Shure True Wireless Adapters [Updated TW2]: geni.us/ZJBt
2021 Update: It appears there is a second generation true wireless adapters. This video was of the first generation TW1 but I updated the product link for the new item.

I can’t believe you didn’t talk about the ambience feature on these!! It’s the best I’ve ever experienced. Even better than the Air Pod Pros. While the call quality problem sucks on the users end callers I’m talking to say that I sound great. It’s a manageable annoyance. This is the Shure Bluetooth adapter I’ve been waiting for. Third times a charm, I guess. I’m very, very happy that my 846’s are now truly wireless.
Would you ease expand on the “ambience feature” you are mentioning? I have the AirPod Pro (latest hardware revision).
@@bikepostmedia The feature that lets you hear what’s going on in the room while the music is playing or not. Apple calls it Transparency Mode. Engage by double clicking on either stalk button.
Have you ever had problems with snapping the headphones off the wires cable? I cant separate them lol
@@Jmusicguitar sometimes but I either just snap off at a right angle or pull up with equal force. They aren’t supposed to come off easily but they do come off.
Super informative. I've owned Shure SE315's for years. Had no idea wireless tech was readily available. Went Sennheiser Momentum TW1, then TW2 and have been relatively pleased but always missed the sound isolating quality of the Shure IEM's. Thanks for the great video. Purchased through your link. Hope you get a cut!
Thank you for this review Stan! I have been a long time Shure user and have been looking at this product for a bit now. Your feedback as to the phone comm issues are legit. It kind of doesn't surprise me coming from an audio first company. I think the engineers and designers think the high majority of users/ consumers are going to be audio and existing users. Of course, this does not excuse this oversight but I think this is their point of view be it a good one or not. Thanks again!
Bought and returned them , they have nowhere near the drive needed. My shure 846 sound thin and poor. I use the xb10 mini amp and dac and thought these would be more convenient but the drop is sound quality is huge. My nuraloop sound better than my846 using these. With the xb10 the 846 blow my nuraloop to pieces. I should have known when you said airpod pro are close to the 846. My son has them and they are well below my nuraloop for sound.
Hi could you do a follow up video in 6 or 12 months comparing the firmware patches? Particularly audio sync and connection dropouts. Thank you!
Great review! I'll get mine next week and I'll sure check them for firmware updates.
Thanks for the video! I purchased it as soon as it arrived here in India. I'm using it with Aonic 215. It sounds great! I agree with you that they should improve the calling experience in this adapter. I have another gripe, though; the volume of music in Spotify is very low in this. I am not sure why. I have to use some third party apps to increase the volume in Spotify. All the others, like Apple Music, Amazon Music, TH-cam Music, etc sound fine.
If it’s an iPhone.. you can go to the hearing setting at the top and raise the decibels up. It does make much louder and you can double the volume
Great review Stan, Thank you very kindly 🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
By the way these will work with any MMCX IEM and you can get 2 pin to MMCX adapters as well. But you really shouldn't buy these considering Fiio UTWS5 is cheaper sounds as good & gets louder but doesn't have an EQ. But considering that galaxy buds pro are the same price. Even if you have $1000 IEMs it's not worth it. You'll be more likely to lose them & it's still less convenient & feature rich than TWS bud for the same price.
I noticed a very clear difference between the wireless and wired sound quality with the last bluetooth Shure adapter. It was quite garbage. I hope, especially for the price, these are better.
How do these compare to the fiio utws3??
Great review, many thanks! Personally I appreciate only having calls using my right ear, it's more like a traditional phone call and allows me to hear the environment at the same time (it also might be a generation thing - I'm Generation X, so used to holding the phone to my right ear!!).
I have just received mine and paired with my SE535. Really appreciate I have been able to continually upgrade these over the years, first with a USB-C cable with integrated DAC - now with TW1.
Did the phone call issue get resolved through a firmware update now 2 years later after your review?
I think if they have mic on both they should be able to hear the outside world control choice in phone mode or listening.
Purchased these last week and after charging and removing from the case they don't auto turn on. They don't auto pair. They don't pair even if you press the buttons for 7-10 secs. I returned them and got a replacement and the exact same thing. The charging case shows green but everything thereafter doesn't work
Hi. I used the previous wired type Bluetooth adapters. But you lose so much quality, especially in the bass, compared to using the cable direct into a source. What are these adapters like ? Are they as good as using the cable..
Thank you
Stan can you turn off touch control on the Bluetooth module? Thinking about using this for sleeping and want to avoid accidental presses etc.
I sleep with mine every night and haven’t pressed anything by accident yet. The buttons take enough pressure to push that you won’t have an issue. They are also slightly recessed in the adapter further reducing accidental presses. You won’t have an issue when you sleep.
get rid of that trush and get the foam eartips on those high end IEMs they act like custom molds and actually seal your ears better and let your ears breathe more
MMCX adapter ftw!
great review sir...
