Sound Isolating Earphones

Shure Sound Isolating™ Earphones, built with balanced armature speakers, deliver a detailed soundstage free from outside noise. The powerful and stylish Shure SE earphones come with a detachable cable, adapters, a durable carrying case, and in­terchangeable Sound Isolating sleeves for a comfortable and personalized fit.

Detachable Cable
You may need to detach the cable from the earphones to attach optional components or to replace the cable if it becomes damaged. To prevent accidental separation, the connector has a snug fit. Take special care to prevent damage to the earphones and connectors.

• Do not use pliers or other tools.
• Grasp the connector and the earphones as close as possible to where they join.
• Pull straight apart—do not twist. The cable is a snap fit, not threaded.
• Note: If you pull at an angle, the connector will not detach.
• Do not pull on the cable or put any pressure on the earphone nozzle.
• Listen for a click when connecting.
• When reattaching the cable, match the “L” and “R” markings. For clear cables and earphones, match the color dots (red=Right, blue=Left).

Using Earphones

Choosing a Sleeve
Select an earphone sleeve that provides the best fit and sound isolation. It should be easy to insert, fit comfortably, and easy to remove.

| Soft Flex Sleeves: In small, medium, and large sizes. Made from pliable rubber.
---|---
| Soft Foam Sleeves: Compress the foam sleeve between your fingers and insert it into the ear canal. Hold in place for about ten seconds while the foam expands.
| Triple-Flange Sleeves: If desired, use scissors to trim the stem on the sleeve.

Inserting the Earphones

Carefully insert the earphone into the ear like an earplug, so that a tight seal is formed.

• Important: If there is a lack of low-frequency response (bass), the earphone sleeve may not be forming a proper seal. Gently push the earphone deeper into the ear canal or try using a a different sleeve.
• Warning: Do not push the earphone sleeve beyond the ear canal opening.

Wearing the Earphones
The following are some suggested ways of wearing the earphones.

Wear the cable over the ear and secure it behind the head to help keep the earphones in place during physical activity.

Tighten the cable and take up slack by raising the cable cinch.

Changing Sleeves

• Twist and pull to remove the sleeve from the nozzle.
• Slide on a new sleeve so that it completely covers the barb and the nozzle.
• Caution: If the barb or any of the nozzles are exposed, the sleeve is not properly installed. Replace sleeves if they do not tightly grip the nozzle. To ensure proper fit and performance, use only sleeves supplied by Shure (unless using custom molded sleeves).
• For more information on how to wear Shure Earphones, view the How to Change Shure Earphone Sleeves video tutorial.

Removing the Earphones

Grasp the body of the earphone and gently twist it to remove it.

Note:
Do not pull on the cable to remove the earphones.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Careful maintenance ensures a tight seal between the sleeve and nozzle, improving sound quality and product safety.

• Keep the earphones and sleeves as clean and dry as possible.
• To clean sleeves, remove them from the earphones, gently rinse in warm water, and air dry. Foam sleeves require a longer drying time. Inspect for damage and replace if necessary. Ear sleeves must be completely dry before reusing.
• Wipe the earphones and sleeves with mild antiseptic to avoid infections. Do not use alcohol-based disinfectants.
• Do not expose earphones to extreme temperatures.
• Replace sleeves if they do not fit properly.
• Do not attempt to modify this product. Doing so will void the warranty and could result in personal injury and/or product failure.

Cleaning the Earphone Nozzle

• If you notice a change in sound quality, remove the sleeve and check the nozzle of your earphones. If the nozzle is blocked, clear the obstruction by using the wire loop end of the cleaning tool.
• If no obstruction is found or if sound quality does not improve, replace the sleeve with a new sleeve.
• Caution: When cleaning, do not force any object through the earphone nozzle! This will damage the earphone sound filter.
• Warning: The cleaning tool is only to be used to clean the earphones. Any other use, such as using the tool to clean ears or foam sleeves, could result in injury.
• The cable connectors to the earphones may collect debris or other deposits that can affect audio quality. If this happens, disconnect the cables and clean them using a dry cotton swab.

BT1 FAQ

For more information, or to view other Frequently Asked Questions, visit the Shure FAQ.

