Hi I recently purchased the shure SE535.s i have been reading a lot of forums online and everyone seems to be swapping out the stock cable. since i recently purchased these i am totally lost. my question is this, is it worth getting another cable? i use the shures when i am out and about so i...

Disclaimer: I own only the 535s, and have not heard the others, but as part of buyer's remorse I started to consider whether the other 3 would be better. Based on my intensive research, here is a summary of what I learned for others to add to or learn from. Call it after-the-fact justification...

Hello, I sincerely regret that my first post on this forum has to be an annoyingly familiar question dozens of people probably ask every other day, but I turn to those of you whom will be addressing my questions only because im in deep desperation. I've made my first venture into this hobby i've...

I currently have Ety HF3s which I use with my iPhone 4 as the main source. I really enjoy the sound signature and clarity but have been wanting some more low-end oomph recently.   I have been trying out and comparing the Westone UM3X and Shure SE535LTD (Special Edition Reds); coming from the...

hi,   Im thinking to get iBasso D2+ due the limited budget. but hows about D2+ performance to drive Shure SE535 since se535 famous with the hiss problem. the source will be ALAC + iphone4 via LOD.   Hi already read here and there but seems cant get my answer so i hope this okay to start...

Has anybody tried this?

Ok, i've been reading an comparing all sorts of amps, but i'm kinda lost. I used to have a iAudio J3, but it's broken. I also have a iPod nano, but i'm not happy with the sound. And i think it's mainly because it lacks power.    So i was thinking. Buy a new iAudio which i enjoyed, or see...

Hello,   I consider getting the Shure se 535 + Ipod Nano gen 6. combo. I decided to sell my HD-25 because I need something smaller.   My question is, is that combo good ? I know ipods are not the best players around, but I got used to them so badly, I can't stant manual music management...

I'm ready to get one of these IEM's, and was hoping someone familiar with all three could provide some help. I listen to jazz almost exclusively - late 50's to late 60's. (Miles, Trane, Bill Evans, and all the great guitarists of the era - Wes, Benson, Kessel, Joe P, Burrell, Grant, etc.) I love...

I am looking at buying new portable gear. I have so far just been using ipod touch and klipsch image s4.   Now from reading on the net some people claim that HifiMan 602 is crap, and that its frequency curve isn't straight. I have a hard time believing that it is truly bad though, having...

First post from a head-fi 'noobe' and a 'noobe' on this site. This is not a review per se as much as it is a recounting of my recent journey into the world of head-fiying, which I think can be of interest and of value to others here. Warning: this will likely be a long post.   Background...

I think that equation pretty much describes what I'd like the most. In lots of ways, still looking for an in ear that does what the HD600 does so effortlessly.   I'm really most looking for universals, but would be open to entry level customs.    I really am not fond of anemic bass, I...

recently had the opportunity to upgrade my 5N OCC Dream Cable to the updated 6N OCC Dream Cable MK2 and let me tell you, AMAZING!!!  When i originally stepped up from the OEM Shure cable to the 5N i thought it couldn't get any better...the 6N proved me wrong.  not only do they look great with...

Hello,   I have been using rather cheap earphones for a long time ($20 - $50 range) and am getting rather tired of the "okay" sound. I enjoy good music (good being personal taste, but the point is I thoroughly enjoy music) and I listen to it in a variety of situations. I'm no fan of...

Hi,   I have been going through various threads with comparison between Shure SE535/425 vs other IEM(s) and in general I found Shure SE425 does not have huge fan following compared to 535.  I have a budget which allows me to purchase SE425 easily and maybe if the difference in terms of...

Any views in terms of Sound, Build, Price?

Just curious...  are the Shure se535 IEM that much better than the UE tf10 as in price wise???    The se535 is about 2x the price of the UE tf10...   any thoughts please...  thanks

Can anybody who has owned both comment on how comparable these two IEM's are?   I'm a long time user of the SE535's but recently had mine stolen from the gym; now, I'm trying to decide if I want to re invest in the somewhat expensive SE535's or shoot for something nearly as good but a tad...

which one would be the best choice for me?  I already have a shure se 535 and a dt 990 pro.....which i run out of an ipod/laptop and an onkyo a/v receiver respectively... so what would be a relatively better addition to my audio arsenal?

Hi,   I'm a a very satisfied customer of Westone 4 which I purchased in 2010.   My wife surprised and gifted me a 4r which I find have less bass than the original 4. (Is it me only?  , and I find the memory wire to be pain in the @$$)   .I am wondering would a Shure Se535 be a good...

Hi, I'm choosing between the three mentioned in the title, the SE535, Westone UM3X, or Westone 4R. They seem to be what I'm looking for, something that'll really bring out the detail in music, namely baroque pop/indie rock/classical/jazz/etc.    So, what do you think is best for me? I...

Hi, currently, I own a pair of Shure SE535, and love the mids. However, I find the highs in these to rolled off. Everything else is fine, but are there any IEMs that are similar to SE535, but with better highs? By the way, are there any headphones with similar graph as SE535 too? I have...

Hi All,   First of all, i apologize for any incorrect grammar or limited vocabulary. I'm not natively English. So please let me know if there are errors or poorly written parts.    I just purchased the Phonak Audeo PFE-232 and i already own a Shure SE535 for some time and Sennheiser...

I will be on a business trip to Japan. I am curious whether I can buy a good change cable for the se535 IEM? I am looking for a 7N copper cable . Will not be inTokyo this time but Osaka... any suggestions?

Hi guys, long story short. I will be heading to Hong Kong a week after, for a day just to claim my 6200 dollar check for free! So I will have extra dollar to burn! But my dilemma is that if I buy the earphones in Hong Kong, I will save thousand of taiwanese dollars! BTW, I'm currently studying...
