I am reviewing the Limited Edition, red version. My office recently moved from a cubicle model to an open office. I do work that at times requires several hours straight of quiet concentration time, so I knew I would need something to allow me to get it. I read reviews on all kinds of noise cancelling and noise isolating headphones and decided that active noise cancellation didn't appeal to me. I wanted something that would sound amazing while helping to block out the sound from my now very nearby coworkers, but from what I read about active noise cancellation, it works best on steady sound like airplane engines and not sporadic sounds like people talking. So I decided to give these a try given that they were well reviewed by several different sites.
These fit the bill perfectly. After trying out all of the different tips, I have settled on the triple flange. I also prefer to wear the cord straight in front...the product literature mentions something about a formable/moldable cable, but I find the cable too unwieldy when worn behind the ears; it just doesn't stay in place well enough for me. Maybe if there was a cable cinch it would work better, but I don't detract for this because now that I've found a way that works for me, I really love these.
I actually have one problem with these though, which is what really spurred me to write this review. I recently decided to spend some time in my living listening to music on my stereo. I use a Marantz receiver powering Klipsch speakers, so it's not a cheap setup, and as I sat there listening, I realized I was missing some of the clarity I get from the Shures. My speakers aren't the latest and greatest, they aren't the reference line, but up until now I always thought they sounded amazing. But these headphones could end up making me want to upgrade my system. I could see this being a dangerous, slippery slope for some folks.
Oh, and as far as any kind of "lack of bass" is concerned (I've seen it mentioned in places) I don't find these lacking at all.

Best earphones, but disappointed that for the high price the in-line volume control doesn't work with Galaxy S7 Edge
These are my third Shure earphones. First purchase was the SE530PTH back in 2010. Upgraded to SE535-CL in 2012. I fly a lot and usually on long flights (10+ hours) and found these to be the best for sound, comfort, and for blocking out all the noise on a plane. I like that they are in-ear and not over the ear like other noise-cancelling headphones. I often fall asleep on a plane while listening to music. I can get comfortable and twist and turn and not have to worry about what position my head is in. I've tried the Bose and Sennheiser earbuds and think the Shure are much better for sound and fit.Shure's customer service is great. Over the past 8 years I've only had a couple of issues. Fortunately, it happened while the earphones were covered by their warranty. Shure replaced earphone assemblies without any hassle. I lost my SE535-CL last week and had to get them replaced before my next trip. I decided to pay $50 more to get the limited edition SE535LTD because they have a slim volume control in the photo on Amazon. The SE530PTH I bought back in 2010 had volume controls, but they were very bulky.The SE535LTD comes with 2 sets of cables. One has the slim in-line volume controls and one with a single button for "Media phones". There's isn't a cable with no controls. First improvement I noticed were with the new cables. They aren't as stiff as the SE535-CL cables and there's a nice bend in the connector (see photo). The bent connector rests comfortably on my ear, and the softer cables go over and behind my ear without having to tug on them. With the previous cables I had to occasionally tug them down to keep them over my ear. It comes with a bunch accessories including different sleeves, an adapter for the 2-pin plugs found on some aircraft, and an analog volume control. I used them for a couple hours with my Galaxy S7 Edge and, as expected, they sound great.That being said, I can only give the SE535LTD 4 stars. I'm annoyed that for the super high price, Shure still doesn't include a cable with in-line volume controls that work with Android phones. One cable has only one button and is meant for placing calls (no volume controls). The other cable with the in-line volume control buttons only work with iPhones. I understand that back in 2010 iPhones had these fancy features and the Android phones didn't. It's 2018 and you can get in-line volume controls with cheap $10 earbuds, but I can't get them in my $500 Shure earphones? The analog volume control Shure provides is clunky and it's on a short "leash" (see photo). I would like to control the volume without having to pull my phone out my backpack or coat pocket. I would give the SE535LTD 5 stars if it wasn't for the lack of a good volume control option.
