I bought the Shure SE315 over the B&W C5 Series 2 that I had intended to order based on the Crutchfield rep's suggestion that the Shure's had better bass reflex. Not sure about that, but the SE315's do have very good bass reflex as well as excellent sound quality in every other aspect....if....

Great sound quality when proper seal is achieved; Well built, detachable/replacable cable; Many tip options provided

More of a process to put in and take out than many others; Near total isolation of outside sound in order to get optimum sound quality; Can be uncomfortable for long term use

The Shure SE315 Sound Isolating Earphones are a solid choice for those who want to invest in quality music makers. These buds block out most ambient noise while locking in loud, well-rounded sound, and, with their numerous ear inserts, you're bound to find ones that fit your ears best.

Great sound quality; Foam ear inserts block out nearly all ambient noise; Get very loud, but not uncomfortable; Cord doesn't tangle often

The Shure SE315's deliver excellent quality for their price when playing anything 320 kb/s or greater. This kind of quality can be found at a lower price with other headphones, but none of them offer the durability and practicality of the SE315's.

Clear and crisp sound, absolutely no distortion. The detachable ear buds are ingenious, so you NEVER have to worry about wrecking your cable by accidentally snagging it, it also allows the earbuds to swivel.

These earphones has the best quality that I have ever used. The buds fit into your hear perfectly and they block out all other sounds. Would DEFINATELY recommend.

Super high quality....even with high gain coming from mixers or any music device you won't hear any clutters...But the first time u open and listen u won't get the fullness of bass...so don't get disappointed...it's takes one week of continuous listening to tune in the bass ports..

The first is a good way to listen with some rather nice earbuds multi sized from Shure. The second a really small TV aerial that can give reception in places without a roof or loft aerial, best of all its easy to move with the TV this from OneForAll

Shure earphones usually receive their due credit when it comes to sound quality, especially high-end models such as the SE535 and SE846. For entry-level models, though, beginner audiophiles often find themselves at...

Great!

The SE315's design and ergonomics are as good as it gets for in-ear-canal headphones without stepping up to custom models. The SE315's sound quality is almost as good as its design, with a neutral balance and great detail, missing only some bass impact and the superior amount of detail found in the...
