Not only do Shure's SE535-V+BT1 wireless sound-isolating in-ear headphones sound great, but they're also incredibly adaptable.

As a refresh of the older SE530, the new SE535 features a sturdier detachable cable and a smaller earphone enclosure for a better fit. We check out to see if SE530 owners should upgrade.

The Shure SE535 deliver luxurious performance at a starting price of $449. Adding the optional RMCE-BT2 module delivers Bluetooth 5 and aptX HD support for 24-bit audio, but adds another $149 to your bill of sale.
