Japanese manufacturer Shure topped its previous inventions with the SE846, which launched just in time to commemorate the company’s 88th anniversary. The new model will deliver music more punchy and pungently than before, while maintaining its smoothness without sounding unnatural. The ear buds contain ten steel plates to produce deep accurate bass. While competing brands cancel out roughly 26 decibels of ambient noise, the SE 846 isolates up to 37 decibels of noise. It is considered revolutionary technology in the flagship ear buds industry. Another feature is that it allows users to [customize the sound they want](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-aurvana-ace-3-earbuds): users can choose from three treble profiles—balanced, warm or bright—depending on their mood. The finishing touch of the ear buds’ transparent casing makes it clear that the SE846’s engineering is intricate and high-quality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Precision Sound Engineering:** The trend of engineering ear buds for utmost precision in sound quality provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the audio technology industry. - **Enhanced Noise Isolation:** The trend of achieving higher levels of noise isolation in ear buds opens up disruptive innovation possibilities for the audio accessories industry. - **Customizable Sound Profiles:** The trend of offering customizable sound profiles in ear buds presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the personal audio industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Audio Technology:** The audio technology industry can leverage the trend of precision sound engineering and enhanced noise isolation in ear buds to drive disruptive innovation. - **Audio Accessories:** The trend of achieving higher levels of noise isolation in ear buds provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the audio accessories industry. - **Personal Audio:** The personal audio industry can capitalize on the trend of offering customizable sound profiles in ear buds to drive disruptive innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ambient Noise-Filtering Wireless Earphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noisefiltering-wireless-earphone.md) - [Fine-Tuned Aluminum Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/technics-earbuds.md) - [High-Performance Tuned Monitor Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inear-monitor-earphones.md) - [Upgraded Noise-Cancelling Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quietcomfort-ultra-earbuds-2nd-gen.md) - [Adaptive Audio Performance Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bose-quietcomfort-ultra-earbuds.md) - [Advanced Acoustic Architecture Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/master-dynamic-mw09.md) - [Advanced ANC Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beoplay-eleven.md) - [Revolutionary In-Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolutionary-inear-monitors.md) - [Immersive Spatial Audio Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jlab-epic-lab-edition.md)
