I'm actually in dilemma of choosing between Shure Se535 and Westone 4. I'm fulfilling my dream to be an audiophile, and would like you people(audiophile) to guide me and suggest me good in-ear earphones beside this two so I could have wider range of choice.

Using iPod touch 4G currently and been using the stock earphone for 1 year plus. Thinking to upgrade.

Jaben available for audition or not for this 2?

No offence but getting or owning good gears alone does not define you an audiophile. Start by learning how to listen, and then pairing.

Not sure how did you came to be in dilemma without listening to them first? Yes Jaben does have both for audition and imo both are different signature. Budget and your listening taste is the one helping you to decide.

Since you stated SE535 and W4, some choices around them are Phonak Audeo PFE232, Earsonic SM3v2, Ortofon EQ7. And of course all imo all in different temperature.

Exactly !! I'm in dilemma as i'm not sure if its available for audition, not gonna spent twice to pick the right one at this moment as my budget only allow me to choose one pair. Thanks for your suggestion on that few which i would definitely try it out before making my final decision, great help indeed biggrin.gif

Yup, for the above two questions, we also have higher ends like Final Audio FI-SS? Customs? They sounds magnificent on vocals.

like that.. you are looking for water fish jer...

it'll be better that you have ommited the "i didn't buy it" in the first place...
mess with him you did...
agree with the guys... go and audition it first... you might read that the 2 sounds almost similar based on reviews... but with my ears, i felt the 535 is a bit more neutral warmish sort of feeling while the westone 4 is more analytical sounding... but then, it depends on your source as well as you will need to pair them up... the UM series might sound a bit more closer to the 535 in my opinion...

it depends on which you prefer at the end of the day...

spec wise, the 535 is a triple driver while the W4 is a quad driver...both 3-way crossovers i believe...

price wise, i believe the 535 is a couple hundred cheaper than the westone 4 with removable cable...it's quite a big upgrade for apple stock earphone  brows.gif get the removable cable version for westone in case you itchy to get some upgrade cables later on...  westone 4 also comes with a 1010 sized pelican case too  brows.gif
the usual, the dilemma most probably came from reading online reviews...haha
poison you meant?

Haha.. u're right. I've been reading online reviews to gain the technical information. Ur poison oso not bad huh~ Haha..

Let me make a visit to jaben this weekend and test them out with 1 or 2 of my favourite songs biggrin.gif
