The "Push-to-Hear" accessory is INCLUDED with the SE530PTH. The Push-to-Hear accessory is also available separately!
Many customers are asking us if this price will change. We strongly believe that the SE530-PTH, being a triple driver with the Push-To-Hear accessory included (which also sells separately for $59.00) is a tremendous value at $499.99. If you compare this product with the Shure SCL5 you can draw that conclusion yourself.
Most likely this item will not be discounted at anytime during this year. With this product, the price point was set by Shure to meet the street price and to judge from our increasing waiting list and the raving reviews received at the CES 2006 Show and Mac World 2006, it seems they were dead on. We don't anticipate any discounts on top of the current price.

Key Features:Evolved from personal monitor technology road-tested by pro musicians and fine-tuned by Shure engineers, the SE530PTH 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.
Included sound isolating sleeves block over 90 percent of ambient noise. Combined with a low-profile ergonomic design and modular cable options, interruptions from the outside world are minimized—so you can focus on your passion. And on occasions when you must tear yourself away from the music, the included Push-To-Hear Control activates a VoicePort(TM) microphone, allowing conversation without removing your earphones. Designed for the audiophile, SE530PTH earphones are ideal for a premium listening experience either at home or on the go.
Triple Hi-Definition DriversOptimized for listening to high-quality recordings, as well as lossless formats, the SE530PTH utilizes three hi-definition mini-speakers—one tweeter and two 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 tight low end. This innovative triple driver configuration is first in class for universal fit sound-isolating earphones.
Push-To-Hear Control
A first for sound isolating earphones, the detachable Push-To-Hear Control allows you to activate the VoicePort 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 for maximum intelligibility. Included with the SE530PTH and available as an optional accessory for all Shure E Series models, the PTH control switch is also compatible with other brands of earphones.
Sound Isolating Sleeves
The role of the included sound isolating sleeves is twofold: blocking ambient noise and ensuring customized fit and comfort. Because every ear is different, the Premium Accessories Kit includes three sizes (S, M, L) of the Flex and Clear Flex Sleeves as well as one universal-fit pair of Foam and Triple Flange Sleeves. 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 Options
Based on extensive user feedback, Shure engineers developed a detachable cable solution to enable unmatched personal customization. Two cables—9-inch and 3-foot—are included, allowing you to tailor your experience depending on activity and application.
Premium Accessories Kit
In addition to the sound isolating sleeves and modular cable options, accessories include:
- ¼” Adapter - Offers a solution for home stereos or other applications with ¼" jacks
- Carrying Case - Provides a convenient, tangle-free solution to store your earphones
- Level Attenuator - Allows for comfortable listening from any high-output audio source, such as airplane armrests

Triple Drivers and New
Push-To-Hear" (PTH) Control Create a New Flagship for E Series
Shure Incorporated raises the bar in the CE market with the launch of the SE530 Sound IsolatingTM Earphones, the new flagship for the award-winning E Series product line. Setting a new standard for sound isolating and noise-canceling headphones, the SE530 Earphones are precision-engineered for audiophiles and include an innovative "Push-to-Hear" option that lets you alternate between complete isolation and your connection with the outside world.
What HDTV has done to the experience of watching television, the SE530's Triple Hi-Definition Drivers will do for audio. Utilizing three miniature speakers-one tweeter and two woofers-the SE530 lets you experience precise highs and the richest lows that are true to live performance. Delivered in a tiny "in-ear" package with a sleek and comfortable new bronze metallic design, these earphones represent the ultimate audio experience at home or on the go.
An industry first for sound-isolating earphones, the SE530 is available packaged with Shure's new modular
Push-to-Hear (PTH) accessory. Designed to allow consumers to alternate between complete immersion in their music or a connection with outside ambient sounds, the Push-to-Hear Control activates an external microphone and mutes the music. Perfect for brief conversations at work or when traveling, Shure's PTH is also sold separately and can be used with any sound isolating earphones.
"IDC forecasts that the portable compressed audio (MP3) player market will grow from over 105 million units shipped worldwide in 2005 to nearly 182 million in 2009," said Susan Kevorkian, Program Manager, IDC Consumer Markets: Audio, "The audio accessories best positioned to capitalize on this trend will be those that not only enhance the listening experience, but also complement the inspired design that is a hallmark of the portable MP3 player category."*
Leveraging personal monitor technology previously available only to professional musicians, the SE530 offers the following features and benefits:
Unparalleled Acoustic Accuracy: The SE530 is the first in Shure's earphone line to utilize 3 miniature precision-engineered drivers -- one tweeter and two woofers -- to offer the most accurate audio reproduction for the ultimate in precision highs and the richest lows.
Sound Isolating Design/Personalized Fit and Comfort: Proven more effective than noise-cancellation, Shure's sound isolating earphones block 30-37dB of outside noise with a good seal. Leveraging soft, flexible sleeves that contour to the inside of the ear for the best possible fit and maximum comfort during wear, the SE530 blocks outside noise to prevent it from interfering with the audio experience.
Low-Profile Industrial Design: This is miniature technology at its best with sleek styling, bronze metallic casing, and a unique over-the-ear design to keep cables out of the way.
Premium Accessories Kit: With 8 pair of sleeve options for a personalized fit, the SE530 also offers modular cables for portable and home stereo listening.
