Added some info on the SM7 microphone JayroRockola 19:35, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Beefed up the article drastically in order to concisely explain that Shure is not just a purveyor of Microphones and Phono Cartridges, but also professional, high-end sound. Also, the company is named after an audiophile named Sidney Shure, who is succeeded by Rose Shure.
--Added information to the earphone section; inserted notes on the E1c, proper use, history, and sound quality rivalry with other companies.
[edit] Battle of the Sleeves
This post applies only to the sleeves that can be used for the E3, E4, and E5.
- Very soft flex sleeves (Grey): Moderate sound isolation/dampening, very powerful sound detail, excellent comfort
- Clear Soft Sleeves: Questionable Sound Detail, best sound isolation/dampening, somewhat uncomfortable to use
- Triple-Flange Sleeves: Most comfortable, not-so-good sound isolation/dampening, somewhat good sound detail
- Foam Sleeves: Beginner-friendly, high learning curve, good sound detail, very powerful sound isolation/dampening

[edit] E500 Clarification
Just now, I realized that some anon edited the article sticking to what Shure claimed on their Consumer Headphone page. I should point out that I had a discussion regarding about the diffrence between the E5 and E500 via E-Mail and here's a comment regarding about the diffrence between the E5 and E500:
The difference between the E5 and the new E500 is that the E5 is a dual driver, where as the E500 is a triple driver. This means, where the E5 has one driver for highs and one for lows, the E500 has one for highs, one for lows and one for mids.
Now here's ANOTHER discussion that you might be interested to hear that I brought up directly to Shure:
The E5 and E500 each have a unique sound. The E500 is warmer then the E5, it seems to have more presence in the midrange. The E5 seems to have a little more detail in the high end. Both earphones do a great job of accurately reproducing sound and it would be very difficult to say one sounds better then the other.
When determining which earphone is right for you it really depends on the application. If you are looking for a pair of in-ear monitors for performance or exercising then the E5 is your solution because it's built very well and very durable and will stay in your ear during physical activity. If you're looking for a pair of earphones to listen to good audio recordings when your traveling, at work or around your home then the E500 is your solution.

Hope this alleviates the reasons why the Shure E500 actually has a tweeter armature, and two dedicated woofer armatures for diffrent note ranges (one woofer for mid-range notes, and one woofer for deep low notes). — Vesther (U * T/R * CTD) 03:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