Remote + Mic, Telephony, Voice Command, and In-App use

• Q.) How do I pair my wireless Sound Isolating™ earphones with my device?
  A.) With the BT1 product OFF, activate pairing mode by holding the center button for 7 seconds on the remote. Navi­gate to Bluetooth settings in the source device settings, and the device SHURE BT1 should appear in available de­vices. Select BT1, and your device should be paired.

• Q.) How do I set up multi-point pairing? How do I change active devices?
  A.) Multi­point pairing, a feature of Bluetooth 4, is set up automatically—pair a second device (power cycle by hold­ing the power button down until the earphones turn off, and press again for 7 seconds to enter pairing mode). The playback between devices should be triggered by new activity (incoming call, new playback). If devices do not au­tomatically recognize the BT1 as an output device, manually disconnect and re-select the BT1 in device settings.

• Q.) Are my wireless sound-isolating earphones designed for calls?
  A.) The Bluetooth 4 protocol has both headset and stereo audio playback features built-in. The two-way audio and remote functions are included in that protocol, and the inline microphone located on the right side cable is provid­ed for calls and voice commands.

• Q.) Does the cable work with my iPhone/iPod/iPad/Android device?
  A.) Any device supporting Bluetooth 4 stereo audio playback and telephony protocols is compatible, including Ap­ple and many Android devices. We recommend downloading and installing the latest compatible operating system to ensure all drivers are up-to-date.

• Q.) Do my wireless Sound Isolating earphones work with Siri or Google?
  A.) Yes, hold the center button on the remote for 3 seconds to activate Siri, Google, or any other voice assistant service. (Source device dependent.)

• Q.) How do I use voice commands?
  A.) Hold down the multi-function center button (power/answer/end call) for 3 seconds to prompt voice command software. (Source device dependent)

• Q.) What device controls do the cable and earphones support? How do I use them?
  A.) The center button may be used for play, pause of media, and answering and ending of calls. Volume up (+) but­ton can be depressed for 3 seconds to skip forward to the next song. The volume down (-) button can similarly be depressed for 3 seconds to skip to the beginning of the song (or to a previous song within approximately 5 seconds of the beginning of a track). The center button will power down the earphones when held for 5 seconds. Holding down the power button for three seconds also powers the device back on.

• Q.) Will my wireless Sound Isolating earphones work with fitness apps?
  A.) Yes, most apps that have audio prompts will work, just like wired earphones.

  • Note: These earphones will not provide heart rate or other biometrics.

Battery, Durability, Range and Charging

• Q.) Are my wireless Sound Isolating earphones IPX-rated for water resistance? Are they suited to exercise?
  A.) The BT1 is not IPX-rated for water resistance. However, the SE112 and SE215 comprise two of the most durable earphones available on the market today. The cable, transmitter/receiver, and remote + mic pod are subject to the same stringent battery tests for moisture resistance that all of our earphones undergo. Also, when used in con­junction with the clothing clip, the snug, comfortable fit of the Sound Isolating design and ear tips, and wire form ca­ble (SE215 and RMCE-BT1 only) provides long-wearing comfort, providing a secure seal with the ear canal during even the most intense workouts. As such, these (and any earphones paired with the RMCE-BT1) are completely suitable for exercise. However, we cannot recommend use during any activities where awareness of surroundings are necessary (such as cycling or driving), and where prohibited by law.

• Q.) Why am I experiencing dropouts with my Bluetooth Sound Isolating earphones?
  A.) While the Bluetooth 4 protocol defines the standard range as up to 10 m (30 ft), the ideal distance between devices is significantly smaller, especially when outdoors where reflections are minimal. Similarly, the range can be much further in enclosed spaces, where a lot of reflections of the signal are permitted. Absorption of signal by skin or garments may impact connectivity (especially keeping the music device in a pocket with keys, and credit cards, which may act as an unwanted antenna for the phone), and a line- of-sight signal should be established to troubleshoot any connectivity or dropout issues.

• Q.) How long will the battery on my wireless Sound Isolating earphones last between charges?
  A.) When new, the BT1 battery will play back music for up to 8 hours, depending on the volume and type of music lis­tened to.

• Q.) How do I charge my earphones? How do I know when the battery is charged?
  A.) The supplied USB cable can be plugged into any standard 5V USB connection, including those supplied with devices, and on computers or laptops. For safety, do not connect to a charger producing higher than 1 A of current. The LED light will be solid red when charging. When fully charged, the LED will turn off.

