Shure SE530 Sound Isolating Earphones

CNET editors' rating:

Excellent
THE GOOD
The Shure SE530 headphones offer exceptional clarity; deep, tight bass; rich, enveloping sound; and great noise isolation. They are also comfortable and include some useful extras such as an in-line volume control and an airplane adapter.
THE BAD
The Shure SE530s are expensive, and the earbuds are on the large side.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Travel-happy audiophiles will be infinitely pleased with the Shure SE530s, but these earbuds should also be a consideration for anyone who has half a grand to drop on some sweet headphones.
