Our review of the Shure KSE1200 system can be found here ; an overall excellent system with world-class technicalities!

New to the KSE1500, using line in from my dac. Using the grey (is that “olive”?) tips right now, and find that the treble doesn’t extend enough (violins missing the high harmonics, and cymbals sound muted). Is the grey tips known for little treble, or is that how the KSE1500 is?

(I do have a lot of good things to say about the KSE1500, but I need to get the treble out of the way )

The Olives aren't the best tip for treble extension (no, the KSE isn't missing this). For me, the most treble-y are the yellow foamies or Spinfit

and comply in my opinion

I don't think there anything out there in terms of IEM that can touch the KSE1200/KSE1500 in regards to speed. That is impressive considering I also own both Stax SR-001 MK2 and the SR-003 MK2

How do KSE generally compare with 003mk2? Worth x4 price hike?

My KS1200s will arrive in a few days (I couldn’t resist the prime days deal). What do you guys use to keep these beauties safe? Any case you can recommend for these? I took a look at this thread’s gallery and found some great ideas but would love to see some more pictures to keep the hype alive

Congrats! That was an awesome deal.

The square, zipper case that they come with works well for me. It's a little on the big side, but I know they're well protected.

I use this, its an external hard disk case which is rigid and internally padded and is large enough to store and protect both the IEMs and the amplifier and also has a net pouch to store (in my case) a CCK and Dragonfly Cobalt DAC, if the connection cable you use to connect the amplifier to your source is flexible enough (mine isnt unfortunately) you could store that in the pouch.

It originally comes with a padded flap between the two sections which I simply cut out to free up a little bit more space.

Works a treat, big enough so that the equipment isn't squashed but tight enough so it doesn't slide around inside.

Though on the bulkier side, this solution can comfortably fit the KSE1200, a mid size DAP like the PAW6000 as well as various connectors as needed.

Just my occasional reminder that these things are INSANE!!!!! I’m starting to think the KSE are actually better than equipment that captured the music in the first place. They are the gift that keep on giving. The levels of natural detail are off the charts. I honestly can’t believe what I’m hearing at times.

1200 with a better dac is even better!

I use the mojo, I keep getting tempted by the poly to add to it. What do you use?

Agree

I’m using the audioquest dragonfly cobalt through a nordost ikable connection but sometimes pair them to my chord hugo2 with the same ikable. Insanely good.

This is my work setup. Love it! Such a tight, portable hi-fi system. Use command strips to stick the amp and Moly together cleanly. The high price of the Poly blows, but worth it for me in the end. My only contention has been Chord has never delivered on Casting for Google/Android devices, but I have a secondary iPhone that I can AirPlay to the Poly.
