Let’s not beat around the bush: $400 is, for most of us, an insane amount of money to spend on a pair of Bluetooth earphones. For that price, they’d best sound significantly better than anything else you’ve ever jammed into your skull, excluding earbuds that cost $1,000 or more.
Shure’s SE535 earphones meet this qualification with moxie. Yet their exceptional audio isn’t the only reason why I recommend them: Their clever modular design and Shure’s reputation for exceptional customer service also render the SE535s practically damage- and future-proof. They may cost more than some new iPads, but their winning combination of wonderful sound reproduction, repairability, and adaptability make them an outstanding investment.
