Shure The Shure SE846 sound-isolating earphones have long been a byword for high-performance audio in the professional music industry and audiophiles. Now, ten years after the original launch, Shure has announced the debut of the second-generation model of these celebrated earphones. The updated SE846 earphones now come in two new colors and feature a selectable sound signature, wider sleeve assortment, plus updated packaging.

The SE846 Gen 2 is now available in two new metallic colors: Jade and Graphite, along with an updated Clear model. The two-tone design of the Graphite and Jade versions presents a color on the exterior shell while still showcasing the precision-engineered components through a transparent casing. The earphones contain the same universal sound isolating design and four precision-engineered drivers as the previous generation.

The drivers are tailored to blend precisely with each other and deliver extended high-end clarity. In addition, an exclusive low-pass filter design serves up a bottom-end performance like a true subwoofer, but without sacrificing a single detail. The Shure SE846 Gen 2 earphones are the first update to the iconic design for ten years.

John Schulz Photography The SE846 Gen 2’s new extended sound signature directly addresses customer requests for an extended high-frequency with a more targeted contour in the frequency response (4kHz – 12kHz) so that imaging and clarity are increased, adding an “airy” quality to the audio. The Extended filter will ship as the default configuration of the SE846 Gen 2 along with Balanced, Warm and Bright filter options, enabling users to personalize the sound signature.