• Q.) How long does it take to charge the battery?
  A.) The battery charges fully in about 2 hours, depending on the power source used. A “quick charge” will get up to two hours of playback on just fifteen minutes of charging time.

• Q.) Can I listen while my earphones are charging?
  A.) Yes. You can use the product while it is charging.

Use with SE Earphones

• Q.) Why would I pick Bluetooth Sound Isolating earphones over wired Sound Isolating earphones?
  A.) Wireless Sound Isolating earphones provide the great sound of wired SE earphones with the freedom of motion that separating your playback device from your earphones offers. This is ideal for high-impact exercise (running, spin classes) where the movement of the body may cause entanglement and result in an uncomfortable pull on the ears. Wireless sound-isolating earphones are also ideal for travel and commuting, where hands-free media control and telephony are key features.
  Note:

  • Some airlines permit Bluetooth use in flight. Check with your airline provider before traveling with the SE112-BT1, SE215-BT1 or RMCE-BT1.
  • The wireless Sound Isolating earphones may be ideal for iPhone 7 and other devices that do not have a standard headphone output as an alternative to the RMCE-LTG (for Lighting-equipped iOS devices, only).
  • The MMCX connectors standard on most SE earphones, like the SE215 and SE846, mean you don’t have to choose between wired and wireless—simply add an RMCE Remote + Mic accessory cable, RMCE­LTG (for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus), or the EAC64 replacement detachable cable (if the telephony features of the Remote + Mic cable isn’t required).

• Q.) What models of SE earphones are the RMCE-BT1 for?
  A.) All models of SE earphones with MMCX connectors, including SE215, SE315, SE425, SE535 and SE846 Sound Isolating earphones are compatible with the RMCE- BT1.

• Q.) Do the BT1 cable and earphones support Bluetooth aptX codec?
  A.) BT1 products do not support aptX codecs.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Shure Incorporated (“Shure”) hereby warrants to the original consumer purchaser only that, except as otherwise specified below, this product will be free in normal use of any defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the consumer’s original date of purchase directly from Shure or from a Shure­authorized reseller.

Any rechargeable batteries contained in or packaged with this product are so warranted for a period of one (1) year from the consumer’s original date of purchase. However, rechargeable batteries are consumable and their capacity will be reduced over time based on temperature, amount of time in storage, charging cycles, and other factors; hence reduction in battery capacity does not constitute a defect in material or workmanship.

At its sole option, Shure will repair or replace the defective product and promptly return it to you. In order for this warranty to be valid, the consumer must, at the time the product is returned, provide proof of purchase in the form of the original purchase re­ceipt directly from Shure or from a Shure­authorized reseller. If Shure elects to replace the defective product, then Shure re­serves the right to replace the defective product with another product of the same model or a model of at least comparable quality and features in Shure’s sole determination.

If you believe this product is defective within the warranty period, carefully repack the unit, insure it and return it with proof of purchase, postage prepaid, to Shure Incorporated, Attention: Service Department, at the address below.
Outside of the United States, return the product to your dealer or Authorized Service Center. Addresses are listed on www.Shure.com or can be obtained by contacting Shure at the address listed below. This warranty is not transferable. This warranty does not apply in cases of abuse or misuse of the product, use contrary to Shure’s instruction, ordinary wear and tear, an act of God, negligent use, purchase from a party other than Shure or a Shure­authorized reseller, unauthorized repair, or modification of the product.

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE HEREBY DIS­CLAIMED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS AND, TO THE EXTENT NOT PERMITTED, ARE HEREBY LIMITED TO THE DURATION AND TERMS OF THIS WARRANTY. SHURE ALSO HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse­quential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty does not restrict the rights of the consumer mandated under applicable laws.

THIS WARRANTY SUPERSEDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED OR INCLUDED WITH THIS PROD­UCT, EXCEPT THAT ANY SOFTWARE CONTAINED IN OR PACKAGED WITH THIS PRODUCT IS EXCLUDED FROM THIS WARRANTY AND INSTEAD SHALL BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, IF ANY, PROVIDED IN SHURE’S END USER LI­CENSE AGREEMENT ACCOMPANYING SUCH SOFTWARE.
