The world’s first electrostatic sound-isolating headphones are now among us. They are the Shure KSE1500.
Characteristics
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ELECTROSTATIC HEADPHONE TECHNOLOGY?
The KSE1500 is based on the latest electrostatic technology. Each sound-isolating microtransducer headphone features a diaphragm that weighs almost nothing and takes up virtually nothing, surrounded by an electrostatic field generated by back plates that manage charge oscillation. This technology offers the fastest and most accurate transient response available, resulting in unparalleled audio clarity and detail.
WHAT SOURCES CAN BE USED?
The KSE1500 is capable of processing digital audio via micro-USB, as well as analog audio via direct line input. You can also completely bypass purely analog signals, without applying conversion. The included USB digital-analog converter (DAC) converts digital or analog audio from portable sources or computers.
HIGH-RESOLUTION AUDIO
High Resolution Audio LogoThe product with this logo has been designed to maximize the sound performance of high resolution audio.
The first application of electrostatic technology for sound-isolating headphones featuring a single transducer design.
Extremely high correlation with the sound source, offering unparalleled clarity and detail in sound. Electrostatic technology offers the fastest and most accurate transient response available.
The built-in USB rechargeable battery can be conveniently charged with the supplied wall charger or from a computer, even when outputting audio via USB from the computer.
The headset’s lightweight, ergonomic shape minimizes listening fatigue, while comfortable sound-isolating ear cushions block out up to 37dB of ambient noise.
The headset’s custom-designed cable specifically insulates each conductor.
Compatible with Mac, PC, Android and iOS devices through the included accessory assortment, which includes Micro-B to Ligthning and Micro-B OTG cables.
Enhanced audio control offers additional control options to maximize the fidelity of audio playback.
