Electrostatic Earphone System Features: The Shure KSE1500 Electrostatic Earphone System is a high-end, sound-isolating earphone and amplifier system designed for audiophiles and audio enthusiasts seeking portable, high-resolution audio. Its electrostatic earphones use a single driver paired with a USB digital-to-analog converter (DAC) capable of converting analog or digital audio from portable devices or computers at up to 24-bit/96 kHz resolution. The system features intuitive controls, including an on-board four-band parametric EQ with five presets and four customizable settings for optimal audio fidelity. The amplifier supports digital audio via micro-USB, analog via direct line-in, or a bypass mode for a pure analog signal. A front-panel display provides real-time monitoring of input source, input level, battery status, output volume, and EQ settings. The system’s premium housing is crafted from machined black anodized aluminum, powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be charged via the included wall charger or USB while streaming. Compatible with iOS and Android devices, the KSE1500 includes Lightning and OTG cables, two 1/8" (3.5 mm) cables, an airline adapter, an attenuator, a 1/4" (6.35 mm) adapter, two security bands, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and a leather carrying case.
