The good:

  • Exceptional sound quality with a three-driver design
  • Comfortable and do a great job of passively blocking out noise
  • Includes push-to-hear control
  • Multiple ear adaptors and a nice set of accessories

The bad:

  • Pricey but a solid investment
  • Switch on push-to-hear controller feels cheap

The bottomline:

If you're the type who prefers uncompressed or lossless formats, require low-profile headphones, and don't mind investing in high-end headphones, the Shure E500PTH should be on your short list.
