Now that every one has an iPod the market for ear buds is getting more and more competitive. The latest from Shure are the
E500PTH sound isolating earphones. These little beauties will cost you more than the iPod itself but they do have cool details like a "Push to Hear" feature that lets you lower the music so you can pay attention to the outside world. They also have three mini-speakers, one tweeter and two woofers to create multi-dimensional sound. The headphones are sold with a premium accessories kit that includes the detachable Push-To-Hear Control, sound isolating sleeves, adapter jacks, a carrying case and a level attenuator for using your headphones with high-output audio sources such as airplane armrests. The total package costs $549.
