Shure's SE210m+ sound isolating earbuds include iPhone remote, $170 price tag
The mid-range earbud wars are raging harder than ever these days, with high-end stalwarts and newfangled boutiques all striving for your hard-earned cheddar in the $100 to $200 range. Take Shure, for example, who is better known industry-wide for upper-end headphones and in-ear monitor systems than consumer-level 'buds. That said, none of those truths are keeping the company from pushing out a new set today in the SE210m+, which arrive with an obligatory three-button iDevice remote to control playback on your iPod, iPad or iPhone. For all intents and purposes, these are just a set of SE210s with an inline remote thrown in, but that's probably enough to catch the eye of quite a few consumers who would otherwise flock to any competing model that was doused in white. You'll find these guys at your local Apple store right now and online starting November 19th, but you'll need to bring $169.99 (or a really bodacious ski mask) to take 'em home.
