Designed for professionals and audiophiles, it offers superior noise isolation, customizable fit with multiple foam tips, and premium accessories including a leather carrying case. Perfect for immersive listening anywhere, it combines cutting-edge tech with portable convenience. ## Description Shure's engineers have developed a world first: an entire electrostatic listening system that fits in your back pocket. The Shure KSE1500 consists of a pair of 10Hz-50kHz electrostatic earphones, an acoustically transparent, low-capacitance Kevlar cable, and an audiophile amplifier with bypassable parametric custom EQ. The amp connects to your phone or computer in two ways - via USB with hi-res 24/96 conversion for completely neutral playback, or with a traditional 1/8" auxiliary cable. Both cables are included, as are six sets of foam tips for a comfortable fit. And best of all, the earphones are isolating to cut out background noise. So whether you're on a bus, on a run, in the studio, or alone at home, the Shure KSE1500 delivers audio quality you can count on. Shure KSE1500 Electrostatic Earphone System at a Glance: A world first: sound-isolating electrostatic earphones that fit in your pocket An immersive listening experience Review: The best IEM I've heard! - 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. Review: Be prepared to enjoy the clearest music you've ever heard but torment through ... - These IEM's really hurt your ears. Physical pain. The ear piece is so big that it stretches the cartilages in your ears. I have to be cautious to not put it in all the way deep into the ear canal, so the pain is minimized. Still, I have to be cautious to not open my mouth, be cause the jaw opening moves the TMJ. Pain when drinking or eating. Be prepared to enjoy the clearest music you've ever heard but torment through the pain. Sound-wise it's the clearest IEM I've ever heard, but I only come from the SE500. There is no tunnel sound effect. How clear is the sound? When listening to my DSD files, it's only a bit clearer than my denon D5000. Almost no improvement from my LCD-3. Magnet headphones create about the same quality sound for much less money. If you want the highest quality sound from an IEM, then I would suggest the SE846 and stay far away from the 1500 for ear pain reason alone. ## Features - Matched Amplifier with Analog/Digital USB Inputs - Pair of Sound-isolating Electrostatic Earbuds - Rechargeable Battery - Protective Case - Polishing Cloth ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B016X5T7OU | | Additional Features | Android, Lightweight, USB connectivity, iOS | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Music, Calling, Gaming, Recording | | Audio Driver Type | Electrostatic Driver | | Battery Average Life | 10 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #206,148 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #524 in Recording In-Ear Audio Monitors | | Brand Name | Shure | | Built-In Media | leather carrying case, cable clip | | Cable Features | Detachable | | Carrying Case Material | leather | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Smartphones, Tablets, Computers | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | control | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars (24) | | Earpiece Shape | Rounded tip | | Enclosure Material | Stainless Steel | | Frequency Range | 10 Hz - 50,000 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00042406397742 | | Headphone Folding Features | In Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack, Lightning | | Headphones Ear Placement | In Ear | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Weight | 0.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Shure | | Model Name | language _ tag | | Model Number | KSE1500SYS-US | | Noise Control | Sound Isolation | | Specific Uses For Product | Music | | Style Name | Boom microphone stand with a telescoping boom arm | | UPC | 042406397742 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2-Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Shure - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** In Ear - **Form Factor:** In Ear - **Noise Control:** Sound Isolation ## Images ![KSE1500 Electrostatic Earphone System - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7109XVUwnyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best IEM I've heard! *by A***O on May 12, 2019* I'm comparing the KSE1500's with the latest Etymotic Research ER4XD, Ultimate Ears 11, and Stax SR-L700's.

Uncomfortable wires & fit. *by S***G on October 22, 2019* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shure KSE1500 Electrostatic Earphone System, Earbuds Matched to Digital-to-Analogue-Converter with EQ Control - Electrostatic Technology is the Most Precise Transient Response Available - Shure SM7B Microphone - Vocal Dynamic Studio Mic for Broadcast, Podcast, Recording, Gaming & Streaming, XLR, Rugged Construction, Detachable Windscreen, Smooth Sound, Warm Vocals, Wide-Range Frequency - Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium Short XLR to XLR Cables - 3ft, Male to Female Microphone Cable, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Mic Cord, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/22189435-kse1500-electrostatic-earphone-system](https://www.desertcart.in/products/22189435-kse1500-electrostatic-earphone-system) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
