Shure Brings Sound-Isolating SE115M+ Headset to The iPhone

Audio gear maker Shure has introduced its new SE115m+ Sound Isolating Headset with Remote + Microphone…which is basically a fancy way of saying its made a version of its well-regarded SE115 headset for the Apple iPhone. The SE115m+ combines the sound isolation technology and high audio quality of the SE115s with a three-button remote and a microphone so the unit can be used with the iPhone 3GS and current Apple iPods.

“Since the iPhone was introduced two years ago, Shure has been committed to building accessories that enhance the smartphone experience,” said Shure’s director of global product management Scott Sullivan, in a statement. “The SE115m+ blends functionality, performance, and convenience with Shure’s standard for professional audio quality and durability.”

The SE115m+ features an in-ear-canal design that blocks external noise by forming a seal on the ear; the headset also includes Shure’s Dynamic MicroSpeaker II for detailed sound quality and enhanced bass response. For use with the iPhone or iPod, the SE115m+ also come with an inline microphone and a three-button remote for controlling volume and playback without requiring users fish their Apple device out of a pocket or bag.

The SE115m+ headset will be available later this month for $119.99 at Apple retail stores and Apple’s Web site; in early 2010 it’ll be available through other Shure retailers. The headset ships with a carrying pouch and interchangable earpieces for a proper fit.

Apple’s portless iPhone could be more than a concept
The Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max's charging port.

A portless iPhone may no longer be outside the realm of possibility for Apple. The European Union has confirmed that the Silicon Valley giant can create portless iPhones without USB-C.

We reported over the weekend that Apple wanted to make the iPhone 17 Air the first portless phone, but shelved the idea because of regulations in the EU, per a report from Bloomberg. One of those regulations was the Common Charger Directive, an environmental law that forced Apple to switch from the Lightning port to USB-C to reduce the amount of electronic waste from Lightning cables. Now, according to 9to5Mac, European Commission press officer Federica Miccoli said a portless iPhone would also comply with the directive.

Apple could be forced to make major changes to how your iPhone works
The back of the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Apple is facing yet another landmark push in Europe that could open some of the signature features of its ecosystem. The European Commission has today detailed a couple of broad interoperability measures that Apple must follow, in order to oblige with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) guidelines.
These measures cover a total of nine connectivity features available on iPhones, covering everything from smartwatches to headphones. The idea is to give developers access to the same set of advanced features — such as immersive notifications on watches and quick pairing for peripherals — that is locked to Apple’s own devices.
“The specification decisions are legally binding,” says the regulatory body, adding that interoperability is “key to opening up new possibilities for third parties to develop innovative products and services on Apple's gatekeeper platforms.”

I’ve used the iPhone 16 Pro Max for 6 months. Here’s why I love it
The back of the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max.

I bought the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max when it was announced and have used it every day since then, racking up six months of use, and yet I’ve written very little about it. It’s time to change that, explain why it is technically my only “permanent” phone, and why I think it’s superb.
How I use my iPhone

I have two SIM cards. One is my “main” SIM card which is attached to the phone number I use, and the other is all about data, and they both live in different phones. My main SIM is switched in and out of review Android phones all the time, while the SIM I use mostly for data only lives in my Apple iPhone. They’re both always with me, and since September 2024 I’ve used the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max alongside whatever Android phone I’m reviewing.
