I've been through quite a few pairs of earphones over the years. Normally I go for reasonably cheap earphones as with constant use they tended not to last long no matter what brand I bought. Last Christmas I asked my parents for a new pair of earphones as my last pair were falling apart.

Sound quality

getting attached to things

My first set of audiophile (kinda) buds. They sound amazing, but the bass is overwhelming in some situations. I can't seem to find the perfect EQ setting that's built into my iPod touch.

Really good headphones. Great sound and really comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Worth every penny I spent on them.

Amazing sound quality; reinforced cables to prevent breakage; comfortable to wear

None

I would like to thank Hifiheadphones for lending me the SE215, and Shure Asia for lending me the SE215 SPE.

Sadly, my puppy (back then) chewed them up as well as the replacement pair I begrudgingly bought after those. Needless to say after $300 and no headphones to show for it, I was reticent about purchasing a new pair. As with the old pairs, these new SE215s can only be heard to be appreciated.

These earphones are really good, great mids and they shine in the treble, bass is good and natural but it doesn't have a strong kick so these are not bass heavy earphones, instead they emphasize more on the mids and the treble. Also they are very loud and good on isolating the outside sound.

Highly isolating for a dynamic-driver set and boasting a smooth and detailed sound signature with an emphasis on bass and mids, the Shure SE215 is poised to be a high-value in the consumer market.

High isolation; solid sound quality with consumer-friendly signature

Detachable cable can be unwieldy and may be uncomfortable for some users

So far these are excellent. I work from home and start work early - these earphones successfully block nearly all the background noise made by 2 noisy kids getting ready to go out to school. The sound is great and the earphones comfortable enough to wear for a couple of hours.

I'm a music lover and choosing a headphone is quietly hard for me,but when I found this headphone, now I can only say , its absolutely perfect for my music. The sounds is perfectly good , it can't harm your ear while listening to your favorite music. Wonderful piece for a simple stuff.

Absolutely amazing and fantastic ; I highly recommend this headphone to all my friends

Nothing can compare how this headphone works; the sounds can't get you annoyed
