Noise Canceling Earbuds

Shure – just in case you don’t know, this is one company that has been chosen by one of the world’s most popular review sites – CNET, as their electronics brand and manufacturer for audio and video testing. And rightly so!

Shure’s noise canceling ear buds – the E4c, immediately became one of the top favorites when it comes to head phones for MP3 players. The whole E series is impressive, and it’s NOT very surprising that the company didn’t move far from this blue print when they created a brand new sound and noise canceling line up of head phones – the SE series.

One that impressed me the most from this line up of Shure noise canceling earbuds is the SE530 – a $500 pair of head phones which is impressive like its predecessor which is the Shure E500PTH noise canceling ear buds.

A Quick Look
Very little about the Shure SE530 noise canceling ear buds would inspire complaint. HOWEVER, there is one thing I am not very keen about when it comes to these ear buds – they are rather large and they would stick out of your ear a bit. But that is insignificant when you realize that such size for ear buds are necessary for the 3 drivers – every bud comes with the Triple Acoustic Micro Speaker. Each of these comes with 2 woofers as well as a tweeter.

True, the ear buds could protrude from your ears, you shouldn’t have any problems getting the correct and sealed fit. Along with that, Shure comes with different ear tips – it comes with 3 different sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) for the silicone sleeves, a set of triple flange fittings, and last BUT not the least (this is my favorite by the way) – it comes with black and molded foam tips that also comes in different sizes.

Stellar Sound Quality
With a price of $500, the real meat of the Shure SE530 noise canceling ear buds comes down to the sound quality it delivers. And guess what – it lived up to the expectations. The sound quality is stellar and makes every penny of the lofty price point worth it. Matter of fact, when I’m listening to my favorite songs to it, I would have to fight off the urge to desk dance!

The sound from Shure SE530 is fantastic – PERIOD! For those of you who are thinking what is it that the Shure SE530 has, get this – it comes with buds that deliver excellent passive noise isolation power. The better fit you get with the ear buds, the better sound quality you will get. And with myriads of fittings available for different ear sizes, this shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Moreover, the seal of the ear buds also offer deep as well as tight bass response – it envelopes your ear without being too overwhelming. Not to mention there is no distortion. The high notes are amazingly sparkling, the music (every note and every beat) are delivered with unbelievable quality. I could spend thousands of words describing how great my personal listening sessions are with the Shure SE530 noise canceling ear buds, BUT it won’t be enough.

While it’s true that it cannot deliver the sound you would get from full sized headphones or external speakers. BUT if you are looking for the next big thing without wrapping your face with huge head phones, then the Shure SE530 noise canceling ear buds are yours for the taking!
