The KSE1500 delivers unparalleled frequency reproduction, combined with the sophisticated design and premium fit and finish of Shure products.

These earphones feature a single MicroDriver design with state-of-the-art electrostatic technology. The technology includes a virtually weightless and massless diaphragm, surrounded by an electrostatic field generated by back plates that manage charge oscillation. This technology results in the fastest and most accurate transient response, as well as exceptional sonic performance.

The KSE1500 offers four customizable settings to manage audio playback preferences. It also includes a 4-band parametric EQ with five preset settings. The controls on the amplifier are streamlined for quick and easy navigation. The earphones feature a lightweight ergonomic shape to minimize ear fatigue, and the sound isolating sleeves can block up to 37 dB of ambient noise.
