Shure SE535-CL Reviews

Shure is another level

Earphones are on another level with sound. Noise Isolation like never before. Only downside is short cable for djs. Overall highly recomended.

I wanted in-ears for drums and bass , so I went with these because of extra drivers. The sound is excellent, both home and on stage, and noise isolation is perfect with included plugs. I really can't complain here.

Justifying the high price point

When you find the suitable earphone tips, they are comfortable, sound is good, and the noise isolation is exceptional. I always have replacement tips and cable just in case, but haven't needed them yet, and they were used 3-4 times a week for almost 6 months now.

What is all the fuss about?

As with ALL in ear buds, it takes quite a while to make them fit. These are no exception. A reasonable array of different sized 'sponges' in various materials is provided but there is probably only one that will actually fit. Not sure what you do if and when they wear out or get lost.

The sound quality is well balanced and comfortable. There is no obvious leaning towards mid or high frequencies and the bass is neither weak nor over-cooked. i have several other IEM's, from Shure and Sennheiser and these are certainly the most truthful sounding.

Great sound with a fantastic isolation for a good price

I wanted the maximum isolation for hearing protection in the rehearsal room and on stage without giving up on the sound quality. The SE535 fulfills all the requirements with an incredible damping and a flat response in all frequencies.

Of course this is not a molded in-ears, which means that the setup and behavior of the cables around the ear can sometimes be a bit tricky, but the price point justifies the small inconvenience (and it still holds a resale value!)

Awesome for the price

Bought as wasn't quite willing to commit to custom moulds and served me well through two years of intensive international touring. Have since upgraded to custom moulds but more than happy to have these as a backup. Isolation is top notch, comfortable for long periods on sweaty stages and sound great.

After three years of use, one of the headphones burst (became leaking). The only solution - buying a new one. Changing the housing, gluing did not help.

Great product

Don't expect heavy bass sound. Not at all. It's more linear, than bass dominant. Natural and pleasant sounding headphones. More clarity in the upper mids and highs that the SE 212 and SE 315, and that's the main difference.

Great in ear-headphones a standar in my opinion!

Great sound quite balanced! They are very robust, I've been using them for a year and they are working fine!

AMAZING sound... excellent quality for In-Ears

I have used many in-Ears headsets... and apart from the BIG PRICE brands these are by far the best I have come across.

Excellent IEMs!

Having used these live, I just cannot fault them.

Clarity of sound, no real colouration or enhanced boost - just very transparent - just as they should be!

I use these IEMs with my live band, both in a super-noisy rock settings as well as a less-noisy function band settings and they're great. I bought the 535's after my knockoff Chinese 6-driver IEMs died a little over a year down the road. These 3-driver monitors sound just as clear and loud and I know that I have a warranty for these and I will be able to repair them with confidence.

I took a star off for noise cancelling as this is of course not as perfect, as it would be with molded earpieces and another star off due to my ears actually getting a little tired of the earphones.

SE535

This earings is the best item if you looking ''u pay-u get'' !!

not the best for personal monitoring, isolation is very good, but some freqs u cant eliminate with any pair of earings, but still best thing u can get for money like this! Item is in great condition, also get all of extentions so u can fit it as your ear want! its very professional and if u are not Sting or some kind of Beyonce i think u dont even need better then this, production is just great! ;)

Good ones

Good earphones in overall.

If you had experience with something like Westone's

IEMs, you might find Shure's are a little uncomfortable (just not so ergonomic, but if you do not use them 24/7 they are bearable, and later you will get use to them any way), But Westone's are not so reliable.

Shure's are much better.

Sound is good as well, however not very linear.

Sensitive highs, powerful and clear lows. Many people notice, that mids are a little too loud. You must use EQ for music listening.

They can be good for voice monitoring, I think, but this is just my supposition.

