I recently ran across some amazing deals on websites like wish.com and fastech.com. I'm not trying to sell anything here nor in anyway affiliated. I found some Shure 535 earphones for less than $45 on Wish.com. I was trying to replace my Shure headphones stolen recently from my vehicle. They normally run around $500. I was limited to red as that's the only color left but thought I'd pass the deal on to everyone here. There is also a deal on some B&O headphones on the same website.

That was my concern as well. In fact, I worried they were going to be copies. I was pleased to find these headphones and the and the B&O's are not copies or knock offs. I already had a set of the B&O's to compare with and happy they were not.

You apparently lucked out, as the 535s are currently going for $460.

I use the app so not sure if it will work or not but here is a link. https://www.wish.com/m/c/591954379009d727ba76f71a I've been very lucky. These are better than the E2C and E4C models I previously owned. My guess is these are Asian market real deals.

I found the price kept going up the deeper into the buying process I went. Not bad, but unsettling. I ordered the 535 for $66 total, roughly 13% of retail. I hope they are real!This message has been edited. Last edited by: 4MUL8R,

They sound as described, more solid bass rather than rich bass. These have two bass woofer elements and one treble tweeter element and you can tell. They have a great spacial sound and often I'm able to identify locations. Although they are more bass heavy than past models, i wouldn't characterize them as hip hop or rap directed but give bass more of a lift than my previous E4C's. The fit is much better and the cord is shaped to keep the buds in your ears. This is the first time I've been able to mow grass while listening without constantly pushing them back into the ear canal. It comes with a similar hard case as previous model but more elongated. It comes with 4 different sets of canal cushions if I remember correctly along with the dongle allowing volume adjustment on the dongle and another adapter that I'm not familiar with. I've been trying to find something wrong with these and have not yet found a gripe. These are a definite upgrade from my previous models.

I used PayPal as well. I was the same way and gave it a shot after previous orders from them turned out to be the real deal. I bought my first couple of sets of Shures at Best Buy or Circuit City years back and remember the packaging. I can take pictures of the packaging and it phones if anyone would like to see them shoot me an email. I haven't replaced my photosuckit account with something else yet so email would be best for photos. I also have the B&O headphones but no longer have the packaging for that.

Just an update... mine came a couple of days ago, they look legitimate best as I can tell. They sound really good. I use one of those Dragonfly DAC thingies also. I know allot about this kinda stuff if it's not obvious. Anyway, glad I got them!
