Shure SE530 Earphones without the PTH

The Shure SE530 Earphones are one of the best universal-fit earphones.

Three miniaturized microdrivers, one tweeter and two woofers, are dedicated to give you an unparalleled auditory experience. These earphones deliver realistic midrange, a silky treble, and full-sounding bass response.

With the Shure SE530 sound isolating earphones you can concentrate on your favorite tracks without any disruption from outside. The Shure SE530 Earphones are an ideal companion to any portable or home audio source. They even allow comfortable listening with high-output sources.

You are guaranteed a comfortable fit with these sound isolating earphones. You have three sizes of the sound isolating sleeves at your disposal for a perfect fit and noise-free hearing.

Use the 9-inch mini-cable extension to keep the music player in your shirt pocket or in a hand strap while exercising.

The premium accessories kit also has a 3-foot extension cable. A carrying case is included with the Shure SE530 in-ear headphones for safe storage. The industrial bronze brushed-metal color scheme of the Shure SE530 Earphones allows them to shine over the rest of the Shure line.

The SE530 uses Triple TruAcoustics MicroSpeakers to create an expansive sound stage. A dedicated tweeter enhances clarity and definition through the mid range and high frequencies, while dedicated dual woofers provide balanced, full-bodied bass.

When you purchase your Shure SE530 earphones from Earphone Solutions you are GUARANTEED for 2 FULL YEARS because we are AUTHORIZED SHURE DEALERS. SE530 earbuds purchased from non-authorized dealers will NOT have their warranties honored by Shure.

The Right Stuff
By alan on April 7, 2009
Comments: Lost my first pair. Looked to see if there was something better for similar price (or more), or something near as good for much less. I could not find anything that seemed better so I purchased these again. Again, I am not disappointed. These fit and sound great. Very well balanced to my ears. Isolation level is just right, allowing me to hear nuance in music in in somewhat noisy environments. Great, natural sounding and comfortable earphones. Period.

SE530 vs UE triple fi 10
By Dan on February 24, 2009
Comments: UE may not have the best build quality and because of that I was interested in the SE530... that is until i listened to them side by side. Test was on an Iriver H340 - yes it still works... through a Total Bithead with the "expander" switch on. I was listening to the Grateful Dead - pristine sound board downloaded at 256kps. Eyes of the World off of Dick's Picks 5-22-77 Pem. Pines, Fla Right off - the SE's high end sounded too bright, almost brassy - it was like a high end slider on an equalizer was all the way up as opposed to flat with all the other frequencies. The next thing I noticed was the bass - it was thumping as opposed to articulate. One of the reasons I so like listening to the Dead is the way Phil works the bass - very subtle and melodic. The SE's did not give you the tone on the notes he was playing - like slurring vs articulation. I just couldn't "see" the bass being played with the SE's. After a few more back and forths between the SE's and the UE's the only other thing I would say is that the UE's put out a much warmer sound, but were still absolutely crisp - you could hear all the nuances. I then listened to some Janos Starker playing Bach solo on a cello - the UE's, for some reason really create a "visualization" with their sound - SEs just don't. The SEs sound good - no doubt, but the UEs sound better. thanks, db

The Sound of Ecstasy
By Steve A. on December 26, 2008
Comments: I own a few 'lower' end earphones from Sony, UE & Shure. When I had the oportunity to choose a high end earphone as a xmas gift I opted for the SE530 based on my experience with comfort and cabling on my set of older E3Cs. I'm glad I did! These earphones, although not fully broken in yet, deliver on all counts when it comes to comfort and sound. Every detail and nuance of 320kbps MP3 files played back on a Zune 80 can be discerned compared to my Super.fi 5 Pro IEMs. I acctually thought I was listening to a different version of the same song when heard through the SE530! These are astounding. The only drawback I've found is the tightness of the foam tips that were pre-installed on the buds. I actually damaged one of the sleeves during removal which took about 30 minutes of twisting and pulling. Shure should either provide slightly looser sleeves or not pre-install any tips on the buds in the package. And according to the great person that ordered this fantastic gift for me the transaction with Earphone Solutions went smoothly and delivery was quick, about 6 days to Canada. So in short, Shure + Earphone Solutions = A winning combination.

