Marshall Mode (2015) vs Shure SE535

The Shure SE535 makes for a mediocre In-Ear Monitor and should be avoided by the majority of people.

In the case of the Marshall Mode (2015), however, we were unable to find enough data to come to any meaningful conclusions.

There are considerably better alternatives that can be found for around $210 and $55 available on the market.

If you're still interested in reading more about the Shure SE535, however, here's a quick summary of what we know about it:

The Shure SE535 managed to earn a spot in roundups from two sources that are known for their trustworthy review methodology - Techradar and Head-fi - but fell short of making it to the top of their lists.

As for the Marshall Mode (2015) - Head-fi, a source that conducts reliable hands-on testing, has featured it in its Marshall Mode In-Ear Headphones, Black/White (4090939) review roundup. However, it didn't make it to any of the top spots.

We examined all of the review data that we could find and first took a look at sources that reviewed both of them, like Head-fi, and found that they haven't shown a preference for either product.

Then we checked which sources liked these two In-Ear Monitors best and found that the Shure SE535 got its highest, 9, review score from reviewers at Techradar, whereas the Marshall Mode (2015) earned its best score of 8.5 from Runnerclick.

Lastly, we averaged out all of the reviews scores that we could find on these two products and compared them to other In-Ear Monitors on the market. We learned that both of them performed far better than most of their competitors - the overall review average earned by In-Ear Monitors being 7.7 out of 10, whereas the Shure SE535 and Marshall Mode (2015) managed averages of 8.5 and 8.2 points, respectively.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Shure SE535 vs. Marshall Mode (2015) comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
