So this is my first review and please bear with me.
I had the SE535ltd for 6 months now, so I think it's time for me to put on a review. I bought this set as a birthday present for myself and I bought it after a 30 minute session at Jaben with the brown 535. As all knows, Jaben sold it slightly more expensive than street price but I still bought it because they showed me good service and reputation.
I don't have a pair of good ear, right ear got injured before so it's not perfect I assume, and I do not know how to describe a sound like writing novel.
Bass :
The 535ltd do have bass, I don't know what those guys that said 536 got zero bass, you probably have a faulty ear, or a super basshead. But I do have to say the 535's bass is not something like the 846, in fact, far from it. It have the punch, but not slamming in your face. It have subbass, but not ear shattering vibration that you feel. But they are there, just not reaching deep enough and slamming your face.
Mids :
This is the strength of SE535. Velvety smooth mids, lots of details, very interesting vocals. I had the Hifiman RE-400, switching back and forth and I'm always finding myself looking for the 535 for certain genre of songs.
Highs :
Hmm...I can't find the problem of retrieving details and the clarity is good. Just in certain moment, you will feel it's not quite there. But this didn't turn me off.
Rant :
The 535 seems to be having very high sensitivity that it make noise with lots of sources, even my iPhone 5 couldn't escape from hissing. My laptop, my Cayin C5, the DX50 that I sold, all of them make a noise with it, but the staff at Jaben advised me to bring it back for them to check, it might be a problem with my unit.
Mods :
Well, I didn't mod the earphone itself, but just trying with different tips. I've modded a set of Ortofon tips to use with it, IMO it's the best sounding tip but not inserting deep enough. The bass if good and the highs are more pronounced.
I'm a newbie so bear with what I wrote, and it might be totally wrong. Well, I haven't change the cable, hope it will bring the earphone further.
