"Shure is well known in the professional audio and consumer audio market for our range of in-ear earphones" comments Paul Crognale, marketing manager at Shure Distribution UK. "We've drawn on our experience with pro audio monitoring systems and sound isolation technology and applied it to a whole new range of headphones. Shure kit is installed in studios across the globe and we anticipate the high quality of the new range will make these headphones as commonplace in the studio as our microphones are now."
