They are a quite different sound. The Shure is quite mid-forward - vocals quite forward. Bass is good on the SE535 - flat and extended. The ES3 has a nice sub-bass lift. The ES3 has much better treble extension. I would consider the 535 as a side-step. It depends on what you are looking for, and if you want something quite different. What do you look for in an IEM. What would you like to change from the ES3? What is the budget range?

Thanks for your views Brooko. I am good with the es3s highs and mids. Sub bass is too much to handle actually. So a little subdued sub bass and maybe a better mid bass with similar or more neutral signature will be great. Budget would be around $500.

There are some really good earphones around the $500 mark. Let m e give it some thought and get back to you. Might PM so I don't take this thread off topic.
