I just accidentally blasted my new se535's with full volume for a few seconds from my iphone 3gs. Do you think this could have damaged them?
Are the Westone 3's smaller then the SE535's for instance?
I've received the SE535 a few days ago and i'm listening for hours everyday. I just love the sound, more everyday.
Today i tried my previous in-ears, the Sennheiser CX400-Precision II and allthough they aren't bad at all, especially considering the price it's a world of difference with the SE535 (and so is the price ofcourse).
Especially the definition of sound, with having a much wider / clearer soundstage, is a huge difference. More open, clear, balanced and realistic sounding. I love it
But, i'm a little worried about the fit.
Playing around with the earplugs will solve my in-ear annoyances, i'm not worried about that.
It's more the headphone itself which lies on year ears and starts to irritate on some edges after a while. Changing the angle a little solves it a little, but still, not entirely irritation free. I guess my ears are just a little too small.
So i'm in doubt wether another high end IEM would have a better fit and similar sound quality. Anyone any suggestions?

I have the same issue. They're smaller and less smooth than the 530's, so the fit presses into your ear more.

I suggest trying the triple flange tips, as they are pretty long and give a great seal, while keeping the 535's from pressing as much since they stick out some. You can cut the base to get them just the right length.
I tried the Comply tips, but they don't give me the same seal as the triple flanges.
I believe he was referring to the physical construction of the se535s, not the sound.
So I bought the W3 a few months ago and simply loved it. Great bass, nice highs, slightly recessed mids, just an overall fun IEM. I got an itch to try the new 535s, and all I can say is that the W3s are not seeing much use lately. The clarity and midrange on the Shure's is just awesome, a bit larger soundstage than the W3 as well. The bass is there when it needs to be, and is never muddy. People usually equate bass with "fun", but to me, these forward mids and clarity are pretty fun as well.
Mirrors my experiences exactly coming from the Westone 3s (which I still enjoy)!
