Specifications

Price (US)$169 US price $169.00 confirmed from two fetched retailer pages accessed 2026-07-07: canalsoundlight.com stated "Our Price: $169.00" and audio46.com listed "US $169.00" (out of stock). Manufacturer MSRP did not render on the fetched shure.com page and Best Buy/Amazon/Sweetwater/B&H were unreachable (timeout/403/bot-wall), so $169.00 is the sourced retailer figure rather than a confirmed Shure MSRP. Re-fetch 2026-07-08 reconfirmed "Our Price: $ 169.00" on canalsoundlight.com.
