5) Shure SE535 – $499, 00
Shure SE535 is priced at $499, 00 which brings us to number 5 on our most expensive earbuds.
The Shure SE535 earphones sit firmly in the category of those that sound good. They might not look so good, but they do sound awfully fantastic.
If you’re looking for some iPod-replacement earphones these probably aren’t for you. They’re bulky and can be a tad fiddly to put in your ears.
But if you’re someone who appreciates well-rounded, natural-sounding high-bitrate music, these earphones are brilliant and perfect for you.
They need to be because each one contains three separate drivers – two woofers and a tweeter in each one. This makes music played through the SE535’s shimmer with crystal clarity.
The highs are crisp and clean, the bass is deep and silky smooth, while the oft-forgotten midrange is full-blooded, meaty and wholesome.
