When you purchase your Shure SE530-PTH earphones from EarphoneSolutions you are GUARANTEED for 2 FULL YEARS because we are AUTHORIZED SHURE DEALERS. SE530-PTH earbuds purchased from non-authorized dealers (including Amazon Resellers and eBay resellers) will NOT have their warranties honored by Shure.

Let’s face it, if you’re considering spending around 500 bucks on a pair of earphones you’re someone who’s obsessive about their music. You’re the hard to please type not easily impressed by anything less than seriously impressive. Well, be assured that these tiny miracles of science are indeed impressive, seriously.

The most notable feature of the Shure SE530s is their ability to convey a multi-layered sound stage with absolute precision. Music you’ve heard over and over again takes on new life with an incredible sense of clarity that is always lucid and rich and never confused or entangled no matter what you throw at them. Where they really shine, though, is with lossless or uncompressed digital recordings or mp3s with a high compression rate. With recordings of this quality, the ‘530s are adept at producing an extraordinary dynamic range with a sense of magnificence that you didn’t know your ears were capable of decoding. For example, the expertly mastered “Teardrop” by Massive Attack was delivered with insanely crisp and clear highs, a deep, solid bass and with the placement of Liz Fraser’s spine-chilling vocals with meticulous precision. My much older reference track, “Golden Brown” by The Stranglers, was delivered with an equally exciting presentation whilst remaining true to the fidelity of the original recording.

Sparknotes.com describes an epiphany as “a sudden, powerful, and often spiritual or life changing realization that a character experiences in an otherwise ordinary moment.” That’s what happened to me when I listened to The Beloved’s “The Sun Rising” on my ‘530s.

For those new to “shove-right-into-the-ear-canal” type earphones the ‘530s may take a few goes at experimenting with the different types and sizes of sleeves supplied in order to achieve the perfect fit necessary for them to perform (no seal = no bass). But once you’ve found your “sweet-spot” you might just find yourself ignoring everybody you know for the foreseeable future or taking your dog out for a walk several hours a day more than he’s used to.

Shure SE530-PTH Triple Driver Earphones with Push-To-Hear Accessory Included

SE530 Triple Hi-Definition Drivers

Ergonomic and lightweight sound isolating earphones offer the most accurate audio reproduction from both portable and home stereo audio sources—for the ultimate in precision highs and rich low end.

Shure SE530 Overview:
  • Sound Isolating Design
  • Speaker Type: Triple Hi-Definition Drivers
  • Ergonomic and Lightweight
  • Included Push-To-Hear (PTH) Control
Key Features:

The Shure SE530PTH earphones evolved from personal monitor technology road-tested by pro musicians and fine-tuned by Shure engineers, the Shure SE530PTH offers unparalleled acoustic accuracy. Triple Hi-Definition Drivers—one tweeter and two woofers—deliver precision highs and the richest lows, for an auditory experience rivaled only by live performances. Included sound isolating sleeves block over 90 percent of ambient noise. Combined with a low-profile ergonomic design and modular cable options, interruptions from the outside world are minimized—so you can focus on your passion. And on occasions when you must tear yourself away from the music, the included Push-To-Hear Control activates a VoicePort(TM) microphone, allowing conversation without removing your earphones. Designed for the audiophile, the Shure SE530PTH earphones are ideal for a premium listening experience either at home or on the go.

SE530 Triple Hi-Definition Drivers

Optimized for listening to high-quality recordings, as well as lossless formats, the SE530PTH utilizes three hi-definition mini-speakers—one tweeter and two woofers. Additionally, the Shure SE530 earphones have integrated passive crossovers ensure that high and low frequencies remain distinct and defined. The result is an incredibly wide and detailed soundstage, distinguished by precision highs and tight low end. This innovative triple driver configuration is first in class for universal fit sound-isolating earphones.

SE530 Push-To-Hear Control

A first for sound isolating earphones, the detachable Push-To-Hear Control allows you to activate the VoicePort microphone and adjust levels of external sound for clarity—ideal for brief conversations without removing your earphones. The switch allows you to conveniently alternate between your music and your connection to the outside world. Similar to the microphones used in Shure QuietSpot® cellular headsets, the VoicePort microphone is tuned to pick up the human voice for maximum intelligibility. Included with the SE530PTH and available as an optional accessory for all Shure E Series models, the PTH control switch is also compatible with other brands of earphones.

Shure SE530 Sound Isolating Sleeves

The role of the included sound isolating sleeves is twofold: blocking ambient noise and ensuring customized fit and comfort. Because every ear is different, the Premium Accessories Kit includes three sizes (S, M, L) of the Flex and Clear Flex Sleeves as well as one universal-fit pair of Foam and Triple Flange Sleeves. Experiment with the size and style that creates the best fit for you—a good seal is key to optimizing sound isolation and bass response as well as maximizing comfort during extended wear.

SE530 Modular Cable Options

Based on extensive user feedback, Shure engineers developed a detachable cable solution to enable unmatched personal customization. Two cables—9-inch and 3-foot—are included, allowing you to tailor your experience depending on activity and application.

SE530 Premium Accessories Kit

In addition to the sound isolating sleeves and modular cable options, your Shure SE530-PTH earphones include the following accessories:
  • ¼” Adapter - Offers a solution for home stereos or other applications with ¼" jacks
  • Carrying Case - Provides a convenient, tangle-free solution to store your earphones
  • Level Attenuator - Allows for comfortable listening from any high-output audio source, such as airplane armrests
Customer Review of the Shure SE530-PTH Headphones
    "I have been a music performer for over 20 years and when it comes to sound quality I consider myself VERY hard to please and extremely picky. I have been searching for a good pair of in ear earphones for some time now... I own the Shure e4c’s, Bose Tri-point IE’s, and the Ultimate Ears Super Fi.5 Pro’s, and these are BY FAR the best earphones I have ever used. The sound quality is incredible.. crisp highs but never harsh, excellent mids but not overpowering, and smooth, rich bass that is never distorted or muddy. Do not however make the mistake of thinking these headphones are bass-shy (like many of the Shure’s are known for).. Put on a little Tribe Called Quest or Outkast and these things will rock your skull!! Kudos to the guys at EarphonesSolutions.com in constructing such and informative and accessible site and making the purchase process seamless and extremely pleasant. If you are seeking the ultimate experience in in-ear headphone sound quality look no further than the Shure SE530’s, and whatever you do I urge you... let the guys at Earphones Solutions take as good care of you as they did me. Cheers!

    The new Shure SE530-PTH with triple driver comes in first place for sound and comfort. The SE530-PTH includes the PTH (push-to-hear) accessory. The major difference between the Triple.Fi, UM2 and the SE530-PTH will be personal taste. The SE530-PTH outputs slightly more detail in the mid range; the Triple.Fi outputs the most detail on the high frequency range (sometimes too much) while the UM2 has stronger bass than both SE530 and Triple.Fi. Overall the SE530-PTH is slightly brighter. The UM2 is slightly more balanced (flatter) than the SE530 and the Triple.Fi. The UM2 sells for less but both the Triple.Fi and SE530PTH are triple drivers. The SE530-PTH includes the PTH (push-to-hear) accessory and it comes with a 2 Year Warranty while the Triple.Fi and UM2 do not include the PTH (you can purchase it for $59) but come with a 2 Year Warranty as well. Fit and comfort are very similar between the UM2 and the SE530-PTH and not so great with the Triple.Fi for those customers that want a flush fit.
    Those who can afford will experience the greatest detail on mids and highs. If that is what your music needs (or if that is what you like best) the SE530 will deliver! Also excellent choice for isolation and comfort. Great for working out and flying first class :)!
