Based on a short test compared to my E4s, I found the SE530s to have a lot more rolloff on the high end than the E4s (can't comment on SE310s). I've always been Jonesin' for a set of SE530s but after using E4s for 2 months and checking out a pair of 530s I preferred my E4s. It shocked me. It sounded like there was almost no detail in the highs and the extra kick wasn't worth the sacrifice (to me). The source was nothing special (unamped iPod - no EQ) in both cases.

I much prefered the E4 to SE420. With the exception of the SE530 I don't care for any of the SE series sound with Shues's newer drivers |
