The Shure SE215 headphones are honestly one of the best pairs of headphones I have ever used. The sound quality is fantastic and the noise isolation works really well. Plus, once you get used to the different way they fit in your ears, they are very comfortable. 10/10 Would Recommend

I bought these to replace a slightly cheaper no-name pair. I use them for monitoring in a live performance situation. The difference was night and day. The earpiece is sized to keep the inserts well into your ear. If you are presently using some consumer grade earbuds for this purpose, I cannot recomm no these highly enough. Best for the price.

Great universal fit IEM. I use these monitors many times per week and have had a pleasant expirience. I found the fitting that works best for me and it holds a solid seal with good noise isolation. Sound is crisp as well. Only con, is the hard plastic starts to irritate if i have the monitors in for a couple hours. you can get a speaker cable attachment but it doesnt have the memory cable over the ears

These headphones are great for drummers. They stay in your ear even when you sweat. I use the foam type of earplugs because it is just like putting ear foams in my ear. I squeeze the foam and put them in and when it expands it fills my ear completely to give a full sound. You really get what you pay for. My keyboard player has the dre beats and I couldn't tell much of a difference between them. they both sound awesome.

excellent sound quality and isolation

Reviewed by Daniel on B&H Photo Video

These are my third pair of Shure 215s. Gave the last pair away. Bought new ones. These earphones provide excellent isolation from outside sound AND great fidelity. The key is to get a good seal in your ear and that can take a bit of experimenting with the wires. Once its right the sound fills out (great bass response and detail) and the outside sounds disappear. I also recommend using the white silicone flange tips, which you may have to buy separately.

I'm not an audiophile, but I've owned a few pairs of earphones from $20 to $150 range over the years. I love the sound quality of this earphone. My only complaint is that I have trouble putting the earphones on. It's not as effortless as they show in demos. I tried switching the earfoam to 1 size smaller, but then it doesnt sit properly. I guess it may take time for me to get use to putting these on .

While I am not an expert in sound reproduction quality, I am an expert at wearing earbuds and can confirm these work as advertised. The sound is clean and true to my ear with a tiny bit of pushed up bass but nothing that distracts. The only con for me is that I can't seem to make the looping backward aspect of the cord work to hook over my ear and they keep unhooking.

I wanted a pair of sound-isolating earphones to use when I cut the grass. It takes me about two hours to cut the lawn- these are a welcome addition. I don't have to turn them up very loud and I still feel like my hearing is being protected. Not quite as easy to get in as the foam earplugs I have always used, but not a big deal.

The Shure quality all the way

These are great inexpensive in-ear personal monitors. I use them with the Shure PSM200 body pack receiver and it makes a world of a difference. Must have item for any live vocalist. I also use it as regular headphones when on the subway or on the road and the way it reduces outside noise is amazing. I can listen on lower volume and still hear great and clear.

Great sounding earbuds for the price. Good frequency response and you can push them pretty hard before distortion occurs. Once you get them in, they don't fall out, but there is a definite learning curve to getting them in properly. It would be nice if they made the red dot on the right side larger and more distinctive, especially in low light situations.

I think these are okay. They sound good, but are very large and bulky. My old headphones cost about the same and also sound good at half the size. The cable seems thicker and the in-ear part seems large. The headphone jack is too large to fit in the headphone plug while the phone case on the phone. Don't hate them. Don't love them either.

I use these earbuds as in-ear monitors, using a small Mackie mixer. Plug the monitor feed into the line in on the mixer, plug the headphones into the headphone out and voila! Inexpensive (wired) IEMs. Great sound, great fit, all the quality of a much more expensive set for a fraction of the price. Would buy again.

Once fitted in ears it stays there. Very good deep bass. I use these while on the bus or train but also when I am out running. Some caution is in place since the outside word is very much muted using these earphones.The cords seems extreamly durable and are quite long and that fits my needs. I have ruined many earphones because of thin, fragile cords.

I would definitely purchase this item again

Headphone driver broke after 1 year on my first pair and 1.5 years on the second (and this appears to be super common from other reviews). I tried to return my second pair for warranty repair and shure refused to pay for return shipment and insists you use UPS or FedEx to return (costing $25) which is ridiculous. I used USPS since one earphone isn't worth $25 and the envelope allegedly tore and lost one of the two earphones and and thus shure refused to repair it. DO NOT BUY THESE perhaps shure makes better high end headphones but after two pairs of these broke and had terrible customer service I will not be giving this company any more business. ... More
