The $1,000 price range for earphones is not a realm most consumers visit-if you're reading, however, you're either one of the few who might, or you're at least curious. Do the high prices truly bring a euphoric audio experience?

Stellar sound quality; Includes two detachable cables; Tons of accessories, including hard shell case, multitude of eartip options, inline volume adapter; Includes ear nozzle pieces to adjust sound signature to personal tastes

Extremely expensive for a non-custom molded pair; No inline remote or phone controls for mobile devices

The SE846 combines state-of-the-art engineering with great musicality.

Four balanced armature drivers; Customizable frequency response; User-replaceable cables

Not as good at isolating outside noise as custom in-ears

For the customers that bought these earbuds I truly recommend them to buy -and I know is an extra expense- the Full Shell Sleeves from Sensaphonics.

Stunning detail; Tonally balanced; Strong dynamics; Great comfort; Secure and solid

Look little different from some of Shure's cheaper in-ears; Lacks the aura of luxury

Shure's range of earphones has expanded greatly over the last eight years, with the SE line covering price points from ￡50 to well over ￡300. Until now the flagship was the ￡389 SE535, which replaced the SE530s that launched in 2007.

Tremendous sound quality; exceptional detail and balance; sturdy design; customisable sound signature using nozzle filters

Expensive choice; unlikely to suit very small ears

The Shue SE846 has to be one of the ultimate earphones.

The kidneys are getting weak, and hence I think I don't need them anymore..thought of investing them though...then I came across this marvel, ingenious of a product...boy o boy....its worth every single cell of your organ!!..

Durable; Excellent Craftsmanship; Great Intonation; Great Sound; Highly Responsive
