CES Unveiled: Shure announces new line of in-ear headphones

by Doug Berger

Shure SE Series

I know all you loyal Gadgetell readers may be slightly confused, but yes, Greg , the podcast producer is taking a crack at writing! Under the watchful eye of my two fearless editors I will give it my best shot.

At CES Unveiled, we had the opportunity to speak briefly with the PR people from Shure - who said the company will be showcasing their new product line of in-ear headphones. The SE210 ($149.99), SE310 (249.99), SE420 ($349.99), SE530 (449.99), and finally the SE530PTH ($499.99)

The new line builds off the success of the E Series headphones that have proven to be popular with audiophiles and non-audiophiles alike. Shure took notice of the complaints about poor fit for their ears, and opted to introduce a new sleeve that they hope will alleviate the problem for those with the ficklest of ear canals. And let me tell you, they were damn hard to get off of the headphones.

Yes, $500 may seem a bit steep for earphones, check that….$500 seems a bit CRAZY for earphones, but as Shure has proven to be dedicated to providing an audio experience everyone can enjoy. The new line of earphones will be available to the public in February of this year.
