I have a set of 1964-v3 with recessed sockets and have gone through a few official cables. The wire and plastic shielding break at the base of the two-pinned plug. Offical cable is US$30 plus shipping. Is there any recommendation for a better 3.5mm cable that is not much more expensive, or...

I am considering these two options after reading these two reviews and about the Shure SE535's. I owned SE530's until they were recently stolen and I am looking for a replacement. I was thinking of SE535's with custom mould from Sensaphonics, but I am opening up to other options. One thing I...

Hi,   I think I will be purchasing SE535 special editions (my se530's were stolen a few months ago) and getting custom moulds. (in melbourne, australia)   I have had custom moulds twice before and have not achieved satisfactory isolation. Using them, they isolate momentarily and then...

Hi,   I've owned a couple of pairs of etymotics and a couple of pairs of shures. my last pair were a set of SE530's. To be honest, they were not the most comfortable and the build quality was not great, but I was happy with the sound. The paint peeled and more annoyingly the rubber cable...
