Formerly known as the E500PTH, the SE530 uses Triple TruAcoustic
Micro-Speakers to create an expansive soundstage. A dedicated tweeter
ensures that highs and mids are incredibly accurate and detailed, while
dedicated dual woofers provide balanced, full-bodied bass. The
Push-To-Hear Control (included with the SE530PTH) adjusts levels of
external sound for maximum intelligibility.
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.
Sound Isolating Design
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.
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 Sound Isolating Earphones require a proper fit to achieve the best sound.
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.
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 customized fit and
comfort. Because every ear is different, the Premium Fit Kit includes
three sizes (S, M, L) of the Flex and Black Foam Sleeves as well as a
pair of universal-fit 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
Based on extensive user feedback, Shure engineers have developed a
detachable cable solution to enable unmatched personal customization.
An included 3-foot cable (91 cm) and 9” cable (23 cm) allows you to
tailor your experience depending on activity and application.
