Shanling ME800 is Shanling’s top model in the ME IEM line, built on a six-driver hybrid architecture that combines four custom balanced armature drivers with two 6mm dynamic drivers using crystal-plated bio-diaphragms. It adds two tuning switches for four sound profiles, a 3D-printed ergonomic shell, handcrafted faceplates, MMCX connectors, and an octa-core Furukawa single-crystal copper cable with interchangeable 2.5mm, 3.5mm, and 4.4mm plugs. Shanling announced it with an MSRP of 779 USD/EUR and offered Desert and Forest faceplate versions.