I’ve been looking for a replacement for Powerbeats Pro that were just stolen from me and I was dreading having to replace them either more lackluster beats audio or venturing out to another hook style earbud. I absolutely need the hook style because earbuds themselves do not fit in my weirdly shaped ears no matter what tip used. This seems to be a godsend for me personally as I didn’t even know these existed. I love good audio and I do not mind putting some decent money into a good pair. Should I expect a decent upgrade from the Powerbeats Pro? 😂 Also were more bugs ironed out from future firmware updates that you mentioned?
Can these be Bluetoothed up to a generic Transmitter? I want to transmit from my mixing desk but it doesn’t have Bluetooth inbuilt. Not everyone just wants to play music off their iphone.
Hey. Could you expand a bit on the call experience? Is it only the fact the only the one headphone only produces sound, or is also the call as well as the microphone quality bad?
Do these work with any IEM with mmcx or do these only work with Shure IEMs?
If you're working out or walking around, the ambient noise isn't going to let you appreciate the nuances anyways.
You're not an audiophile? Then y do u have these 😂😂you have to be either really rich or an audiophile to own the se846
IDK if anyone can help out but, I would like to use this with my shure IEMs on a laptop for audio output for teleconferencing, but use a different mic for audio input. Does taking it on and off automatically default the audio input to the on-board microphone, thus requiring me to change the input again to my dedicated microphone?
Is Shure True Wireless compatible with iPad Air 2020? Is pairing possible? Thank.
It is
Good man Stan!
what are the controls like? do you get next/previous track and volume as well as just play/pause and environmental mode?
I refuse to buy until they get calling to work. Not worth $200.
They won't. It's a deliberate engineering choice from Shure for safety reasons.
My god you're so cool thanks for the video and I love your ceramic Apple watch
How does RMCE-TW1 sound compare to the RMCE-BT2? I have the RMCE-BT2 and they don't have the same depth of sound as when connected with a hard wire, it's like night and day.
bluetooth for one, for two your phone has the ability to push more power to them to make them open up. Kind of like a drag car in city traffic vs the drag strip, Horrible analogy but still slapping a bluetooth adapter on IEMs are not going to do them much justice
@@professordraxon3982 I replaced the RMCE-BT2/525 with the RMCE-TW1/846 and it didn't improve... connected using the stock wire sounds fantastic, it could be crappy Bluetooth software because people using wireless couldn't tell the difference.
@@ronmurphy4234 are you saying you could tell but others can't? Mostly the Bluetooth it uses, some only use SBC and AAC when there's LDAC Aptx etc ones like LDAC and Aptx will sound better vs AAC or abc, similar to 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi from my understanding
@@professordraxon3982 I'm not an Apple user, so I'm not using AAC, I'm using a Samsung S10+ and all my files are in FLAC lossless format, being an audiophile for decades, I've listen to almost all formats, but haven't tried DSD. Because I used the same source and files for both corded and Bluetooth listing, and different Shure earbuds and Bluetooth connections, I think the reason is software related... Kinda reminds me when I had an Apple product and the AAC file kept skipping, it turned out to be Apple software and something to do with how they timed out or slept.
Here's a stupid question that may or may not be relevant: is there any reliable, low-latency way to use this as monitors from a 1/4" source? I would love to have wireless headphones (and would love to use my Shure SE846) while playing the drums and monitoring mic outputs wirelessly from my Scarlett, but obviously there is no native bluetooth and I'd have to use an adapter. I'm perfectly fine running headphone wire, but thought this could be a fun upgrade if anybody has ever tried this. Please tell me if I'm dreaming here.
What if you move your head around ? Will the inears stay in your ears or will it move ?
I bought them a week ago and not have experienced any issues with that.
Do you think these would fit under a motorcycle helmet? I would like to have them, but think behind the ear part may press on the helmet and be uncomfortable.
Depending on the battery life with the enviro mode on and the kinds of tips that you have, I would suggest not simply due to how much they can block out in passive noise cancellation as theres no active. or just one, Just for your safety, depending on the shape of your ear and the helmet they do sit relatively inside your ear and do not stick out very much but that is mostly due to ear shape and also the padding inside your helmet.
You can't skip and go to previous tracks with these right? I have a pair of these and nowhere in the manual does it mention track skipping
yes your cant
Hey man, have they upgraded them to do dual mono recording?
no
Thanks. Any news about tw2 new version?
LDAC alone is worth switching to android
Way to expensive, I'll just keep using cheap adapters. Hopefully they will go on sale soon. I would love to have those 846. Can you use the left bud without the right??
I’m not sure if he’s using a different version of the TW1, but on mine you can’t. The left earbud connects through the right, so as soon as you put the right bud back in the case, the left disconnects.
Does it have a built in microphone?
