Hi
Just saw this thread and I'll give you an additional opinion! (Remember these are just my thoughts on them)
I've owned: Shure 425/530/535/Triple.fi 10
Listened to: Too many
How I listen: FLAC --> Cowon S9 --> SE425
Regarding the IEMs themselves (I've had them for like 4 months listened to them pretty much everyday for 1-2 hours a day)
1. They are pretty neutral and flat which I enjoy
2. It does have a decent bass it's not a sub-bass but it's more of a punchy/crisp bass (It's not booming like the 530s)
3. Amazing attack speed - strings/orchestral/woodwinds
4. I've used the triple flanges modified to bi-flanges for a while but now I use the medium olives set just to the nozzle line. It increased sound stage for some reason
5. Same isolation as pretty much all shures (just depends on what sleeve you use)
6. The cable is just too awesome. Kevlar reinforced it has a nice feel to it and the IEMs are detachable.
7. The plug/termination is kind of on the big side (barely fits through my Cowon with Noreve case)
8. At least to my ears, I've found no EQ to be way too flat for my taste
9. The mids are present but isn't very predominant unlike the SE530/535s
10. The clear plastic shell is kind of disappointing seems pretty fragile
Personal summary: The cable construction, attack speed, neutral sound signature are the main reasons why I like them more than my SE530s/TF10s but it will disappoint a few looking for brain thumping bass and full mids.
