Introduction   The SE530s are at the high end of Shure's in-ear options. Like other Shure in-ears, the SE530s come with a variety of extras, such as eight different sets of sleeves, an optional volume control, and an optional remote and mic. The S530s have a modular cord, meaning it's a bit under a foot and a half long. This is ideal for connecting to a media player in an arm band. The headphones also come with an extension cord that makes them a typical length for a set of in-ears. Although the Shure SE530s are at the top of the line, they aren't all that different from the next model down, the SE420s. While the SE530s come with a few more extras, they have an equivalent sound quality. The Shure SE530s are currently available for about $300.     Page 1 of 12 Tour & Design   Section   The Good The Bad Tour & Design • Durable. • Plain-looking.
