Thanks a lot. It really helps to know people like it. 

As my title suggests, I haven't made any posts since forever. I recently decided to participate in a local write up contest to win this particular shure model, so I feel that it would benefit (I hope) the head fi community if i published my work. To be honest, I am no professional writer or...

Anyone here knows how the 535s fares when amped with the RSA SR71A?

Weird that you guys have problems with the build quality of the 215s or any shure products for the matter. Myself, on the contrary, can attest to the sheer amount of damage my shure iems can take ^^ Lets see… I have dropped them uncountable times, sat on them, got them caught between train...

11 beats tour and counting (for today only) Seems like monster's marketing is pretty darn good...

As an owner of the 535s, I can say for certain that you definitely won't be disappointed with the lush mids when it comes to artists such as adele. Yet on the other hand, because of the mid-centric signature of the 535s and overly smooth mids, the major flaw i find with my 535s is that the bass...

I used to think that way too >< Blame their marketing, screw! I lost my wallet the day i heard the se535s, probably not gonna get it back again >< Im 15 btw...

If you don't like the freezer idea you can try prying it out with your fingernails. Just grip the bottom with your fingernails and twist and pull. I know it sounds weird but it works for my se535s. 

Quote: Hi there ^^. It really depends on you though, if you are used to listening to music at louder volumes an amp would help your iPod cope with the 80ohms. But that means you have to fork out additional $$ to get a reasonably good portable amp.   Before you make any purchase i...

Any idea on how the se535 compares to the rest? I heard its has vast improvements from its predecessor...
