Shure SE215 In-Ear only Headphones - Black

Not a review - just a comment ...

Legendary Shure performance at such a reasonable price.
Solid bass, well defined transients, almost flat in response and not too coloured top or bottom.
Isolation is quoted at up to 30db and I think the specs add up in use.
Comfort is always a concern and the SE's earbuds are not without their issues but on a typical night's gig of three sets with breaks, taking them out for 15 to 20 minutes gives enough relief from any discomfort.
Keep yer lugs (ears) wax free n super clean as the bud tips can become clogged quickly.
That's it - a great set of in-ear headphones that I would recommend to anybody needing good sound reproduction and noise isolation.Read full review

Bad quality and the length of the lead broke within two days, used the other ones and then cracked really badly.

I believe they were not worth the value as they were fake batch or a really bad batch. The leads broke so easily it was bad quality and sound was bad sand left ear piece would work.

It was a few months ago and within two weeks it broke. Both leads and the volume control and to skip ahead or rewind did not work. The cables brokenand ear price split open after a month and left ear piece had no sound. Disappointed.

Outstanding sound quality for the money

If sound quality is all you care about in the pair of 'phones and you're on a budget, look no further. Sure, you don't get fancy packaging and the cables are cheap PVC. They're not particularly light or comfortable either. That being said, they are supplied with a good range of ear tips to suit different sized ears, so it is possible to get they fitting reasonably well. However, where these 'phones really excel is in how they sound: they are very good indeed, and produce a level of detail and accuracy that, frankly, I didn't realise was possible at this price point (N.B, I'm comparing them with £2k studio monitor speakers) Bass is a little over-blown but it seems churlish to criticise because everything else is so well presented. What's most pleasing to me is the lack of distortion at the top end, which results in a very clear and open sound. The only possible downside here is that they're ruthless with less-than-perfect recordings!Read full review

Great in-ear 'phones!

I wanted an audiophile level in-ear headphone which keeps external noise intrusion to a minimum - without spending £100's. The SE215's do the job very well. The depth and clarity of the sound is great, and they sit in the earlobe very well (although getting used to them, including wrapping the cable around my ear, was interesting!). They come with six different sized and types of buds (and you can get other styles online if these don't work for you). And the price ( 40% off RRP) was brilliant...Read full review

Very god earphones

I have previously had a pair of Shure SE112s which served me well until my daughter got hold of them and refused to give them back!

Had a good look at alternatives from various top brands but in all comparisons, the Shoe SE215s were best in class. initially they may be slightly odd to put on but if you have not had these kind of earphones you will get used to them.Read full review

Surprisingly good sound quality.

Incredible sound quality, especially bass. I am a drummer and use them on stage. Bass drum is awesome as long as you keep the phones fully in your ears. Cut down on stage sound too. I wish they were around 30 years ago, I wouldn’t be so deaf! Lol.Read full review

Excellent quality at a reasonable price

As Shure's entry-to-in-ear-monitoring product you might expect the SE215's to be less robust than more expensive offerings, yet they are solidly constructed and share common features such as a detachable cable.

While I haven't been in a position to directly compare the audio quality with other IEMs they stack up well against my Sennheiser over ears but, as you might expect, can vary in bass response depending on the position and snugness of fit.

They come well packaged and with a choice of 3 differently sized foam and silicon ear buds. I would have preferred a slightly longer cable to be supplied, and there's no 3/5mm - 1/4" adapter, but the quality of all the parts seems well manufactured.Read full review

Shure SE215

Bought this as an alternative to the SONY to use on long haul international flights which I have to do regularly. It certainly outperforms the SONY in terms of audio quality and in shutting out ambient noise that one gets in an aircraft cabin. Would have given it a 5 star had it not been for how fiddly it can be to put them on for the first few times. All in all, I'm rather impressed with the product.Read full review

BVery good in-ear phones

Bought these as a present for my wife. The cable goes behind your ear and once you get the hang of this you will enjoy the great sound. Use smaller buds to get them well into your ear. Happy with the purchase.Read full review
