With over 80 years experience in the audio electronics business, Shure has established a solid reputation among the tricky audiophile audience, the SE315's sit in the middle of the company's range.

The SE315s sit at the top of their subset of Shure's earphone range, being the most expensive and - one would hope - best-sounding of the company's single-driver products. Like the rest of Shure's SExx5 products the revamped SE315s improve over the SE310s with a more solid construction, a few design...

I've had an excellent experience with Shure in-ear headphones. The last pair of 31x headphones I had from them lasted a good 5 years with only one replacement of the extension cable.
