Shure's consumer products use many of the same technologies as the company's famous stage equipment, but this lifts many of Shure's headphones above the budget of most non-enthusiasts.

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.

The SE 215 by Shure is definitely a step up from the standard earphones out there. Great clear sound and bass putting out a solid 100 db. Thick high quality cord that's about a foot to long and plugs that are removable to clean and change out with the included new sleeves.

Perfect with top brand portable music devices

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.

Worth every penny I spent on them.

I have cauliflower ears so I was worries that these wouldn't fit, but changing to the smaller earbud meant they fit just fine.

These headphones offer astounding sound quality in comparison to like priced models. I would rate these headphones as entry level to the audiophile market, and very high on the consumer market.

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 always tend to really shop around before investing in any electrical products. I was looking for some earphones which were noise cancelling and comfortable and decided on these. I have owned a pair of Shure earphones before (the E2Cs) so i know that shure are worth the money.
