Shure SE535 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Clear)
The SE535 in-ear headphones from Shure provide top-quality audio in a sleek, compact, noise-isolating design that's ideal for use at home or on-the-road. Based on Shure's experience with professional in-ear monitors, each of the earpieces has triple high-definition MicroDrivers, in essence putting a separate tweeter and dual woofers into each ear for rich, detailed audio across the full frequency spectrum with a deep bass response. The ergonomic, professional design has a low-profile shape with an optimized nozzle angle for exceptional comfort.
The included fit kit contains multiple sizes of ear sleeves, allowing you to find the perfect size for your ear and effectively reduce ambient noise by as much as 37dB so you can focus on your music. The detachable Kevlar-reinforced cable connects to the earpieces using gold-plated MMCX connectors to lock in place but also provide a 360° rotation. This rotation, along with the formable wire, allows you to direct the cable over and behind the ears to minimize snags and tangles. The other end of the cable has a 3.5mm mini plug, as well as 1/4" and airplane adapters for wide compatibility with consumer and professional audio devices and in-flight entertainment systems. A detachable volume attenuator is included for lowering high-output sound sources. A compact and durable case is included for storage and transportation.

Comments about Shure SE535 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Clear):
If you have the means I highly suggest picking up a pair. Music rendition is perfect...every tone every vibration is exactly perfect. The finest listening experience I have ever had! Started with a pair of 110's and then moved up to the Se215's. They were stolen a few months later and I decided to go all the way and get a pair of the SE535's. Absolutely NO regrets. I actually shutter to think about what I would be missing out on had I not purchased these.

Comments about Shure SE535 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Clear):
Possibly as good as an in ear headphone can get. The biggest problem is everything in the $100-$200 range now seems inadequate.
These are very solid and well made but take some practice to find the perfect position. Once you do they are very comfortable. I just ordered custom ear plugs for these. My ear canals are at an odd angle and are narrow. Off the shelf plugs don't fit me perfectly, but for many they will. Try those first.
The most noticeable audio quality is the depth of imagining. Very close to over the ear cans.

Comments about Shure SE535 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Clear):
These in ear phones sound great. You really can hear everything in a clear and unadulterated way. Good recordings really shine, but I'll have to say, being a 50's something person, my old rock favorites sound better than ever as well. I have some B&W Society of Sound recordings that sound amazing through these earphones. I travel to Asia numerous times a year, and look forward to using these on the 14 hour flight.
They are a little awkward putting in at first, but not bad once you get the feel of it. You know they are well seated when you can't hear a conversation less than 10 feet away.
I also own a pair of Shure 210's, which are very good for the price. These really stand out as having much more dynamic sound quality.

Comments about Shure SE535 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Clear):
Build quality: The build quality of this IEM (in ear monitor) is pretty phenomenal, these are by far the most robustly built IEMs I've owned. The cable is thick and strong, yet pliable. I doubt the cracking issue from earlier models will plague this IEM, but even if it does, the cables are replaceable.
Fit: Fit is clearly a personal thing, so my experiences may not ring true for others reading this. The earpieces are somewhat smooth though they are a few ridges on them (including the imprint of SE535 on the inside). I didn't have a big issue with the ear guides on these, though some might.
The SE535 sound in 3 words: authoritative, mid-focused, full.
Highs: These IEMs have good treble detail but the treble isn't crisp, instead it's smooth and somewhat understated. This may result in less perceived clarity than some other brighter phones. Don't be fooled though, the treble is there and it is well extended, its just that the way it's presented may sound a little dull. The treble produced by these allows for fatigue free listening. And depending on treble tastes this could be a pro or con.
Mids: Dominant and smooth. Very clear and revealing. Given that these IEMs are quite mid focused; they can sound somewhat unusual at first, depending on how comfortable you are with Shure house sound. Once you do get used to it, it really does allow you to pick out new details in the music, and at least in my case, identify a very unique sound signature to music.
Lows: good bass extension without an over-emphasized impact. If the song requires a lot of bass, these will produce it. But they'll never drown out the rest of the music (unless it was intended that way). The bass is also fast and textured. There is rarely any boom to it. I lobe the bass on these. I think they are just right in the main. If I'm listening to dub step, hip hop or any other bass heavy music, these wouldn't hurt to have another few dbs on the bass.
Sound stage: These IEMs have a very good sound stage/head stage, its not artificially wide, but it's wide when it needs to be. Sound placement is also great, as one would expect at this level, you can easily locate sounds in 3D space; whether that be forward and backwards or above and below your ear line.
In summary these are incredibly well built IEMs that produce a unique, mid centric, yet balanced sound, if you are a fan of the Shure house sound you will really love these. The recommended retail price for these IEMs are very much on the high side for universals, but if it is the Shure sound you want then this is it.
