I managed to snag the last two at the Phoenix Fry's yesterday. If anyone is interested, send me a pm and I'll help out a fellow Head-fier.

You can send them back to Shure with their warranty, and You still paid less than half. Or you could sell them to me...

Guys - thanks to your post, I checked Fry's in Indianapolis. They had one left on the shelf and I got it today for $205.
I asked them to check inventory and see if they had others. They checked - Indy inventory showed 0, even though one on the shelf.
I saw a few other Fry's stores that showed inventory (low single digits - e.g. 4 and 2) in the computer - doesn't mean they actually have them of course. Screen wasn't up long enough for me to see which stores. I think Austin may have been one.
Will burn them in for a few days and see what I've got. Currently use E4's and like them, though would like just a touch more bass without using an EQ. From other reviews, sounds like these will do that.
FWIW, I recently switched to the dark side [from Karma to iPOD, now that iPod supports gapless] and iPod EQ sux - haven't yet tried the MP3Gain fix to eliminate EQ distortion.
Thanks.

Thanks - only had 10 minutes last night, but love 'em so far.
Better bass, which is mainly what I was looking for. And that's comparing the E4 with triple flanges to the E500 with large soft flex sleeves that don't really seal my ear. Will put flanges on later today.
Anyone have experience with the new black foam sleeves? TIA

The new black foamies are amazing. They're very comfortable and make getting a good seal very very easy.

I use the black foam sleeves on my e500s also. Absolutely love them. They're very comfortable and feel quite durable compared to foamies and complys. They also sound fantastic and give a great seal! Going from complys to these i can tell that the treble isn't as rolled off anymore as the complys made them seem.. also i feel like the bass impact and quality has been slightly improved

uraflit, you're hilarious
(no offense intended btw
) LMAO! Next time you're there, make sure you buy something! Congrats to everyone who managed to cash in on some cheap IEMs... They'd never do something like that in the UK
Wow nice sale. Been too busy changing diapers to make it to Frys.
