Editorial Review
The Shure SE530 Sound Isolating Earphones marks the bridge from the classic E Series line, to the new line of Sound Isolating Earphones from Shure. Evolved from personal monitor technology road-tested by professional musicians, and fine-tuned by Shure engineers, the SE530 earphones deliver an unparalleled acoustic accuracy rivaled only by live performances.

The Shure SE530 utilize three balanced armature drivers, one dedicated tweeter, and dual woofers, to bring you a listening experience that has been optimized for high-quality recordings and lossless formats. And with integrated passive crossovers that ensure high and low frequencies remain distinct and defined, you get an incredibly wide and detailed sound stage, distinguished by precision highs and robust bass. What's more, the SE530 includes sound isolating sleeves that block over 90-percent of ambient noise and provide a customized fit. Combined with a low-profile ergonomic design and modular cable options, the SE530 helps minimize interruptions from the outside world so you can focus on your musical passion. Not only are these earphones comfortable and audibly engaging, but the innovative triple driver configuration make the SE530 a first-in-class for universal fit, sound isolating earphones.

Shure's SE530 comes with a premium fit kit that includes everything you need to get the most out of your new earphones. Because every ear is different, this kit includes three sizes: small, medium and large of both the flex and the black foam sleeves, as well as a pair of universal-fit triple-flange sleeves. These allow you to experiment with the size and style that creates the best fit for your ears, in order to provide a good seal for optimized sound isolation and bass response, as well as maximum comfort during extended wear. These earphones also come with a detachable cable solution that has been designed based on extensive user feedback to enable unmatched personal customization. The two included modular cables provided give you the option between a three-foot and a nine-foot option, so you can tailor your experience depending on your activity and application.

The SE530 earphones feature a sensitivity of 119 dB SPL/mW, an impedance of 36 ohms, and a frequency range of 18 Hz to 19 kHz. These earphones include a 0.25-inch adapter that allows you to use them with home stereos and other devices with 0.25-inch jacks instead of 3.5-millimeter jacks. The SE530 package also includes a carrying case as a convenient, tangle-free storage solution, and a level attenuator that allows for comfortable listening from any high-output audio source. What's more, they even include an airline adapter that optimizes compatibility with European airplane armrests for overseas travel. The Shure SE530 earphones come with a cable length of 18 inches, and a manufacturer's limited two-year warranty.

What's in the Box
Shure SE530 earphones, sound-isolating sleeves, 1 x 3-foot modular cable, 1 x 9-foot modular cable, 0.25-inch adapter, carrying case, level attenuator, airline adapter, user's guide and warranty information.

3 Star Rating  "Great Sound but same problem with wires"2009-11-19

I love the sound, but I had the exact problem with the wires fraying. For that reason alone I would not recommend buying these headphones.
 
5 Star Rating  "These Are Sweet If You Have the Money"2009-11-12
- Reviewed By User: A1I0QSOQ3FNZL6
I Use these plugged straight to ipod with mp3's ripped at 192 to 256; listening to all kinds of music--mostly rock & techno. These are super-sounding earphones.

If you're making the jump from stock earbuds, these will knock your socks off. If you're upgrading from a good mid-level ear piece/headphones, the differences are more subtle, but real & noticable. Is this difference worth the premium price-tag....that's up to you to decide, but I am pleased making the upgrade.

These things are super refined; music just sounds lush, wet & super smooooooth. Detail & clarity is unmatched; you get all the subtle nuances, sustains & artistry of the performance. Everything is balanced sounding & these work great with all kinds of music. I own/tried several well-respected mid-level FULL sized headphones & these little guys exceed all such full-sizers in sound quality. All the clarity & detail of balanced amature drivers without any of the dryness/coldness.

The included black foam tips are very comfortable & its relatively easy to achieve a good seal with them. However, the ear pieces (hardware) are somewhat large & you will feel it against your ear, especially if you wear it with the wire straight down v. over the ear, as you will need to put the "L" piece into the right ear & vice-versa. Also, note that the medium foams that are on the phones when you get them are almost impossible to get off (one of them ripped in my effort to remove). But rest assured that once off, all the other tips are much easier to work with.

