Shure SE425 SE425-CL

Dual high-definition MicroDrivers with separate woofer and tweeter produce accurate 20Hz–19kHz sound, while 37 dB noise isolation effectively eliminates ambient noise. The detachable, Kevlar-reinforced cable and swiveling MMCX connectors add durability, and the included ear sleeves provide a secure, comfortable seal. Best for stage performers and audio purists who need precise, isolating in-ear monitoring, not for exercise or high-movement use.
