With Shure’s cable, it doesn’t matter if your phone ditches the headphone jack
June 30, 2025
Shure is keenly aware of theheadphone jack’s ensuing obsolescenceand is reacting accordingly with its BT2 Hi-Res cable. This allows listeners to take their Shure earbuds — say theSE215 wired— and make themwirelessby replacing thewiredcable with the wireless one.
The BT2 operates viaBluetooth 5.0and features an in-line mic and remote, a cable management slider, and a pendant that houses the battery and integratedamplifier, which mitigates harmonic distortion. Plus, the cable supports a slew of high-quality codecs: aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, and AAC. While the validity of the streaming quality may be dubious for bothaptXandAAC, the support is appreciated nonetheless.
With a 10-hour playback time and 350-hour standby time, the cable provides enough juice to get through a handful of commutes, and if it runs out, you can always pop the earbuds from the BT2 and back onto the original RMCE cable.
Shure’s modular design goesagainst the grain by empowering consumersto choose how they want to listen to their music. Its adaptive imperative respects and sustains customer choice, an increasingly rare — yet appreciated — gesture.
The Shure BT2 Hi-Res cable is available now for $149.
