Introducing Shanling ME800


​

New top model of the ME line, building upon our experience with Shanling ME700 and ME700 Lite.

ME800 keeps the hybrid earphone design, but upgrades it to a six-driver configuration, utilizing combination of four custom balanced armature drivers and two dynamic drivers. Instead of one big dynamic driver of ME700, we are switching to two smaller 6mm dynamic drivers, both of them with a crystal-plated bio-diaphragm.

New feature of the ME800 is a pair of switches, allowing for changes to bass and treble performance, giving you essentially 4 slightly different sound tuning options in a single earphone. Our favourite one is with the treble switch enabled.

We prepared a brand-new cable for ME800, octa-core Fukukawa single crystal copper cable, perfectly matching its tuning and Hi-Fi performance. And for the first time, we added the modular plug system, making it easy to switch between single ended 3.5mm and balanced 2.5mm & 4.4mm.

Choose between Desert or Forest design of handcrafted faceplate.

Available at internationals alongside Shanling M9 in the early January. Try the ME800 & M9 combination, for the High-End Sound experience.

I don't think this will wind up in my price range for quite some time but that's not to say it isn't good value.
The graphs look great, the dual dynamic seems like a good maneuver, the cable and adapters are neat... I like the forest green too. The switches are a neat touch, the graphs look like an accurate explanation of the change to expect, sometimes how much the switches can really change the FR is oversold but these seem like modest and realistic expectations. Useful ones too.

My only experience has been with your DAPs, the M0 (a lot of time) and M3X (briefly). Thoroughly impressed with both, and also with how long your support and update your products. One day I'd love to try your IEMs.

I'll be interested to read impressions!

... and also with how long your support and update your products.

Very good question that also apply to software.
Do you use Shanling Player in your M3X?

... crystal-plated bio-diaphragm

Can someone explain this with engineering terms?
Not sure than even SpaceX has access to this tech/voodoo.

Hello Shanling

I have just acquired Chez Son Vidéo.com the ME800, (I am in France) since Thursday of last week
if the sound is excellent, (I use it with Shanling M9) I have since the first minutes of listening to music sound cuts, (like a bad contact) more or less important on the right side (R) of the cable depending on the "cable touch" on the upper part of it, where this cable enters its MMCX connector.

To confirm this, I installed another MMCX cable (EA Grandioso Black Edition) and there are NO problems, and it works / sound perfectly.

This fully confirms a problem with the original Shanling / Furukawa cable to its right Cable/connector

I made a report on Friday on this problem to the support of Son-Vidéo and I am waiting for news, but I wanted to inform you not knowing if it will be possible to obtain a replacement cable
