Shure’s two new pairs of noise-isolating earbuds leave cords in the past

Shure is one of the most widely respected names in audio, producing consistently high-quality gear without resorting to gimmicky tactics like pastel colorways or artificially boosted bass.

On Monday, September 18, Shure announced three additions to its already-robust lineup: Two pairs of Bluetooth earphones — the

Wireless SE112

 and the

Wireless SE215

— and a

Bluetooth Remote and Mic Accessory Cable

 that can turn select wired Shure earphones into Bluetooth-ready wireless buds.

Shure has always been known for its crystal-clear sound signature but hasn’t always featured the most up-to-date, future-proof products. That all changes as the SE Sound Isolating Earphones go wireless. At $99 and $149 respectively, the SE112 and SE215 each offer eight hours of battery life with sound isolation that blocks up to 37dB of outside noise. Plus, with 30 feet of Bluetooth range, you can leave your phone in a safe spot and enjoy your favorite tunes without worry.

Both pairs of earphones also come with USB charging cables, carry pouches, and fit kits to ensure the efficacy of Shure’s sound isolation technology. There are not many differences between the SE112 and the SE215; the SE215 offers a deeper, richer soundstage with slightly improved bass response, and (perhaps most importantly) the SE215 are also equipped with Shure’s new detachable Bluetooth Remote and Mic Accessory Cable, which you can purchase a la carte for $99.

The cable is compatible with Shure’s SE215, SE315, SE425, SE535, and SE846 earphone models. It has a three-button inline remote and built-in microphone, with a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that lasts for eight hours on a single charge. It can be swapped out with Shure’s wired Remote and Mic Accessory Cable, which

retails for $29

.

All three products are available via several online retailers. Both the SE112 and the Accessory Cable are available in black only, while the SE215 come in clear, translucent black, translucent blue, and white. We haven’t yet had a chance to get our hands on any of Shure’s new additions, but we did love the wired version of the SE112 when we reviewed them in 2014.

Sennheiser’s new Momentum 2 wireless earbuds will have active noise canceling
sennheiser momentum true wireless hands on ifa 2018 2

Though it won't come as much of a surprise to those who follow the true wireless earbuds space, a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) document confirms that Sennheiser's follow-up to its superb Momentum true wireless earbuds will be called the Momentum 2, and they'll come with active noise-canceling (ANC) built-in.

It wasn't hard to come to this conclusion. The FCC document is comprised of two pages from Sennheiser's user manual for the Momentum 2, the follow-up to the company's impressive Momentum True Wireless earbuds. Page 2 indicates how to use the touch controls for the earbuds, and the smoking gun is the ANC feature that you apparently toggle on and off with a triple-tap on the right earbud.

How to add family members to your Apple Music subscription
Apple Music Browse screen.

Apple Music is one of the go-to streaming services for all things melodic and melody-adjacent. Hosting over 88,000 million subscribers globally and featuring upwards of 100 million tracks from the leading artists of today, Spotify's nemesis has plenty to love.

If you're a new subscriber, Apple Music gives you a break-in period of one free months of service. After the trial period, memberships are billed on a monthly or yearly cycle with the most popular Individual plan coming it at $11 per month / $109 per year. While that's on par with the average cost for other music streamers, saving a buck here or there is never a bad thing. While college students can get Apple Music for $6/month, another way to save on your subscription is with an Apple Music family plan for $17 per month.