I haven't owned these long enough to experience the infamous wire problem. I'll keep my fingers crossed & in the meantime enjoy the best sounding earphones on the planet.

On a strict price to performance value proposition, these might not be the best choice (Nuforce NE-6 at $40 wins the best "value" category, IMO). But if you're simply looking for the best, period: These are it.

This is my first serious headphones. After 10 hours break in they started to rock!!!!! I never liked to listen to music in my mobile( Google G1). But with SE 530, music from my mobile sounds fantastic. PRAT is very good.I already have MF V-Can headphone AMP. The both sound great together!!!!

- Reviewed By User: ATW0Z57E2G30I
I'm not going to take up alot of space detailing the sound of these when other reviewers have already done that, but if you are looking for a consumer model, universal fit in-ear monitor, do not hesitate to get the SE530. They are fantastic. They make me very happy every day and have been doing so for months. I still look forward to putting them in every day. The only drawback I would say is that they are probably not ideal for the gym -- too big and expensive to sweat on. But if you can afford these, go ahead and buy a pair of Skullcandy Titans or something for the gym at about a tenth of the price.
 
4 Star Rating  "Another Confirmation of Wiring Design Flaw"2009-10-27
- Reviewed By rmh996
After reading Robert C.'s exhaustive and very good narrative of this product over time, I can easily state the same observations. I was a sound engineer for many years and know the difference between okay, good, excellent and incredible sound.

Over the years, when it comes to listening to recorded music, I tend to gravitate to the best engineered and mastered recordings. Having said that, simply owning those type recordings certainly does not mean one can hear the recording properly.

I have found that for the most part, the play back equipment, ie CD, DVD, etc player or even the pre-amp and amp does not matter that much. A person does not physically listen to the electronics or tube amp. What one listens to are the speakers. This is the primary concern that needs to be addressed. Speaker sound and cost go together in a large extent. My rule of thumb is to total the cost of mid-fi to good quality electronics such as the CD DVD, Pre-Amp and Amp. Take that total and if one wants the better sound, spend that amount of money on one speaker and the same on the other. Good sound will come from spending that amount on both speakers.

The exception to this rule are the SE530 Earphones. After trying a number of earphones, the best for the money, IMO, are these. While there are more expensive models on the market, the rate of diminishing returns comes into play. IOW, the very small improvement in sound costs significantly more than the SE530.

The ONLY complaint I have was very well covered by Robert C. The freaking wire design is out of line with the quality of these earphones. I am as flabbergasted as Robert as to why in the world Shure continues to justify using not only this type wire, but also the poor strain relief design. At this point in time, Shure has a strong history of root cause failure from this flawed design. As far as I can find, this issue is the only problem they are seing on failure returns under warrenty.

For those reading this, the wire problem still does NOT rise to the level of not purchasing these earphones. I highly recommend these as best in class for incredible sound. I would estimate one could get about the same quality sound from a pair of regular speakers that would cost around $3000. And the SE530's don't limit you to sitting in one spot to have a listening session.
 
4 Star Rating  "Great for Live In-Ear"2009-10-19
- Reviewed By User: A1OLDJV8NG2PTG
The SE530 are very good. I use them for playing drums in Live performances. My in-ear volume has been reduced to 1/4 from over 1/2 with over ear headsets. The bass response is very clear and as drummer that is important to clearly hear the bass. I had the SE210 but they did not reproduce the lows very well (almost none). I do wish that Shure had a clip for the upper part so I can clip it to the back of my shirt. I ended up making one myself. This is important so the cable does not pull when moving my head while I am playing drums. I love the two cables instead of one. If there are any issue with the lower cable I do not have to replace the whole unit. The lower connector is where most of the abuse will occur. Overall an excellent buy for $263 delivered.
