Enjoying my SE535. I have clear model and the cable has quite a strong glue/plastic smell. Anyone else notice? Toxic?

I think that smell will disappear after a short time of use .. Don't worry

Really liking these. I like them best with some EQ. iPod on Latin through FiiO 12A = heaven!

Great that you are enjoying them ... What is the model of your iPod?

Classic iPod - model 6 I think?

If you like equalizers I strongly recommend an iPod touch or iPhone for the eq apps

Problem is I rip my CD's lossless so large files. That's why I got the 160 GB iPod. Though I wish it had better DAC.

Just got Westone tip fit kit. The black foam seem like good fit. Very comfortable!

yes the black foam is unbeatable indeed .... you can get a better DAC for your ipod but it is a tad expensive ...

I checked and my iPod Classic is latest 7th Generation.  I use FiiO line out cable to FiiO 12A Montblanc.  When charging the iPod and listening through the iPod amp it really doesn't sound to bad.  But the external amp kicks it up whole 'nother level.

Does anyone have a good cable recommendation for the Shure SE535LTDs? The sound breaks off when I wiggle the cable..

I had a custom silver lutz made by Ted Allen. He should pop up on the forums some where. Pairs wonderfully with my SE 535's

any difference in sound between standard and limited version?

I've only used the one from Ted Allen, who will custom make them or moon audio which are more generic.

Just wanted to report back on SE215 vs SE535.
 
Initially I found the SE215 to sound more 'correct' through the mids and highs and the SE535 to sound 'off' somehow, albeit a lot clearer.
 
Having used the SE535 now for weeks exclusively, and tried briefly switching back to the SE215, I found the SE215 to sound 'off'. Spiky frequencies and slightly hollow mids, comparatively speaking, although still excellent excellent earphones for their price point. I actually found going to back to Shure black foam tips gave me more treble, perhaps because of the wider gap, and addressed so some of my earlier gripes. Took a long long time for my ears to accept the SE535 though.
 
Waiting to see the new dragonfly DAC specs, to see if it might be a good choice to up the level again. Then I'm already dreaming of SE846 or CIEMs.
 
I do find the SE535 sound so different to full size headphones, not just the expected IEM vs full-size differences, it's just a totally different sound. For instance SE535 vs first gen. over-ear momentums. I'm still not sure which one is 'correct'.
