Hey everyone, I've spent some time reading reviews, guides and impressions regarding modding the Shure by changing dampers. The main things I've managed to pick up: 1. Dampers need to be 2.08 diameter 2. There is no specific tool to easily change dampers. 3. To my understanding one can't damage...

So I own D5000's which are my favorite, SE215's and 535's, V-Moda M80's, Beyer DT 770 80ohm, Momentums, but the only open pair I have are my Porta Pros lol.   Every time I look at open headphones I get confused as they don't have great reviews but then anytime you read close headphone reviews...

Hiya,   I've been using a pair of shure 535's for close to 2 years now, but this morning when I tried to listen to them one side had no sound at all. They were working perfectly fine a couple of days ago, and had no indications of any issues (like crackling, sound distortion, or anything). At...

Searching for a good price on the SE535 I came across this link with amazon.   http://www.amazon.com/Shure-SE535LTD-J-Isolating-Earphones-International/dp/B005Y7TTRE#Ask   Are these legitimate? Why would they be offering an international version with a steep discount? How would I be able to...

I was hoping someone could recommend an IEM as per the title of the thread.  These are the factors that are important to me:   Isolation: This is the most important factor, as the IEMs would mostly be used for commuting and my train route is very noisy.  Something as close as possible to the...

I'm currently using the Shure SE535 with the black Olive tip. The medium black olive tip now fits my ear perfectly while it was a little too big at first.    Can tips make your earholes bigger?  

So I've searched everywhere I could for criteria of a goos sound quality on eraphones and I didn't find any. well, what is important for me, most of all, is details. I'm looking for something with high fidelity to frequency, high dynamic range, low cross-talk on stereo and low distortions. what...

Drop to impulse speed!   The problem with deals is that you end up buying stuff you never wanted in the first place. So when I saw the Nuforce NE-600X for under $10, I immediately felt that familiar feeling when the two little dudes climbed out of my clavicles and took up their usual places...

I've noticed that all the ciem comparisons are either or but not both (xor for the logicians =) ).   Specifically I was most interested in soundstage as both are reported to be amazingly large, but everything else is important too.   Thanks.

Hi guys.    I have a brand new Shure se535, loving it!!! I do however think that the foam tips are abit too short, had the same problem with my Shure se214LTD.   I got a Comply Foam P-series. Have only read good thing about it. Many people say that its lifetime is quite short. How long would...

I am looking for a pair of IEMs. I am pretty interested in the Shures SE535 Ltd Ed but i just want to know if there are other good ones out there with better soundstage and clarity. I heard the Senns IE80 are good. What do you guys think?    Any other good IEMS too

I am a long time music/hi-fi/live sound guy (who also does sound engineering for a singer/songwriter friend of mine) who appreciates good sound.   I have never really listened to music through portable headphones as my ear canal is quite small and earbuds never fit properly and feel...

How does the Soundmagic E10 compare to the Shure SE535 and UE900?

Looking into selling my shure 535s and getting something with better fit/isolation- more like the  triple fi 10s that i loved maybe.   i'm considering getting Phonak Audeo PFE 232s, but curious if there's any newer technology that would be a better fit for me.       what do you recommend...

How are the se535 compared to 1964ears v6? I thin i can stretch upto 700$ for a piece. I really want great sound and i had se530s before and a pair of sennheiser ie80. As it stands im very interested in either 535s or the v6-Stage. Oh and one more question.. Where can i ask for help if it is...

Just received the Shure SE 535's, but when I plugged them straight into my iPod I was a little disappointed. I don't have a portable AMP/DAC, but curious to hear what these could sound like I plugged them into the Schiit Valhalla and Bifrost Uber. Very happy with the result! Detail was better...

Hello I was wondering if anyone could recommend a replacement cable for my Shure 535 SE current one is failing on the left side part. Not looking to spend a massive amount on one but say £50-100 hopefully I can get a decent cable for that price. Nothing is wrong with the IEM's themselves thankfully.

Hello everyone,   I'm having a bit of a tough time deciding on which pair of IEMs I should get. Based on my preferences and reading of reviews, I've sort of shortlisted the Audio-Technica ATH-IM03 and the Shure SE535. Just to let you guys know, I'm sort of an all-rounder when it comes to...

Hi guys,   Been a follower of head-fi and I thought why not join the community.   Also I have a decision on a new pair of earphones that I need help with.   I recently purchased a pair of Shure SE535 as I had wanted a pair since they were  released years back and I needed a replacement...

Hi guys, I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a new set of earbuds and I think I narrowed it down to the Shure 535 and Noble 4. I'm looking for fairly musical sounding earbuds that will immerse mento the music while still allowing me to listen analytically. I listen to a lot of indie...

Hi All, I'm in the market for a pair of high end IEMs, and would appreciate some help in choosing the correct headphones. My current setup is a Samsung Galaxy S4 driving a FiiO E18 DAC / Amp digitally through its USB port. All my music is ripped to 320 Kb’s MP3 or FLAC formats, and I have a...

This is the seventh in my comparisons of three headphones, all using a group of 10 tests and scored by ranking their performance on each test as first, second, and third place.  I call this the "Test of the 500s" -- each model number is either equal to or in the 500s, and the cost of each of...

Hello,   I would like a full-size set of cans that would be an upgrade from my Shure 535. When I say upgrade, really the only thing I don't like about the Shure 535 is the lack of low, visceral bass.   So, I would like something that retains all the positives of the Shure, plus adds the...

How do the UE 4000 sound compared to the Shure SE535 and UE900?

My Shure SE846 arrived. I was pleasantly surprised that this IEM's true subwoofer really delivers what it promises. It depends on the song. In songs with sub-bass, this IEM really impressed me. The sub-bass is very deep. I would describe it as a booming sound that you hear when a large, heavy...
