I went to the Montreal HiFi show today and Shure had a booth setup. I listend to the E500 directly out of my ipod using lossless files. Compared to my UE5c the SHURE E500 were far more detailed, accross the board. They sounde more balanced then my UE5c's as well (there wasn't the bass hump like my UE5's). My impressions are brief but What I can say is that I will be ordering a pair once they come out.
THe PTH here module was very very cool and worked well. It is a lot smaller and more lightweight then I would have thought. The Shure rep kind and encouraged me to return to the show with my amp (Headroom Micro DM) to have another listen.
A funny side note: there was a booth setup seing classical cd's at the show. They had the Orpheus system hooked upto one of their cd players. It was the Orpheus electrostatic tube amp and the the HE60's too. I felt bad cause I stood there for 40 min just listening. I didn't particularly like the music but the Orpheus system was outstanding.
