Have you tried it with comply tips?

How do these work with iPhone 5s using Spotify premium or Tidal, or ipod Classic 7th Gen with lossless files? These are on Massdrop right now and I'm interested in a really good IEM, but some concern they might be too good for iPhone or iPod and reveal their deficiencies. If these need a dac/amp to sound great, id probably just use them at home and would likely prefer my over-ear headphones.

Just noticed this in the manual for my SE535. Anyone know what part of the earphones may cause cancer?
i think it is the sleeves ... don't know is it the silicon or foam or both are mildly carcinogenic
I replaced the Shure case for SE535 and had the same warning in the package. Go figure!
so i finally took the plunge and bought a pair of 535s from a fellow head-fier. after a week of listening, i am happy as can be, they sound beautiful; exceeded my expectations. since they were used, i only have a couple of the tips (grey soft-flex and tri-flange). the tri-flange seems to sound the best but is rather uncomfortable, even with cutting off some of the stem. soft-flex is more comfortable but seems to not isolate as well.
if anyone else out there has some extra tips that they are not planning to use, i would love to try them out to see if i can get a better fit. Medium black foam and the yellow foam are what i am most interested in. Would be glad to paypal a few dollars to cover the cost and S&H. PM me if you have anything.
now i need to re-rip all of my music...
I use Westone silicone tips with my 535. That's what I use with my UM1, and get great comfort and isolation using it.
As a bonus, it smoothens the treble, which I find to be hot with the stock Shure tips.
My tip (huehue,pun) is to use the triple flanges. At first i also thought they were crazy uncomfortable, but it seemed like they softenee up anf now they are the most comfortable and best sounding tips for me. Also learning how to best fit themprobably helps a lot with comfort, and try sucking on them so they are a little moist, they slide in super easy then.
The biggest benefit of the trips beside isolation and sound is that they stay in the same spot and doesnt move from cable movement.

(for some reason, my left ear canal is quite a bit smaller than my right; it is a deformity than has never impacted my life until now)
Perhaps i will give them another shot, or try the Westone tips as adgaps mentioned...
thanks for the advice
