This IEM is purely meant for audiophiles who are passionate about this. Automobile enthusiasts spend millions on amazing cars and bikes because they are passionate about them. This is applicable for photography enthusiasts too. Same as this. If you aren't an audiophile, you won't get this.
I carry around a full magnetically suspended turntable, 20lbs of virgin vinyl, a pre-amp, and a set of Stax 002 with the electrocharger. all connected by platinum braided cables. Get on my level.

@@mayravixx25 it feels disingenuous, if you build a loyal following with decent content, you shouldn't abuse them with these buzzfeed tactics
@Nicholas Jordan Is it not the goal of every CZcamsr to gain a following? To gain views? Look at everyone you watch. Most likely, they use clickbaity tactics as well, whether it be enticing thumbnails or titles specifically designed to draw you in. The simple fact is that it's impossible to prevent clickbaiting, because if everybody went into this without the intent to gain a following, nobody would have a following. That's just how it is.

But after trying and purchasing better/different headphone models, I can't go back to my ATH-M50X without cringing a little. If someone asks me for advice on buying headphones, I always ask how much money they're willing to spend. If they answer anything below $200, I always suggest they save a little more.

Audiophiles call it “Golden Ears”. You either have it or you don’t. Some people can hear the difference of quality between a good or bad sound system. Some people couldn’t care less and think they’re all sound the same. It’s kind of like musicians born with perfect pitch or a trained ear through practice. Then there’s tone deaf people who can’t sing in tune at any pitch. No matter how hard they try or practice.

Most people don't get people who buy expensive headphones/earphones or other audio equipment but as an audio enthusiast, I do have to say it is worth getting something a bit high end. You'd be shocked by the sound quality of some of this stuff and how amazing it sounds. Its hard to understand until you actually here it. And it usually isn't for the casual music listener either.

Electrostatic drivers aren't necessarily superior to BA drivers that IEMs typically use. You can opt for much slimmer portable DAC/amps than that electrostatic amp.

Linus reviews earbuds
(I know it's the BF5 devs)
Pretty good IEM tho, but only for enthusiasts.
Shure (or, Shure Brothers as us old-timers still call it) is a manufacturer of pro-grade audio gear. They've never really made a lot of consumer-level gear. The amp pack, the LEMO connector, and the huge price is familiar to any of us who have used Shure pro audio stuff. I've got to believe that this product is a derivative of some really high-end, niche pro product they for some special purpose. (Think space program, or intel.)
Why does the title of the video have nothing to do with the product?
It's a Linus Tech Tips video.
Just to be very clear, I enjoyed the video. It was a really well made review. I just don't like seeing a notification for a video with a title that tells me absolutely nothing about the product in the video.

glad to see shure still pushing on with advancements in tech, I remember when the e500 in ears came out and I had 2 pairs both of which suffered cracking cases and hardening wires that split, the sound was shures typical warm signature with the best mids in the industry, so rich in sound. then they dropped the se500 and se535 which I had next with no cracking cables or shells but the armatures would rattle with deep bass at higher volumes even tho it was the same e500 setup. I hated that so brought the sony mdr ex1000's which were significantly more expensive but my gosh they sounded amazing even going back to traditional drivers, even then and at that price there was sibilance in the highs. at this time a few years back I was totally and completely addicted to headphones and head-fi.org, I went through an unprecedented amount of in ears, westone w40's, UE triple fi 10's to custom ultimate ears like ue10pro's, thankfully I got married, had kids and left headphones behind in exchange for pc gaming lol
I only wish today I didn't have adult problems and I could splash cash on earphones like these, thanks for bringing back some nice memories and a new wave of jealousy!

frequency response is not a number, its a graph
ideally, a perfectly linear frequency response is a number. not that we will ever be able to reach that, but still.
@YourMomDotCom19 but how well on each frequency? That's why
Just like age.
@YourMomDotCom19 not, i'm just saying that if humanity could ever be able to make a consumer product with perfectly linear frequency response over all audio range (say 1HZ to 100KHz) it could be described with a single number like: "0 rollover over all frequencies" or "10dB/mV in the full frequency range at max volume" or something like that, drawing a graph would be pointless.
of course we will not reach that.
@@noname_atall Actually frequency response is commonly specified like this 40 - 22000 Hz +/- 4 dB. However in case if any type of headphones it doesn't make any sense to specify it like that. Graph would be much more useful, but most brands don't provide them. You can find some tests and they look just like Sennheiser IEMs, nothing special. BTW perfectly flat response is not what you want in case of headphones because of head-releated transfer function.

