The best IEM I've heard!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2019

Style: KSE1500Verified Purchase

I'm comparing the KSE1500's with the latest Etymotic Research ER4XD, Ultimate Ears 11, and Stax SR-L700's. The Shure's have superb definition as one would expect from an electrostatic transducer. The tonal balance is excellent, and the bass is nigh onto unbelievable. I have an unusual configuration in my ear canals and require the pediatric sleeves with the ER-4's. Because Shure doesn't offer such, I took advantage of their affiliation with Sensaphonics. I went to an audiologist, who made molds that I sent in. I received custom-made sleeves with a pocket for the transducers. The isolation is so good that I can wear these when I mow the grass with a conventional gas mower and I can hear the softest notes in orchestral music. The biggest difference between the Shure and Stax electrostatics is the listening perspective. Like all IEM's the KSE 1500's sound like they're in my head, where the Stax over-the-ear stats have an airier image. But for something small and easy to carry on an airplane or when walking, when I don't want to look like a spaceman waking down the street with over-the ear headphones, the KSE's are the best ticket! Battery life is better than I expected for an amplifier that puts out 200 volts. I've had several 2-hour listening sessions off of one charge. The sound is excellent using a USB connection to my LG V30 phone. These are costly, but if you are interested in in-ear-monitors, you won't be looking to replace these in the foreseeable future. They are good with head-banging rock and with Beethoven violin sonatas. One caveat: these are so distortion free that it's sometimes hard to know how loud they are playing. They will player louder than is safe for anyone's ears over the long-term, so don't try to make your eardrums bleed.

An unforgettable listening experience

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2020

Style: KSE1200Verified Purchase

I’ve been listening with the KSE1200 for 2 years now and it’s my favorite among my iems. Its speed and resolving capabilities is what I enjoy the most.

Compared to my Sony IER-Z1R, I prefer the KSE’s clarity and treble detail. Female vocals sound clean and airy. The Z1R has a warmer tonality with better bass extension and a larger soundstage. The KSE doesn’t have the low end slam like the Z1R has, but the bass is very detailed and punchy enough for my likings (similar to HD800S). Both are great iems, but my sonic preferences lean towards upper midrange, treble, and resolution which I think the KSE does better. The Z1R might be a better pick if you prefer a more relaxed sound signature. Even though people say the Z1R has slightly recessed mids I found it to have good mid bass giving male vocals more body compared to the KSE.

I use the KSE with a chord mojo and pure silver interconnect. I use the stock olive foam tips and som etimes spinfit cp240 if I want more air. The foam tips offer a more neutral tonality.

Takes some patience as a listener and you will be rewarded with something that is unmatched.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 31, 2016

Style: KSE1500Verified Purchase

I can see why some people here have rated this product very low. This is a very sensitive iem that pairs with sources and pretty much absorbs its sound signature. Pair it with Chord Mojo and it becomes warm and musical; pair it with Hugo and its detailed and neutral and airy. Make sure you finest with the usb/line out options and your source, and once you do, the sound quality is unmatched, and personally, this is worth the price. It didn't really resonate with me the first couple of minutes that i was listening to this iem, because i was working and couldn't really concentrate on the sound. it took about another 3-4 hours of carefully listening when i realize that this iem is even more detail than all iems and closed back headphones that Ive heard. Its great to listen to a nice pair of cans/iem and you just can't quite put your finger on it; as it grows on you with every different song you listen to. I ordered this from amazon expecting to return it as a skeptic, hoping for it to wow me in the first minute with crazy bass or whatever. The Kse1500 is so much more worth it than say, something that wows you at first but you progressively loose interest as you mature into a more analytical listener-This is one of those experience!

The Finest Earphones In The World?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2019

Style: KSE1200Verified Purchase

These are truly unbelievable earphones, it's no wonder the finest headphones in the world are electrostatic.

Though the DAC in the KSE1500 is good, these earphones scale tremendously with the right source. My Hugo 2 brought these to a whole other level! I originally purchased the KSE1500 but with the Hugo 2 pairing so well, I returned and instead went with the KSE1200.

The amount of depth, clarity, separation, tonal accuracy, speed and amount of detail these retrieve is unbelievable. And the bass (which has been considered a 'drawback' of electrostats) is the best I have ever heard! Powerful and clean in a way I never even thought was possible, with so much detail.

I have never heard music sound so detailed and beautiful. If I close my eyes, I would swear I was in the room with the artist, these headphones really suck you into the recording.

If you have 2K (for these) and a great DAC, I don't think these can be beat! My long (and expensive) search for my endgame headphones is finally over :)

Incredible sound. Uncomfortable wires & fit.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 22, 2019

Style: KSE1500Verified Purchase

An absolutely brilliant sound. Lacking in bass quality though. The fit is kind of finicky and to me was a bit uncomfortable as the wrap-around cables had to constantly be bent firmly around the ear. The ear tips need to firmly be in the ear without any air leakage, otherwise the sound becomes muffled and uneven. I found myself constantly having to adjust these to make the fit. This became an annoyance, and led to much discomfort around my ears. This ultimately led me to return the pair as I could not comfortable wear them more than an hour at a time. I think some excellent research went into these - and they sound incredible. I Just wish they had spent some more time making the cable material work better around the ear without having to constantly pinch it.

Sounds so good it makes me dance to the music.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 20, 2019

Style: KSE1500Verified Purchase

Absolutely amazing sounding earbuds from Shure. The response is flat, a rich neutral, perfectly reproduces instruments, is very fast, and is portable. I've owned the Sennheiser HD 800 + HDVD 800, and the IE800 before and none of them compare to the clarity, speed, and realism in sound produced by the Shure KSE1500. I absolutely recommend it to anyone who is able to afford this.
