I am currently using a modified Westone ES cable as the original cable's memory wire was difficult.
These are as Shure says, SE535 with added zing.
Just so we don't spread mis-information. I read this to mean the Westone ES cable gives the SE535 added zing.
Or has Shure gone on record to say the red SE535 has added zing to the sound?
Are they just testing these out to see how many they sell? If people still complain about treble and these give a treble boost, then aren't these just "better" than the old SE535s? If so, they should just roll them out in general, instead of letting everyone with SE535 regulars sit in the dust. Or, do you think they're just testing these out and then going to sell some kind of SE540s in the rest of the world?
I might be going to Asia soon, so I'll let you know if they have any on display (they tend to have IEMs on display and for preview use). And do you think the added "zing" is just psychological, or is it truly there? Are you able to test them side by side quickly with the SE535s?
Thanks!
I thought the SE535 did, indeed, fix the rolled off treble of SE530. I would fear tweaking it even more could make the treble of SE535 LTD E too strident.

I though them a bit thick. I don't think a couple of DB of upper mid/highs would hurt if they don't get carried away with it.
I'm still in two minds with my SE535 red.
Comparing it with my SE215, the 215 has a more fun sound. The 535 has better details, soundstage and separation. But sometimes I find it a bit boring. And it's bass does not have as much impact as the 215.
This is my first high end IEM. So wondering whether I'm not used to a more balanced sound. Not sure whether to persist with it to get used to this type of sound or move on.