I understand it's business, and as long as they're making more money they are probably not going to give a shit - but driving away core audience only in an attempt to attract new audience isn't a sustainable business model in the long run.
@@odinsplaygrounds agreed. The core audience is more likely to watch a video that doesn't have clickbait title, and is more likely to share that video with other people. I have certainly thought about clicking "not interested" when LTT videos come up in my CZcams feed, due to the clickbait titles.
@Advocatus Diaboli You cant even spell Linus correctly. Most of us complaining the title as it is not clickbait, it is just straight up misleading. Imagine people looking for a review for kse1200 not clicking this video becuz he didnt see the product name in the title. Be a wise fan, not a dog.

Hey this is nothing compared to how much audio equipment used to cost back in the 80's. People with barely enough to get buy living pay check to pay check would have these really nice 2000 to 3000 dollar audio decks. It was like you barely had enough money to put food on the table but you always had something nice to listen to get you by.
Right, and $2000 was worth a lot more back in those days.
If I'm being honest, that doesn't sound like a particularly good thing.
This was my dad. Aiwa, Sony, Technics...
Are you sure? Because the combined MSRP of my entire HK rack was about $800 in the mid 80s. A lot of that stuff costs significantly more now than it did when it was new. I mean, my mom has a set of Infinity speakers and a Pioneer turntable that she bought in college with fast food restaurant wages in the late 70s and still had enough to pay rent, put gas in her car, buy weed, AND pay all of her college tuition and not take out loans. Sure the turntable alone is worth $600 now but back then it was...well, not cheap, but nowhere near $3000, her V8 Duster wasn't even that much.
@@CyberdyneSystemsSkynet The receiver alone was $1000, turntable $500, 4, 2 foot cabinet speakers with tweeters mid range and low range $1000, dual tape deck, and equalizer don't forget the pre-amp. Sony sells there newest receiver for $2000 or more now a days HK is low end stuff.

So happy to see them in this video. ❤️❤️❤️ Their midrange electo stats (which are still about $15,000) a pair are some of the greatest speakers I have heard (and that’s because I haven’t had the opportunity to hear their high end in person).

I think this is an extremely exciting piece of technology. I'm a little bit surprised that they developed this for audiophiles - I'd expect something like this to hit musician IEM (in-ear monitors) or hearing aid markets first.

Also, Sony XPERIA phone with LDAC support has very good DAC with support to software decode DSD files. ( I think it is by FPGA)
agreed
Too bad fam
Would pay money to see some appletard get out-hipstered by some dude with one of these, using an android smartphone that has a high end DAC, in a hand carved wood case, talk about how expensive and elite it is and then note their iphone and say something condescending about how they don't have a headphone jack. The appletard's head would probably implode. (For reference, i'm not defining anyone with an apple product as an appletard, just people who unapologetically shill for apple no matter what they do).
@@hzuiel 😂😂😂😂😂
So we need a headphone jack on our phone for this?
No. as he pointed out in the video - there is a DAC in your phone, but it's of "low" quality so pairing it with headphones that cost more then twice the price of your complete phone would be useless, since the quality of your audio would be bad before it gets to the amp. The amp can't make audio better than how it comes in.
Came here just so ask - please stop with clickbait titles.
@Master Drakthorian So sad man...
@Master Drakthorian Do you know this is not clickbait? This is misleading! People looking for a kse1200 review wont click on this because they wont know it form the title. Be a wise fan, dont be a dog.
@Master Drakthorian Well, I did, on both forum and comment section, just maybe mine is covered by the other comments, or they just treat mine as a hate for the sake of hate type comment and ignore it. Btw, linus said before they read almost every comments on their video.
Wtf when I bought the mpow 59 headphones they were $30
And i'm using them right now lol
Same. And they still work great
They fit my head much better than my expensive HD 4.50s from Sennheiser, but the top part is peeling away, and the sound quality is just a tag lacking. Nothing to complain about for the $25 I paid for them though
But can it play Crysis?
That AD tho, 2k earphones in vid gonna trow in some cheap plastic stuff lol
what cheap plastic stuff?
Mystic_ 112 The headphone ad at the beginning. Lol
the headphone giveaway lol, $30 headphone giveaway in a video about $2,000 earphones
I seriously can't believe that
It looks like a friggin Sony Walkman!
"speaking of little old me"
Now that's just lazy.
Bookish Cipher oh I'm guessing you haven't watched a whole lot of linus tech tips. For example "Do you know what else isn't a clock? Square space!"
@@matheustran8009 Oh sweat merciful lord, I have not stumbled upon such travisty just yet.
The click baiter is at it again

7:19 linus pulled a michael jackson on us. going from black to white makes you a smooth criminal.