Execelent choice

Comments: The best headphones I've ever have, even the price too high, but I received the quality that I am looking for.

Great earbuds
By S Vehmeijer on November 20, 2008
Comments: This is my third pair of shures - I upgraded my set gradually to these SE530's. Sound quality is amazing - the best I have ever heard through earbuds. I wouldn't say they're worth every dollar I paid for them, but I am quite sure this is as good as it gets. There are however more affordable options that give you more bang for the buck.

Outstanding Earphones
By Steve on September 19, 2008
Comments: I was hoping these earphones would provide better sound isolation and comfort as compared to myE4C's. The difference is that and more. The depth of the base, clarity and detail of sound is remarkable. I am very pleased with the foam earpieces and have used them for several hours without soreness. Very satisfied overall.

Great Earphohnes!
By Joel on January 29, 2008
Comments: Excellent full rich and deep sound. Sounds like a $5,000 stereo system in your head. Responds very well to EQ so can be set to just about anyone's personal preferences. Great detail in low/midrange with silky crisp highs. Punchy bass and massive impact but not overpowering. Just very controlled and realistic.

SE530's are the BEST
By Matt on November 11, 2007
Comments: I’ve had these now for about two weeks and absolutely adore them! What can I say that hasn’t been said already other than they sound unbelievably incredible. Punchy bass, flawless midrange, and superb highs. I use these with my iPhone and they work great. Granted, I have to use the adapter made by Belkin, but despite it’s size, it’s not as annoying as I thought it would be. Overall, its money well spent. True 450 bucks is a lot for these, but considering the sound these suckers generate and the listening enjoyment they’ll give you its well worth it. Simply put, they’re so good, it’s like listening to your music all over again for the first time. By the way, I’d like to thank Earphone Solutions for their great website, excellent customer support, and most importantly GREAT PRICES!!!!! I wish there were more companies on the internet like Earphone Solutions. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work guys.

Comments: just got mine from earphone solutions as per my other pair of e4c's ,using iriver h340/triple flange sleeves, these earphones are just amazing, just one warning, rubbish in =rubbish out as they show up poor recordings for what they are, they are that good.

Incredible Earphones
By Joel on July 24, 2007
Comments: The best earphones I've ever heard. Listened to several offerings from Shure, Ultimate Ears, Sennheiser, and M-audio, but these are by far the best. Perfect balance but not flat or boring. Amazing sound signature. Just as soon as you think they are perfectly balanced they come out and sound very vivid and exciting, but they are never harsh. Wonderful no-compromise. Full warmth and balance and yet vivid live and crunchy tones as well. Excellent bass and crisp highs. These things both rumble and sparkle, and sometimes simultaneously. Worth every penny if you're into your music.

Efficiency
By Becket on July 16, 2007
Comments: Amazed by the 530s when compared to the SE310 ans Westone UM2s. I use my 10mW players as a reference to determine efficiency... these SE530s are by far the most efficient IEMs I've ever heard. SQ is amazing at first glance, but they've yet to receive a proper burn-in. The top does seem slightly rolled off, but it may be my EQ settings. Off the bat, they sound better than anything I've owned; E4s, UM2s, Superfi. Amazing!

The Shure SE530 with triple driver rates very high for both sound and comfort. The SE530 does NOT include the PTH (push-to-hear) accessory (it can be purchased for $59). The major difference between the Triple.Fi, UM2 and the SE530 will be personal taste. The SE530 outputs slightly more detail in the mid range; the Triple.Fi outputs the most detail on the high frequency range while the UM2 has stronger bass than both SE530 and Triple.Fi. Overall the SE530 is slightly brighter and the Triple.Fi is the boldest of all three. The UM2 is slightly more balanced (flatter) than the SE530 and Triple.Fi. The UM2 sells for less but both the Triple.Fi and SE530 are triple drivers. The SE530 and the Triple.Fi come with a 2 Year Warranty while the UM2 comes with a 1 Year Warranty. Fit and comfort are very similar between the UM2 and the SE530 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 :)!