However they provide better sound isolation, than Westone's, and they sits better

in the ear channels, even when you use the same ear tips (yes - Westone's and

Shure's SEx35 can be used with the same SHURE PA 910 ear tips)

I must notice, that, if you use them 24/7, then the moist from your ears will start

to accumulate inside the earphones, then there will be a drops of water, and the water

can cause some cooper surfaces to corrode, thus causing damage to the circuits and

cable's sockets from inside - this is not fixable, and cleaning the sockets will not help. NEVER use them 24/7. However, that is not very pleasant anyway, because your year channels will start to itch after like 8 hours of usage )).

In overall - very good quality and performance/price rate.

The only better IEMs are probably 4-drivers Shure IEMs (it is quite a new model), and custom Ultimate Eears IEMs, but their prices are beyond my

pocket size )).

First impression: if you put them on, you will never want to take them off :).

Great sound but not robust enough

I have previously owned the Shure SE-215's and found that for the price they were very good. I wanted to upgrade and researched a fair bit until I stumbled across the Shure SE-535's and decided they were the ones for me.

Within a week of receiving the 535's I had to send them back for repair as the driver on the left side had blown. I was frustrated but thought it would be a once off and I wouldn't have any more trouble. Fast forward to July and the same thing happens again, this time it's the right side driver. I'm very careful with my equipment and have never had anything else break but these in-ears aren't built to withstand thew rigours of live performance. The slightest drop of sweat gets into near the speaker and they'll blow. It's unfortunate as they are such a solid piece of kit aside from this one flaw.

5 stars no doubt

If you never used in-ear, which I had not until I got these, you should realy try it out.

I will never go back to a monitor.

I use these mainly with an e-drum kit and find it works great.

One big reason for trying in-ear to start with, is that in one band I play all songs to a click track and have to use headphones. They just don´t look alright on stage and a lot don´t cancel noise well enough. You will not have any problems with that with these. Like regular industrial ear plugs these make you not hear what other people are saying but you also talk VERY LOAD :)

The sound is great, for being a small unit. Of course bass is not gonna be at par with a nice set of headphones but there´s definitly enough for a pleasant sound.

I can turn down the volume a lot because the noice cancellation is so good. So not as much ringing in my ears at the end of the gig, which to me is one of the biggest advantages with in-ear.

I was worried that I would have a hard time getting a proper fit, and at the first and second gig I was struggling a bit. But after a few tries they sit perfect and don´t move at all. There´s a lot of different "ear pieces" in both rubber, foam and plastic and many sizes.

So all in all this is one of favorite piece of kit.

Shure SE535, the travellers best friend.

I use the Shure SE535 for research and development in spatial audio (3D audio). They are very good for this purpose and produce a close to perfect impulse response.

For those looking to use for daily commuting, they do take some time to put in, compared to apples new ear buds. But once in, the background noise goes away and all you are left with is the music.

When flying, they are also very good, it does a good job at removing the background noise from the aircraft cabin. They also sit flush with the ear, so that when you rest your head on a pillow, they do not cause any discomfort.

The SE535 loses one star on quality because the headphone cable became faulty at the plug end after 6 months, I believe this is a common problem, according to forums. This was replaced under warranty, I have not had any problems since.

Perfect Sound but Cables were better in previous version

This is 3rd 535's I have and I was always happy with the sound quality. this newer version release did not disappoint me in a slightest. Sound is excellent as expected for the price tag.

Cables are slightly less user friendly than before. Although I like rotating connector to the earpiece but rest of the cable is not as soft or easy to manage. For this reason I bought the alternative with mic for phone calls but about it in the other review.(CBL-M),

Amazing product, can't recommend them enough!

Simply put, these are the best investment I've ever made to my live sound. As a drummer, I need optimum ear protection. These give me that. I need a great monitoring sound and these certainly give me that too. The isolation is great so there's no spillage and what you want to hear in your monitor mix is exactly what you will get. Sound quality is simply amazing, especially how it handles bass frequencies. No need to waste money on moulds, theres enough in the pack to give you a comfortable fit. Worth every cent, almost can't do a gig without them!
