Product Description
The Shure E500PTH 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. Encased in a low-profile ergonomic design that’s both functional and sleek, the Triple Hi-Definition Drivers deliver unparalleled acoustic accuracy that is free of outside noise. The E500PTH also comes with an industry first for sound isolating earphones, PTH. PTH allows you to activate the VoicePort(tm) microphone and adjust levels of external sound for clarity – enabling conversation without removing your earphones. Shure makes audio equipment - microphones, earphones, mixers, etc. that are used by professional musicians the world over. Shure knows sound. If your music is important to you, you want earphones engineered with the same kind of technology that your favorite divas and bands use to be sure they can hear themselves during a performance. That's Shure's "Sound Isolating" technology. Rather than introducing external elements to block out ambient sound (as noise cancelling earphones do), the Shure system creates a sealed environment that keeps noise out, without covering it up by injecting noise-cancelling artifacts that can interfere with your music. You'll hear details in your music you never heard before. The E500PTH includes an extensive premium accessories kit that offers a variety of fit and cable options that provide unmatched personal customization. The kit includes 1 pair disposable Foam Sleeves, 3 Pairs (S, M, L) of each of the reusable Flex Sleeves and Soft Flex Sleeves, 1 pair reusable Triple Flange Sleeves, 9" and 3 ft. Modular Cable Options, 1/4" adapter, volume control and zippered carrying case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shure E500PTH - Pricey but AMAZING!, July 24, 2006

This review is from: Shure E500PTH Sound Isolating Earphones (Electronics)
I purchased the E500PTH headphones almost on a whim at an airport store in New York's JFK called Altitunes on July 23, 2006. I got them for [$499.00] (even though I thought I could get them cheaper at Amazon.com, I still bought them).

The packaging is impressive -- an aluminum box with all the sleeves, adapters, PTH device, and headphones + cool elliptical shaped case that can fit in your hand. It was very hard to see how these could cost [$499.00] when I opened the box up...until I used them with my iPod Video (5G). I was able to hear a broader range of sound on the same old songs that I listen to all the time. My music was brand new again! I could hear all the different instruments nearly isolated and clear as a bell, guitar rythms I've never really picked out before, guitar pick movements, and yes, recording and artist imperfections. WOW, it was amazing!

How they fit: The fit of these earphones are excellent. The buds are designed to fit snugly in...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ULTIMATE E500 REVIEW - Shure E500PTH vs E4c, November 19, 2006
This review is from: Shure E500PTH Sound Isolating Earphones (Electronics)
These 'phones ROCK!!!!!!

I previously owned a pair of the Shure E4c's --- before that, I went in between Bose QC2's, Bang & Olafson A8's, and Sony MDRNC50's

First off, I prefer my ShureBuds over the Sony MDR, Bang & Olafson A8, and DEFINITELY over the Bose QC2 & QC3 ---- so if you're looking for confirmation that ShureBuds are better than the others mentioned, then you can confirm it with me now - they are

With that said, I'm going to focus this review on a comparison between the E500's vs the E4c's ---- I'll address the other headphones a little more towards the end

I don't use headphones while exercising --- I do a lot of writing, and most of my writing happens on a laptop in coffeeshops and cafes --- thus, I usually wear my headphones while writing, so that I can listen to my tunes and drown out the outside noises ---- I also do a TON of travelling, as I'm taking airplane rides every 2 to 3 weeks, so 'phones are real important...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars How much do you LOVE music?, February 28, 2007
This review is from: Shure E500PTH Sound Isolating Earphones (Electronics)
Well people, you're looking at $500.00 in ear monitors ("IEM"). Either you are rich, or you really, REALLY appreciate high quality audio.
First things first, DO NOT BUY THESE IF YOU LISTEN TO 128 ENCODED MUSIC!!!! I cannot stress enough how "not worth it" these will be if you're going to listen to audio that has been compressed to 1/8 its original size. If you want to listen to 128k stuff (the bitrate music sold on itunes is encoded at) then save yourself $400 and get a pair of $99 IEMs, like the Etymotic ER6, or the Sure E3g. With the entry level IEMs you will notice a HUGE difference over the ear buds that came with your ipod AND, more importantly, you can spend the extra cash on something you will appreciate.
I would not call myself an audiophile, but I spend a disgusting amount of money on audio equipment. I feel I am able to discriminate between what is good and what is crap. These IEMs are top of the line. I've owned the Etymotic ER-4p; I've owned the...Read more
