With an advanced triple driver design using a single dynamic dual-magnet driver and two Knowles balanced armature drivers the ME500 produces rich, warm, and detailed audio. The dynamic driver of the Shanling ME500 is equipped with an OFC voice coil for tight low-frequency performance, while the dual BA driver delivers a balanced and clear high-to mid response.
For optimal signal transfer, the precision-crafted 8-core silver-plated copper cable improves the resolution and enhances the soundstage dramatically. The housing of the Shanling ME500 is machined from high-density brass that is finished with a mirror polish and then fused with tempered glass.
Hybrid Driver Design
Combining two high-performance Knowles balanced armature drivers with a custom-tuned dynamic driver allows the ME500 to provide high-resolution audio reaching an impressive frequency extension. Balanced, clear, and powerful sound every time you listen.
Premium Silver-Plated Cable
Precision crafted 8-core silver-plated OFC copper cable enhances the signal transfer, while high-quality gold-plated MMCX connectors provide a superior connection which significantly increases longevity.
Precision Machined
High-density brass for the housing of the ME500 is carefully cut from a single block of brass with a special five-axis CNC process. This makes the housing highly stable and offers less vibration and distortion. The durable mirror-finished brass housing is then fused with 2.5D tempered glass for enhanced strength and a beautiful look.
Hi-Res Certification
Shanling ME500 is awarded the sought after Hi-Res certification by the Japanese Audio Association with a frequency response that extends to 40kHz. We recommend using M500 with Shanling Hi-Res certified portable players to experience the full potential of Hi-Res music files.
Customizable Sound
For a tailored personal listening experience the ME500 includes five different ear tips that alter the sound performance. Choose from balanced, bass enhanced, vocal-centric and soundstage silicone ear tips to change the frequency response as desired. For an extra snug fit and enhanced isolation use the memory foam ear tips.
