Shure has released the E500PTH Sound Isolating Earphones, which utilize three miniature speakers—one tweeter and two woofers—in an in-ear package.
The E500PTH ships with the PTH control, which lets listeners alternate between “complete immersion in their music” or audio activity and a connection with outside ambient sounds, according to the folks at Shure. The sound isolating earphones block 30-37dB of outside noise with a good seal, the company adds. The E500PTH comes with soft, flexible sleeves that contour to the inside of the ear.
With eight pair of sleeve options for a personalized fit, the E500 also offers two modular cables, a 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch adapter for home stereo listening, a volume attenuator for airplane use, and a zippered carrying case. Priced at US$499, the E500PTH carries a two-year limited warranty.
Shure’s PTH accessory will also be sold separately for $59 and is compatible with Shure’s E500 or any other standard earphone.
