KEY FEATURES

The SE530 and SE530PTH mark the bridge from the classic E Series line, to the new line of Sound Isolating Earphones from Shure (SE Models). Evolved from personal monitor technology road-tested by pro musicians and fine-tuned by Shure engineers, the SE530PTH and SE530 earphones deliver unparalleled acoustic accuracy. Triple TruAcoustic MicroSpeakers, one tweeter and dual woofers, deliver an expansive sound stage with full-bodied bass—for an auditory experience rivaled only by live performances.

Triple TruAcoustic MicroSpeakers
Optimized for listening to high-quality recordings and lossless formats, the SE530PTH 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.

Sound Isolating Design
Comfortable sound isolating sleeves block over 90 percent of ambient noise. Combined with the compact design and a modular cable, interruptions from the outside world are minimized, enabling you to focus on your music. On occasions when you must tear yourself away from the music, the Push-To-Hear Control included with the SE530PTH activates a VoicePort(TM) microphone, allowing conversation without removing your earphones. Shure's Sound Isolating Earphones require a proper fit to achieve the best sound.

Push-To-Hear Control (included with SE530PTH)
A first for sound isolating earphones, the detachable Push-To-Hear Control allows you to activate the VoicePortTM 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, ensuring maximum intelligibility. Included with the SE530PTH, it is available as an optional accessory for all Shure Sound Isolating Earphone models, including the SE210, SE310 and SE420.

Premium Fit Kit Includes:

• Sound Isolating Sleeves
  The role of the included sound isolating sleeves is twofold: blocking ambient noise and ensuring a comfortable customized fit. Because every ear is different, the Premium Fit Kit includes three sizes (S, M, L) of the Flex and Foam Sleeves as well as one universal pair of Triple Flange Sleeve. 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.
• Modular Cable
  Based on extensive user feedback, Shure engineers have developed a detachable cable solution to enable unmatched personal customization. An included 3-foot cable allows you to tailor your experience depending on activity and application.
• 1/4" Adapter
  Offers a solution for home stereos or other applications with ¼" jacks.
• Carrying Case
  A durable and compact carrying case is included to provide a convenient, tangle-free solution to store and travel with your earphones.

REVIEWS & AWARDS

"When I crammed these babies (which come complete with a trio of "microspeakers" for each 'bud) into my ears... how shall I put this? Aural nirvana." - - Ben Patterson, Yahoo! Tech

"The Shure SE530 is, hands down, the best in-ear 'phone I've ever paired with a personal portable…the unamplified sound of the Shure was better than that of any other high-aspiration in-ear headphone I've heard to date." - Wes Phillips, Stereophile Magazine

"These things are without a shadow of a doubt the finest pieces of audio technology ever to rattle my tympanic membrane"…."The audio quality is simply stunning, and even at the top of an MP3 player's volume knob, they don't distort. I can't even knock the things for being as expensive as they are: you want the best, you pays the most. And if these aren't the best, they're pretty bloody close to it." - Al Bickham, PC Format
