Shure SE530 on Amazon - Amazing price!

The cracking cable problem still surfaces on forum from time to time, but much less now (not much so than cable problem from other companies). The old cable formula was discarded since early 2008. All the current SE530 has the less-prone-to-cracking cable but it will fail eventually as it ages, but that is normal to many other IEM as well.

You should know that not all Amazon vendors are authorized Shure dealer (and thus they can ignore Shure official pricing) which means the SE530 you buy from them might not come with any warranty at all (or makes it very difficult for you to claim warranty) - so check them out carefully.

Ships from and sold by BESTSELLER21.

I M TOO FROM INDIA
AND THERE IS DEFINITELY A SHURE AUTHORISED DEALER IN INDIA
SUNINFONET I THINK
CONTACT HIM BOUT THE PRICE QUOTE
ALTHOUGH SHURE 530 WILL COST AROUND 450 US $ IF U GET IT FROM SUNINFONET BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY PROVIDE 2 YRS WARRANTY

IF U CONTACT SUNINFONET DO QUOTE THE PRICE TO ME TOO

Why on earth would we buy from suninfonet for $450 when amazon sells it for $265?

And please don't use caps.

I got my sure SE 530 from him. (BESTSELLER21)

Side note:... it's almost $460.00 for a set of Sure SE 530 from headroom. If some guy is selling them for $260.00 doesn't that mean Headroom is making over $200.00?

Because the guy selling them for $260.00 is making some money, right? I would Rather take the chance that Sure is making a quality product, than spend $200.00 more from an authorized dealer participating in price fixing! (I hate all this price fixing Apple,Grado,Sennheiser,Sure on and on. Isn't this illegal? ) and all you get is a warranty. I almost think that you are betting that the Sure's will fail in some way.

maybe I'm jadded since I just had my SE530's fail with cracked cables 1 month out of warranty. I'm not buying the "trust shure makes a quality product" statement

Someone could have stolen a box full of SE530 and sell it cheap on the market - and don't think it can't happen, because I know Sleek Audio lost a shipment of their SA6 back in early 2008 due to fraud, Then they all later turned up on the open market for cheap. You also have to consider grey goods from liquidation. Yes, the MSRP is high, but it is not price fixing (you should read up what price fixing really means). Plus, If you think running a business involving stocking ten of thousands dollars worth of gears and low monthly sale figure does not deserve high profit margin in each items, you are very much wrong.

I actually got my SE530 for around $350 from an authorized dealer, which I consider to be very fair pricing back in the days. It does take time and effort for the right moment to grab a good deal, but getting the best bang of your bucks is never really an easy thing to do.

Most dealers will quote you a price much lower than MSRP if you bother to ask. I'd rather spend the extra money and have the peace of mind that good dealers provide customer service (good luck getting that from warehouse vendors) and valid warranty.

He has a pretty positive customer satisfaction rate. I don't see why not buy from him, but there is also a seller that I bought from for about 10 dollars more that was very easy to deal with and shipped even before the expected time. I think his name was Sarjo_Distributions. Very pleasant to deal with at a great price.Good luck

The SE530s on Amazon are shipped from and fulfilled by Amazon so they'll ship immediately. If you have Prime then it's 2.99 to get them the next day in the US.

Come on enlighten me. ( I will goggle price fixing and I find out it is setting a MSRP and if the dealer sells below that MSRP they loose there dealership ie. you no longer sell said product . your going to be embarrassed or I will be.)

I googled Price fixing....
In general, it is an agreement intended to ultimately push the price of a product as high as possible, leading to profits for all the sellers. Price-fixing can also involve any agreement to fix, peg, discount or stabilize prices. The principal feature is any agreement on price, whether expressed or implied. For the buyer, meanwhile, the practice results in a phenomenon similar to price gouging.

Price fixing requires a conspiracy between two or more sellers; the purpose is to coordinate pricing for mutual benefit at the expense of buyers. Sellers might agree to sell at a common target price; set a common "minimum" price; buy the product from a supplier at a specified "maximum" price; adhere to a price book or list price; engage in cooperative price advertising; standardize financial credit terms offered to purchasers; use uniform trade-in allowances; limit discounts; discontinue a free service or fix the price of one component of an overall service; adhere uniformly to previously-announced prices and terms of sale; establish uniform costs and markups; impose mandatory surcharges; purposefully reduce output or sales in order to charge higher prices; or purposefully share or "pool" markets, territories, or customers.

Generally, price fixing is illegal, but it may nevertheless be tolerated or even sanctioned by some governments at various times, particularly among those whose countries are developing economies

Depends. I'm one for buying used if possible. I ended up getting a hold of the UM3X and SE530 at around the same price point.
