BACKED BY A SOLID 3 YEAR WARRANTY. BEST OF SCOTLAND, NOW IN INDIA
Experience the perfect mix of premium materials, precise engineering and a plethora of accessories with the RHA S500 Universal. Backed by RHA's rock-solid 3-year warranty, these in-ears deliver exciting, immersive audio in addition to unparalleled comfort for any ear size. Add RHA's universal remote to the mix & you get the best of Scotland, now in India.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND DURABLE ALUMINIUM BUILD
The RHA S500 Universal is almost entirely engineered from strong and resilient aerospace-grade machined aluminium. Not only does it give these earphones a premium finish but it also makes them extremely durable even after extensive use. Weighing just 14g, the lightweight build further helps in reducing ear fatigue.
FULL-RANGE SOUND REPRODUCTION WITHOUT COMPROMISE
The S500 Universal's frequency response goes as low as 16Hz and as high as 22kHz (which is even more than the human listening ability), thereby capturing every possible frequency to give a rich and detailed sound. Though small in size, its 140.1 micro-dynamic drivers produce vibrant and full-range sound reproduction without compromise. Engineered for maximum output from within the headphone's diminutive aluminium housings, it excels at delivering high-quality sound.
SMALL ON SIZE, BIG ON ISOLATION. SEVEN SETS OF EAR TIPS FOR THE RIGHT FIT
The S500 Universal is designed to fit comfortably and securely inside the ear canal, minimizing external noise intrusion in order to produce uninhibited, authentic audio reproduction. The earphone is supplied with seven sets of ear tips in a variety of sizes and styles in order to ensure the best noise isolating fit for any ear.

Experts Verdict |
"The S500 are versatile earphones that work especially well for pop. Fast, balanced and detailed with a 3 year warranty, these are definitely worth the price tag, and they’re as light as a feather." Major HiFi |
"They has managed to spring a surprise with the RE-400 'Waterline' in-ears. They provide a subtle, refined and neutral sound that may not appeal to bass-heads, but will certainly be of interest to purists." Gadgets 360 |
|
"I would recommend the E11C if you are looking for an entry-level earphone under £50. The build and design are outstanding this time for the price and the earphone doesn’t easily get tangled." Headfonics |
