The Amazon seller I bought my Shure SE530's from told me that the headphones I bought were Black and Silver. If im not mistaken, all Shure SE530's bought today are a shiny copper color, like this:

If what the amazon seller says is true, and I receive the black and silver color Shure SE530's, am I receiving a really old version of the SE530's? Are these black and silver versions even made anymore? If they are black and silver, should I ask for a refund and try to get the shiny copper version?

If you are curious, the black and silver version looks like this:

UPDATE: Yes, as I expected, the seller made a mistake, they are copper/gold. Thanks for the replies anyway

Thanks,
Gabe

I believe they look like black and silver because the white balance of the photo is not accurate.

They were always bronze coloured.

^ What he said.

I was under the impression that so called "Black and silver" 530's are just myth; and it doesn't actually exist. I think the photos are just the brightness imbalance as pyp mentioned, unless there are prototypes of 500/530's of this colour or something. I can certainly be wrong on this, but I've personally have never seen or heard of any owners of the black/silver, only bronze.

Make sure he's not selling you a fake and whatnot. It's either that, or he is just basing the description off the pictures and have never actually seen one in person.

Got mine from Headroom a month ago and they are copper. When I spoke to Shure they said Black and Silver were never released.

Nope... But model paints and DIY does...

Correct. There were suppose to be two different colors but they only made the copper colored ones available. Perhaps they will release another color when the sales start to fall off.

Hi, This is Sean from Shure.

Your responses are correct. We never released more than one color version of the 530. Some SE530 photographs make it look like they were 2 toned, but this was just a lighting issue. It is difficult to photograph the earphone in it's true color. The Highly reflective surface, combined with the curvature of the earphone body makes it appear differently depending on how the light hits it.

I hope this helps.

To me, more of a bad photoshop attempt compared to a photograph.

The black-white looks better to me

updated the post, the seller made a mistake, they are in fact copper color.

I think Shure should update their photographs with ones that show their true color. They are basically creating an illusion for their customers. i was under the impression that they were black and white until I saw pictures from customers who were doing reviews.

only bronze color

 

[ibis99]

Once there in your ears you won't care what color they are. There just that good.

I like the bronze color more than black and silver. Once you see the SE530 in the bronze, you'll just fall in love with it.