Please review the updated rmce-tw2
Question I have the 535, if I use them with my iPhone it won’t matter if I’m using tidal HD or Apple Music since is ACC format?? Or it does help tidal?
doesnt matter what you use to play music with, if your asking about quality of sound, just remember its bluetooth and that will always be inferior to a wired connection with a dac etc.
By this very moment did they fix the right-side and left-side calling issue?? I want to buy this ones, but i also need calling quality.
They haven't Dario, it won't be fixed.
On their website they've mentioned that call audio is only through the right earphone so I don't expect it will be changed.
I would've bought these months ago if calls worked on both earphones. That is the only thing that has held me back and I'm just hoping the second version comes soon and addresses this.
@@DivayanshBargotra I actually got them and sadly I’m going to return them. I’ll gotta think what I’m get next. Thank you so much anyway for that info bro!
@@dariocp87 No problem.
Since you've bought them and tried them, did you have any issue other than the call? Was the sound quality great at least?
@@DivayanshBargotra The sound quality is indeed great! The thing that goes around the ear it’s a little bit annoying at specific moments. I actually think you can get sound quality, good call quality, anc and the hole stuff in other earbuds for the same price.
These should work with any MMCX IEMs, right? Or does Shure use some dumb, proprietary MMCX?
technically, yes. The case is small though, so not many iems can fit in it. Try Fiio's UTWS3 instead.
This does not sound HiTec at all, so many bugs sound like no go for me Im out
Is it will work good with other mmcx iem ?
Most likely
Are these waterproof??
This might be a long shot, but does anyone have experience with these with a helmet on when riding a motorcycle? I really like my shure earbuds but I assume the bigger end of the stem is gonna be uncomfortable
Tried like 30 earphones and IEM. Came back to using these. The SE 215 sound isn’t as great in terms of sound but they definitely have the best noise isolation and it gets rid of the wires. I love their ambience mode, I’m able to reach through my helmet to click the button and it lets me hear everything without taking off my helmet.
i had issues with all the different cables that it breaks around the ear and they dont sit good in the ear. are these better cause its a bit expensive if I have to buy new too often!
I have had the same issue, Mainly due to my small ears and the cord not forming to my ear properly causing weight to be in a indesirable spot, I believe this to be much better than the cords as it looks to be flexable enough for big eared people and also small ears due to how it looked. I would say you should be fine in the sense that they wont be like the old OEM shure cables that had that plastic like coating that was to be moldable. This seems to be more rubber
@@professordraxon3982 these are not the best.... sits good around the ear but it unsyncronize nd the music comes out differently on the speakers so you have to pause for a few seconds then its normal again. and you can only hear phonecalls on the right ear.... not good when im a bus driver and the costumer comes in at the right side. I want it to be discreet away from the costumers.
@@andykbh Sony WF 1000xm3 are another pair that I have bought that work great, both buds pair to the phone individually and can be used independenly from one another meaning both are used for calls and can be used one at a time on either side for calls, so if you want just left side you can do that. A little spendy but I love higher end headphones
Shure website says tw1 supports only aptx, aac, and sbc. It does not support aptx low latency, adaptive, or hd variants. According to their Q&A section.
Can you clarify if your statements are true or not?
At present no TWS adapter cabable of anything above aptX. Proprietary codecs like on Samsung earbuds pro are best option for now.
Aren’t they tw2? Why you’re saying tw1?
This was the TW1. The updated version is the TW2.
Has anyone had any with loudness of the shure 215 wireless.. I have a iPhone XS Max?
Over priced. You have get some high quality Sony entire replacement for less with motion and tap commands. And a much more slick case.
🤷🏻♂️ it’s expensive sure but as I said, if you already have a pair of high quality shures, this is finally a good viable option.
@@SuprUsrStan I do, but if I'm paying this much to make them. Bluetooth I might as well get the Sonys imo
@@0T13 not if you have a se846 or 535, IMO. The Sony are great no doubt but I do believe the TW1 does have a niche.
@@0T13 They're expensive but I think they have the greatest design of all that is available on the market right now. I can't stand those that pop out of the ear or the look of Apple's wireless earphones.
Sony doesn't match Shure for sound quality with the right power supplied IMHO.
Kinda looks like an old hearing aid
@4:38 "I don't claim to be an audiophile" This clown says he isn't an audiophile but is throwing around a pair of Shure SE846 $1000 earphones.
That stupid Apple watch tell me he is those clowns who doesn't know shit but just buy expensive stuff just to show off to others. Probably upgrades his iPhone, iPad, Apple watch every year because he wants to be seen to hold the newest stuff the moment it came out. And he probably made sure people know it is the most expensive option too.
On the other hand, luckily his review is good.
hes obviously not or has not heared good audio these adapters suck I have the se846 and hae the original cable bluetooth 1 and its much louder better bass and lasts much longer
