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 in
terchangeable 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 earphone
and connector.
Do not use pliers or other tools.
Grasp the connector and the earphone as close as possible to where they join.
Pull straight apart—do not twist. 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).

Shure Incorporated

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 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.
8/27
Shure Incorporated
The fit of the earphone can greatly affect sound quality.

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.
9/27
Shure Incorporated
Caution: If the barb or any of the nozzle is 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 earphone and gently twist to remove.
Note: Do not pull on cable to remove earphone.
10/27
Shure Incorporated
For more information on how to wear Shure Earphones, view the How to
Properly Fit and Wear Shure Earphones video tutorial.

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 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 earphone. If nozzle is blocked, clear
obstruction by using wire loop end of 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 sleeve, 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.

tomatically recognize the BT1 as an output device, manually disconnect and re-select the BT1 in device settings.
13/27
Shure Incorporated
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 provid
ed 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 Ap
ple 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?

ton 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 sec
onds 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 of tests for moisture resistance that all of our earphones undergo. Also, when used in con
junction with the clothing clip, the snug, comfortable fit of the Sound Isolating design and eartips, and wireform ca
ble (SE215 and RMCE-BT1 only) provides long-wearing comfort, providing a secure seal with the ear canal during
14/27
Shure Incorporated
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 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, 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 volume and type of music lis
tened 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 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 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 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:
15/27
Shure Incorporated
Some airlines permit Bluetooth use in-flight. Check with your airline provider before travelling 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, RMCELTG (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.
