Westone is charging but I'm going with 1964 EARS ( not because westone is bad, but because they keep giving the me run around with shipping and with whom i have to deal with). 1964 EARS will do it for $100, made from hard acrylic (my bad they also use silicone)

I thought it was $200 for an acrylic reshell.

$200 for a full reshell, $100 for just the custom sleeve. Sorry if things got long winded in my previous post

Sensaphonics sleeves for Shure SE Series cost $150. Obviously, I recommend it as an excellent option. Fits all models in the current SE line, and leaves the earphones intact. Plus, they are pretty awesome -- excellent seal/isolation, very comfortable, and quite low profile.

 

Not quite "full custom" but still a notable upgrade. Also very illustrative of the difference between universals and customs.
