Can someone please compare directly against Shure SE535?

The UE 900 will have a deeper extension in the bass, and there is much more clarity and sparkle in the highs. The 535s focus more on the midrange and lack in the treble extension, but have good bass extension just not as deep as the UE 900. IMO the UE. 900 is a better all around headphone, but watch the cables on the 900, there was been some quality control issues with cable connectors.

900 has more detail and separation than the Shures. The only problem with the 900 is the "connection" issue. That is why I returned mine.

Hello Will: I have never purchased the SHURE SE535's. I do not consider myself an audiophile in any way. I simply bought the UE 900's because the triple fi 10's sounded so good. But as my post reflected earlier, they do not last. For me personally, I am done buying expensive headphones. I will buy from Amazon but no more than 20 buck or so. That way, if they stop working, I won't be as pissed off. Next purchase will be some kind of Sony product. They tend to last a long time with good sound quality. Sorry I could not help you more. Good luck.

Bohemian Boy is right. I have owned both the UE's and the Shure and I did extensive research on both before purchasing each. I will say the SE535 has slightly better bass. Not to say the UE have lacking bass, the difference is small but enough to notice. The UE have far superior sound quality in terms of highs and midrange. At this level of headphone it really depends on the type of music you listen to. Most claim to be all around listeners, including myself, but I will say that the artist with the most songs on my iPod is metallica if that tells you anything in regards the genre these headphones cater to. I range in anything from classic rock to metal to more modern rock. I have rap/hip hop, classical like beethoven, jazz, blues, dub step, R&B, and pretty much anything else besides country. I believe I have just one song that could even be considered country. I owned the triplefi 10 pro before these and upgraded June of last year and couldn't be happier. I had the Triplefi 10's for over a year and have had these for about 7 months and never had a problem with functionality. For the record though I never had a problem with the Shure's either. I recently sold them though as I prefer the UE and didn't need two pairs of high end headphones. Hope this helps!

I am looking at the same comparison because of Costco.I believe the 550 has SRS (Audio) and the 540 does not. I think this is a big enough difference for $50 and a newer model. However I am sure there are a few other differences.SRS TruSurround HD creates an immersive, feature-rich surround sound experience from two speakers, complete with rich bass, high frequency detail and clear dialog.

2 mics I absolutely hate: Sennheiser 835 (congested), Shure SM58 (muddy). Depending on your vocal range, get a Sennheiser 935, or any Audix OM-2/3/5 ... Shure Betas sound brighter but too "fragile". I personally don't care for any condenser mics because of the way it changes the dynamics of a person's voice. Condensers may be fine for instruments though.

I returned the SE315's because the sound was noticeably clearer in the SE535's.

se846 blows away the se535. The lows are full on the se846 as much as you want. The highs are brighter and smoother. The mids are more accurate and better separation of sounds. Having a good source of music is essential. An iPhone cant cut it. Astell&Kern;, Hifiman or Ibasso have good ones.I owned both se535 and se846 also se425 and se315. The se425 is terrible and the se315 is dull.SE846 is an amazing iem

I have the shure e2cs and they were great at isolation but they were very uncomfortable to wear for long periods, and difficult to get seated correctly. I also have V-moda vibe ii and they are the best i've used. Their bass is far superior to the e2cs but its not overpowering either. I would go for them. However i paid $60 (on amazon) for the shures and $120 for the vmodas.

Mousa, I'm looking at the same thing, and here's what I've found from checking out Onkyo's website. They have all the current models listed with specs, features, pics, and links to authorized vendors (Amazon included). I also recommend cnet's website for third party and customer reviews. http://www.us.onkyo.com/prod_class.cfm?class=Systems Here's a summary of what I found there: The 5300 gets stepped up to the 6300 with up-conversion on the analog inputs plus powered zone 2 (which allows for same or separate audio to be output on two channels to another location), then the 7300 adds some minor speaker upgrades with tallboy front speakers & bass reflex. For $200 more (MSRP), the 9300 gives you THX certification, upgraded optional on-screen interface, a larger subwoofer (12" ^ from 10"), and an extra Composite input, but no longer includes the optional IR iPod dock. I'm leaning toward the 7300 since the cost vs. the 6300 is minimal and the 5300 doesn't up-scale, but haven't made the purchase yet. My local fry's has them in stock and will price match so I plan on trying them out there first.

Coincidentally, my local music store had a headphone testing/"sale"(10%, covered tax lol) over the weekend. I own the anniversary ed and , although i was there to pick up my guitar cabinet, I tried out the white K702, along with other headphones. The amplifier used was a different form factor than my own(they had a solid state and i use tube), but the noticeable differences, regardless, where bass and comfort. the Annies performed better in these areas. There are claims that trebles are also improved, more clear and tight, but i would have needed to hear both headphones in the same setup to have noticed.

I have used these and other Shure's during all kinds of exercise. As long as you don't snag the cord they will be fine. The reason I have se SE425 is because the set I had before, which was the predecessor to these (E4c) got caught up in a rowing machine and the cable was damaged. Now that they have a replaceable cable you don't have to worry about that kind of thing. And if you are worried about sweat, keep in mind these things are built for stage musicians. Experiment and find the right sleeve and you won't have any problems!

I'm not sure that there is a model SE125, perhaps you're thinking of the various SE215 models from Shure? Anyhow, personally, I think you'd be better offwith the Shure in-ears instead of the Creative Aurvana 3's. The Creative's, as I said, are pretty nice for the price, but the Shures will be better. The Aurvana'sdon't sound as good with a sound source such as an MP3. You have to be able to adjust bass and treble levels to get them to sound as good as they can be.I hope that helps. Ron

V-moda is MUCH better. Shure does not have any bass, sound is shifted towards mids and highs.

I've had the X3 and now the X5, no comparison between the two. I have my X5 paired with the Fiio e12 diy, that is the ultimate.

Weak. You should Check the cheaper model (se 215). It Will be so more fun to ear to

Yeah, I also checked the warranty info... as long as it isn't a used eBay item or something you are fine. But actually, the price is much lower on GoSale now. As of writing, you can get the Shure SE530 for $308.00 here:http://www.gosale.com/4932054/shure-se530-sound-isolating ... a very very good deal as I looked around a lot before purchasing.Cheers

You can find the specs on these at Shures web site, but I think the SE 315's run at 27 hertz.
