  ALSO, do you guys know where to buy triple flanges that are pretty much identical to the stock ones? Would be nice to have a few so i can cut and try different things.
 

congratulations

  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.

I use my SE535 almost exclusively with my iPhone 6 and have no complaints. It's possible that the primary reason that I so use it is that I don't currently have an amp suited to driving IEMs with manageable gain. My UHA-6S MkII has an op-amp that drives the SE535 too loud too quickly. But given how great the SE535 sounds straight out of the iPhone, I may very well skip an amp/DAC for them altogether. They're my OTG solution, so the simpler the chain the better. If I decide to get a more demanding, higher-level IEM, then I'll have my Leck retrofitted.

Anyone have any experience with Lear SHURE SE535 reshelling with additional driver service?

Thanks

thanks but amazon almost never seems to ship to sweden.
 
These however seem to do and they werent crazy expensive (my local dealer that sells shure charges like 20 bucks for 1 pair of flanges)

Are they the same? They mention a bunch of other phones but they look the same.

Are Westone cables with MMCX connectors compatible with the SE535? Viz.,

Seems like it would be nice for OTG.
 
EDIT: There is evidence in this thread that at least some Westone MMCX cables are compatible with the SE535.

I tried my Westone W30 cable with my brand new SE535 and it worked with big caveat: the cable connection is kind of loose so when i move the cable it disconnects quite easily hence i have given up.


Rule of math: if it seems easy you're doing it wrong.

I have two blue Westone MMCX cable and one black one. All three works fine with SE535/846.

Thank y'all for the responses. I'll keep my eyes on the Westone cables. I'm looking for a cable that's shorter than the stock Shure cable but doesn't cost a fortune (and isn't microphonic).

SE535 sounds really good out of my iPhone 6. I think W30 is a bit better though (better instrument separation and treble).

Stay away from the Fiio period

Is the issue with the RC-SE1 that the cable is microphonic?

I have tried twice both cables that are included in the Westone W30 retail box and none of them attaches properly to the SE535 mmcx. I can get connection but so flimsy that just by inserting the iem in the ear the cable detaches from the shell. You can tell that it ani't going to work because the click upon connection is very faint compared with the regular click sound.

If somebody has achieved a secure connection with that loud click please tell how...

You can try using different sized MMCX washers, as that may/should help regarding securing a tight connection.
 
If you are having trouble finding them, Ted Allen (headphonelounge.com) has some MMCX washers, as he included some MMCX washers for me when I purchased my MMCX Silver Litz from him.
 
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info.
 
Anyway it's not a big deal. I'm happy with stock cable. Just wanted to give it a shot to check if reports were accurate about Westone cables working flawlessly in the SE series.

No worries at all.  Now you (and anyone else who reads the posts above) will know a way to make the connection more secure/tighter, regardless of most of the various MMCX connectors used (Westone, Shure, third party/custom MMCX connectors, etcetera).

For anyone who pairs their SE535/846 with an AK. This seller has a balanced cable for $40.00. Good quality but unfortunately, there are no markings for right and left. Solid 2.5mm connection, which is a known problem for the AK240. Three left as of this posting.
