Shure Over-the-Ear Headphones For Those Who Hate Brain Tickling

9:30AM Jesus Diaz | I’ve tried in-ear headphones and I just can’t stand them. That’s why I walk around like an 80s DJ nowadays, with big over-the-ear muffs and Rick James t-shirt. That’s why Shure wasn’t on my list of potential headphones until today. More »

Shure Rolls Out Cheaper SE102MPA Phone Headset, Bundles Free Music Phone Adaptor With Full SE Line

2:30AM John Mahoney | As you know from our recent Battlemodos, we love Shure’s SE line of in-ear headphones, especially when paired with the Music Phone Adaptor that gives you a microphone and control button for your iPhone. Previously, the MPA was a US$50 add-on and the cheapest phones you could get it with were the US$120 SE110s, but the new SE102MPA set adds the SE line’s modular design to the low-end (but still great) SLC2 phones from Shure’s “Pro” category and adds an iPhone adaptor for US$100, total. And on top of that, they’ve bundled the MPA with the whole modular SE line for even more deals. More »

Shure Busts Out $99 SE110 Earphones But iPhone Support Still Costs Extra

5:30AM Wilson Rothman | On the web page for Shure’s newly announced SE110 earphones, the new lowest rung of the successful SE line, the price is listed as $119. But according to a press release that came out today at IFA, these babies will cost $99 when they appear. It’s a very low stoop indeed for the makers of ridiculously expensive—but oh-so-sweet sounding—earbuds. Shure has assured us that the SE110 are indeed iPhone friendly, and that the $40 Shure iPhone earphone adapter is not needed. I have used the SE210 for a few months now, and they are great, but at $149, probably still too pricey. I will be a fan of the SE110 only if it comes with the squishy noise-isolating memory foam that makes its predecessors so damn comfortable and peaceful. It is hard to tell looking at the specs what they stripped out going down from the SE210. The only way to really find out is to have a listen, so stay tuned. [Product Page, Press Release] More »

Shure iPhone Headset Adapter Lets Any Headset Make Calls

4:09AM jenneth | If you’ve had any type of headphones plugged into the iPhone when you’re on a call—including that tape adapter you have for your car—you’ll notice that you can hear the person fine, but they can’t hear you. Obviously, that’s because there’s no microphone on those headphones you’re wearing. Shure’s Music Phone Adapter let’s you use any set of cans as a headset by adding an in-line mic in the adapter. Sure, it’s pretty pricey at $49.99, but the privilege of using any set of headphones to make calls could be worth it if you have some expensive $399 Shure headphones you don’t want to take off just to make a call.
