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.

The Shure SE535 make listening to music different. It is almost like your music is new to you. Music is so incredibly clear and detailed. You hear it all.
Special is the right word!

Comments about Shure SE535 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Metallic Bronze):
Having owned many Shure headphone models, I finally decided to go up to their most expensive. I was not disappointed. The sound is second to none, the build quality is superb. It comes with many different size ear pieces and the ability to go to an audiologist to get fitted for custom sized inserts.
It also comes with a volume control that attaches to the cord, but that is of poor quality. The plastic sides have already split apart simply from putting the plug in. That is why I deducted one star from an otherwise excellent product.
I would not use these to workout as I'd be afraid of sweating into them. They are too expensive for that.
The cords bend over your ear, and they could be a bit thinner and more pliable for that. They don't really stay bent well as they should. Just too thick I think.
One thing that really stands out about these, and even the lower end Shure lineup, is they completely seal out ambient noise. Excellent for flying. No need for those big Bose noise cancelling headphones. These do it perfectly.

Comments about Shure SE535 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Metallic Bronze):
They sound good but the bass is thin. I tried several of the sleeves but the result was about the same each time. I could upgrade to the custom made sleeves but would have to spend several hundred more. I don't think so. I'm not positive but I bet the 425's are about the same with regard to sound quality and less money.

Comments about Shure SE535 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Metallic Bronze):
These are the best in-ear headphones I have used. Proper placement in the ears is important for sound quality. They fit somewhat better than the SE 530. They are expensive. The Bose QC 15 is significantly less expensive, but is over the ears and cannot be carried in your pocket. Shure has very good customer service. I have sent previous models in for repair and there is never a problem.
