Shure SE535/SE435

[jaibautista]

Fellow HeadPhilers,

Do you think we'll see these IEMs in local stores anytime soon, with demo IEMs available to the public?

It's a pity that stores carrying Shure IEMs have yet to bring in these newest Shure items. Worse, they've stowed the demo IEMs away.

There have been quite a lot of sales of these over at TPC a few months ago.

Seems to be brand new, and genuine, although I've no way to confirm.

I believe one member seems to have bought the SE535. Only for 8k if I recall correctly.

Not sure if that guy made it to this new site.

Sorry, I really can't remember your username whoever you are XD

Wow, only 8k for a pair of SE535's??? 

I hope it isn't the "OEM" type.

Well, it's been a quite a while, and there hasn't seem to be any complaints from the buyer, so I guess OEM or not, it's still able to hold itself together.

And are there even "OEMs" of Shures?

i think so. It's one of the most famous IEMs in public.

I do recall somebody buying a Shure for about the same price, but it's the E500PTH, it was bro reorx(?) IIRC. Don't know if you're referring to him though.

Oh yeah!! You're right!

Although I could've sworn that I also saw an ad at TPC for the SE535.. At the time the E500PTH was sold, there were also other Shure earphones for sale at a very cheap price..

And yeah, it was bro Reorx.

oh yes there are. Many imitations of the E*G's and the SCL2's have already been created, some of them even in TPC.

yeah, most of them coming from the same seller though. there seemed to be a "leakage" of BNIB Shure IEMs that are priced good considering that they are real.

Yup, twas me

Got the e500s for 7k from tpc, and im 100% sure its orig and unused...it was sealed and had complete packaging, with metal box and unused tips and all. Although the box still had the sticker price na 18500, i wonder saan galing yun at bat ang mura. Pero since e500 sha, di pa naiimbento olive tips nun (they come with the 530s, not the e500s) so I had to buy those 5-pair packs sa powermac. I love my olive tips, and compy tips tend to disintegrate on me with a month's (or less) usage.

As for the 535s, head-fi response is very positive, with two of the (alleged) shortcomings of the e500 and se530 being addressed: The fragile cables and the rolled-off highs. Although personally, I dont find the highs of my e500s rolled off at all.

The 535s are quickly approaching FOTM status in head-fi, and Shure is back in the discussions of top tier level universal iems.

I hope Amazon holds a sale for the 530s ala the great 99 usd TF10 blowout which we missed on

Whoa! Congrats bro for that wonderful deal! 

Since you have the e500s, are the cables prone to hardening and cracking? Or are they still going strong?

I have a question about Shure IEMs, but I don't think I really need to create a new thread for it.

Anyway, have any of you guys been able to compare Shure SE31x with the SE53x? I bought SE310s recently. My opinion on them is that they have good mids, but anemic bass. It was listed as having a tuned bass port (?) but imo, there's no sense in fine tuning the bass if it's that weak. I don't really like the overemphasis on the midrange either. Basically, my question is how the bass is on the SE 53x, and do they have a similar sound signature to the 310s?

[potax12]

I'm not really an expert, but I think I can help. The tuned bass port is just a mechanism Shure engineers (if they have any) employ to somewhat "amplify" the bass frequencies of the bass-deficient armatures of their SE series monitors. Much like the bass reflex systems in home high-end speakers.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.


On topic, I want the 535s! The bronze looks sexy, and it matches my skin tone to some extent!

have auditioned the SE530, it has anemic, if I can say malnourished bass.. the mids is really its strength.. though on my preference, I am more on leaning to the mids of TF10.

on your concern, haven't listened to a pair of SE310, but owned E3c before.. SE530 sounds a lot brighter and better than E3C..

shures generally do have anemic bass.  theyre midcentric phones (on which they excel) so theyre suited for specific genres.   i have owned an e500/se530 before and afaik its the shure iem which has the most bass quantity.  having said that, imo theyre my worst purchase ever since i really didnt like its sound sig (too forward with rolled off, unnatural highs).  i even thought they were defective so i had them replaced.  but as always ymmw since they cater for specific music genres which obviously didnt suit mine.
