Hello,   I just recently bought a new laptop mostly so I can work in coffee shops and such as I am a freelance translator. It is an Asus laptop that comes with a little subwoofer. Anyway the noise that comes out the headphone jack on the laptop is insane, so I did some research and bought the...

Hi, I recently received my Shure SE535 LTD`s and really dislike the stock Shure cable, I`m looking for a nice custom cable and was wondering which cables would suit the sound sig, does anyone have any experience with the cable builder Sunricky on ebay?, I`m currently interested in this cable...

Someone told me that the best improvement I can make to any headphone is using the cable... Is there a noticeable sound difference to upgrading the cord for my SE 535's (clear ones) or would it be a waste? I use it mainly with my iPhone with music downloaded from iTunes.... If so what is the...

Hi guys,   sorry for the corny subject of the thread ...  I've done some reading here and it seems like if I want to spend under $500 for a in ear phones, those 3 models are some of the best money can buy.   Westone 4R vs Shure SE535 vs HifiMan RE-600   I currently use Bose MIE2i and to...

I have tried absolutely every tip possible over the years and the one that gives me the best isolation and sound combo on my 535's and westone 4's has been the gliders...they also seem to last longer than comply tips and are easier to put back in my ears once i remove them because they dont get...

Hi.I have bought the silver sonic cable for my shure se535 since 1.5 year.Yesterday i noticed some kind of a bronze mark within the cable.Does anybody knows what this mark is and what caused it?Does it affect sound quality?Please help

Hi   Ive previously had a pair of 535s and the IE80s and liked both and now need a new pair of IEMs.   Although I could afford the 846 or others in that price range at a push, I just wouldnt use them enough to warrant the cost.   Also my music isnt of good enough quality to do them...

Opinions on what the title suggests would be appreciated. Currently have a pair of Shure SE310's which I have enjoyed for the last 2 years or so. They have just started suffering from a crackling sound which I have narrowed down to the extension cable which I originally planned to replace, but...

Hiya,   I currently own a pair of Shure se535 (IEMs), and was looking to get some good mid-range headphones to use at home, since long usage of earphones gets a bit uncomfortable for me. After looking around for a fair bit, I narrowed my choice down to AKG 701 and HD 598s. Having gone to a...

Been on this journey 10 years now and have enjoyed the anticipation of every purchase.  The waiting, the opening of the product, the first listen, the break-in....I've loved every minute.   But as much as I have enjoyed so many IEM's,    I have been able to poke a fault at everyone of them...

Hello,   I recently purchased a pair of Shure SE846s.  The earphones seem nice but I do not feel I am getting enough out of them.  I am hoping that a set of custom earpieces will make the difference.  I would love some feedback and I would also live some recommendations on who to go to to have...

Im getting some nice headphones for my 15 th birthday in october. I listen to rap, hip hop, rock, classical, and everything in between. I was also looking at in ear headphones because i will also be listening on my bus ride home from school. I like having powerful bass. I looked at the shure...

Hey Head-Fi'ers!   I love this forum, it has been my go-to for a while, so glad to see so many audiophiles in one place! I want to contribute my thoughts on my journey on finding a new IEM. I've yet to find one that I'm 100% sold on, but here are my thoughts of what I've tried. I would love...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone` could give me a link to a place that sells a single replacement ear bud/monitor  for a shure se535. I am based in the UK but not bothered where it comes from. I have done what I thought were the correct search terms on amazon and ebay as well as...

Today I got to work and went to remove my SE535s and the right side cable stayed behind my ear and I had just the iem in my hand. NOT good. Can anyone suggest how I might get the piece that is stuck out?? :( edit: here's a more clear image Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I am planning my next upgrade to the $1000+ land of dream (at least from where I am) Although Shure is not over 1000, I get the impression it is still good enough to compare with the other models.   I have not listened to any of the models I listed so all I can do is search and see...
