Expensive, but worth it : Shure SE530PTH Sound Isolating Earphones with Push-To-Hear Control
I have been using a pair of SE530 for 6 month now I here is my opinion:
Fit: I am using plastic sleeves. They fit very comfortably in my ears and I can keep them in for an hour or longer with no discomfort at all. I commute to work on a train and sometimes after I finish listening to the music I do not take them off, just to keep the surrounding noise down. I have used the foam sleeves at first and they are also good but a bit more hassle to put in, though they provided even better sound isolation.
Sound Quality. My previous pair was Shure E2c and the sound quality for this pair is noticeably better. The bass is very clean and tight, powerful but not overwhelming. The midrange is simply amazing. The treble is more pronounced then on e2c but not as crisp as I would like though, it sounds a bit screechy sometimes. (It could also be a music source issue). Overall the sound is excellent, probably as good if not better
sounding than my pair of floorstanding phase technology speakers. I use them mostly with my IRiver H120 player, and with these earphones I almost always keep the equalizer on the normal, flat setting - the sound is so balanced, it needs no adjustment. Also the headphones are very efficient, you don't need to crank up a volume much, I guess your battery will last longer, too.
Build quality. This is the area I am the least satisfied with. I had problem with the cord on my E2c, connection near the plug broke after about 1-1.5 year of use, I have been repairing it a few times by soldering a different (Sony) cord to them. So this time I was careful to buy from the authorized dealer (Amazon, not Electronica Direct) to make sure I have full two year warranty. The original set I ordered from Amazon came defective, one of the earphones had a sound breaking up intermittently, it looked like a cord problem where it enters the earphone. Amazon handled this great, they shipped replacement right away after I called and the second set had no problems. But I will not be surprised if the cord problem happens again. Unfortunately the cord Shure uses with their headphones is quite stiff and there are only a few individual strands in each wire which are relatively thick and not flexible themselves. (I know this as I had to re-solder the wires a few times on E2c). I think this makes it more likely to break and stiff cord is also not comfortable when handling. For comparison, Sony or Senheiser headphones use much more flexible and comfortable cords, I wish Shure used similar ones.
Value: Are they a good value for the money? You have to decide for yourself. For me the money was not a big issue and I wanted the ultimate sound quality. Do they sound 4.5 times better than a $100 pair of E2c? I don't know, and how do you compare the sound quality? It is very subjective. If you are on a budget I would be careful. Try to listen to them before buying if you can, $450 is quite a bit of money. I, personally would likely buy them again. Even if they last only 2 years (warranty period) that would be about $20 a month: i think it is worth for someone like me who uses them almost every day.
Overall: I am giving them 4 stars (I would give 4.5 if I could) because of the cord quality concerns. Otherwise it is a great pair of headphones and if you have money to spend and demand excellent sound quality - they are for you.
