ExtremeTech has posted a review of the Shure E500PTH Sound Isolating Earphones here on their website. We first mentioned these earphones back in September and mentiond that the sound isolating sleeves on the earphones are supposed to block over 90 percent of ambient noise. These super expensive ($499 list) sound isolating earphones are for those who want the very best in portable audio gear. Features of the E500PTH include:

  • Sound Isolating Design
  • Triple Hi-Definition Drivers – one tweeter and two woofers
  • Push-To-Hear Control

Here’s the verdict:

It’s a really nifty and truly unique feature. Is it worth the steep price tag? Not on its own it’s not, but with a new three-driver design, the E500PTH also delivers the best sounds we’ve ever heard out of a pair of earphones.
