Absolutely Fantastic   07/27/2008
By Anonymous Reviewer

Pros: Unbeatable sound quality, and very effective isolation. Very neat accessories with microphone for travels.
Cons: Thick cable

"I was looking for the top quality and most versatile headphones which I can use either in the plane or in train without too much attracting attention from other people and finally I found it in Shure Sound-Isolating Ear Bud Headphone E530.
The price is quite steep, but you get what you pay for.
Absolutely fantastic!"

Studio Quality Sound   07/22/2008
By ewohwerd from New Orleans, LA

Pros: Incredible fidelity-Smooth, detailed sound. Isolation works
Cons: Fit can be tight, inserting and removing the buds takes a while

"These are easily some of the best headphones I've listened to-- at any size or price. The sound they produce is accurate (response is even across the hearing spectrum), detailed (you will hear more than you have before) and without flaws.
The sound isolation (especially the foam inserts) works great-- it makes a low listening volume possible in airplanes. The isolation is good enough that I've been able to mix live concerts using the headphones as my reference headphones.
If there is any downside, it's that the tight fit of the buds means you won't be able to engage in conversation immediately, and getting back into your music or movie after a distraction will take a while as you refit the plugs. Shure's Push-To-Hear technology is worth the extra money if you anticipate switching in and out of using the headphones rapidly."

UPDATE: SHURE vs. SONY   06/19/2008
By shures4life from Los Angeles, CA

Pros: * SOUND! SOUND! SOUND!! So balanced, clear, defined. Plus they isolate without hi volume
Cons: * Price, Price, Price

"Ok...so i've been using these SE530's for about a year now and i started to think maybe I was too quick to give these a 10. Plus, they are the only earphones I've owned for awhile, so i was feeling like a huge poser for working out in $500 earphones. So I bought a pair of "Hi-End" Sony's, exclusively for the gym. The Sony's seemed so full of potential...soft pliable earclips, in-ear buds w/ 3 silicone sleeve sizes, water (sweat) resistant, etc. Yet it took all of 5 minutes for me to realize how wrong i had been to second guess the 530's. Yeah, I found the right size sleeves on the Sony, but they still sounded awful in comparison. Highs were painfully tinny, and Lows were sloppy and lacking. Yes I know threre's about a $400 difference in price here, and trust me, I too would rather pay even $200 for the Shures so i dont feel stupid if I ruin them with sweat (FYI - Shure replaces them free for 2 years under warranty!). Its just too bad that once you try these (finding the right fit is a must!) it will be darn near impossible to go back to anything else. Whether you're on a plane, on a treadmill, or at starbucks...Shure's comfortably deliver, without resorting to excessive volume. Just try a pair."

Best earphone   02/16/2008
By andytama from philadelphia,PA

"Optimized for listening to high-quality recordings and lossless formats, utilizes three balanced armature drivers—one dedicated tweeter and dual woofers. Additionally, 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 robust bass. This innovative triple driver configuration is first in class for universal fit, sound isolating earphones"

High quality listening   10/10/2007
By mudrummer99 from Oxford, OH

Pros: great sound quality/purity, outside noise blocked very well, great bass from earbuds
Cons: pricey

"ive had these headphones for about 4 months now, i haven't come across a piece of music that they don't perform well with. from rap to classic rock to country to pop to classical, they are a great pair of headphones for someone who values sound quality. i travel a lot and these block the sound from airplane engines very well, i can have the volume turned to a minimum and still cannot hear the plane at all. these would be great for anyone who can afford the few extra bucks for them."
