Shure is offering future buyers of its SE (‘Sound Isolating’) in-ear headphone range the best of both worlds by bundling a Bluetooth cable in the box, allowing them to switch between wired and wireless listening.

The four-star SE125 (£149), Award-winning SE425 (£299), four-star SE535 (£449) and five-star SE846 (£899) now come with Shure’s new Bluetooth 5 Earphone Communication Cable (RMCE-BT2), which supports aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, AAC and SBC codecs and has a transmission range of up to 30 feet.

The difference between the four pairs lies largely in driver configuration, ranging from one driver in the SE215 to four drivers and Shure’s low-pass filter in the SE846.
