"Couldn't Sound Better!"
Pros: Fabulous sound, very comfortable!
Cons: PTH device is a bit big and cheap feeling. Battery keeps falling out.
Summary: I started with Shure E3c's. I discovered sounds coming from my iPod and other devices I never had heard before. I moved up to E5c's and again even more came through.
The E500PTH has actually imporoved on the audio. Also, they are more ergonomic. I have worn them for 18 hours non-stop and they are very, very, comfortable. They are actually more comfortable than the custom ear pieces I formerly used.
The PTH device is a bit cheap-feeling. Also, the battery cover is of a poor design and I have now lost 3 AAA batteries!
Moreover, although the PTH is great for listening to conversations, the music does not pause automatically. Thus, if listening to a book for example, one loses one's place. However, the PTH, while clever, is not really integral to the headphones. Thus, I use it rarely and could care less.
All in all, these are the greatest. Even better than my Sennheiser 580's...and a lot more comfortable (especially) in hot weather.
