Shure SE215-CL 4-stars Reviews

Very good IEM

Sits well with the foam inserts, which expand like earplugs and keep loud stage levels quite well. Sound quality is very good, to my liking :-) Cable is of high quality and easily replaceable if necessary.

Con: The cable is too stiff for my liking, which can be a small nuisance around the ear area.

i recommend

I already tried before buying they are great for backing, lead and harmonising

good for it's price

For the times i'm using it in musical shows it does his job well. Still payable if you compare it with custom earplugs

Great sound isolation when used properly

Very good sound isolation, I've put them through their paces over the last 18 months and the cable does need replacing at this stage but I will be buying them again and keeping the old ones for spare parts as I've found them great. Once you get a handle on putting them on properly they're fantastic

Noise insulation perfect, comfort improvable

The noise insulation is perfect but the comfort could be improved, having trouble to get them fixed properly behind the ears but this can also be a personal thing. All in all I recommend this product very much!

Shure SE215-CL

The Shure SE215-CL are practical and inexpensive IEM's perfect for beginners. They come with 3 different size of buds, and 2 different materials (6 in total) so you can find your perfect size. The tool for cleaning the IEMs are very useful. They are not the greatest sound but if you look at the price of IEMs that acceptable. I would recommend because hearing protection is paramount for a live musician. If you can, i would recommend you get impressions made for moulded IEMs.

NOTE - I am not sure what Außengeräuschisolierung is (in the ratings) So i gave it one star.

Decent

Great value for money. BUT you have to crank them to really isolate from noisy room and they sound a bit harsh at louder volumes. My ears aren't as fatigued as would be without them, but after 4h rehearsal it's not perfect. Still, great for the price.

great headphones for the money

I usualy use Shure SE 215 in ear heaphones when playing with my friend an acoustic gig. Those in ear headphones are very heplfull when youre playing in problematic sounding rooms and halls, and you need a clean vox and guitar just to hear what youre playing and singing. Sounc could be better (especially how it reproduce the sound of an wired acoustic guitar) but its good enough! Unfortunatlly, after one year of use, something broke in the left speaker so I need to send it back.

The comfort problem is probably unavoidable

I use these to monitor my sound from my Boss RC-300 loop pedal. I really like that they are small and light, but I suspect most people might find the way they fit in the ear takes some getting used to. Nevertheless, I think the excellent sound is worth the slight discomfort. And I have gotten more used to them as I use them.

Decent In Ears

Great attenuation. Lacking a bit in the high end but you'll have that with single driver. Worth what I paid for them definitely.

Great for the price

I've used these on and off stage, as well for playing my music with the band as well as for just listening to music on the go.

For the price I paid, I'm happy, BUT the quality is not top of the line and super amazing and all that. They sound quite harsh and mine are lacking a bit in the low low bass department. It's nothing horrible but when I'm playing I do tend to Lo-Pass lightly to protect my ears.

Comfort-wise they're fine, again, they do their job but I do have to take them out from time to time.

Ya know, they only cost 110 bucks, if you're looking for a first set of in-ears, get em'. I've been using mine for 2 years and they have served me well !

Do the job well

Feel like they'll last a long time. Sound quality is good, and they block out the outside world very well. Once I put the smaller earpieces on they're pretty comfortable, I've played for over an hour without really noticing them.

Great for the price

Great in-ear for the price. Good bass and great sound! The tool for picking out earwax come in really handy as you often get a lot of wax in them :-)

Shure SE215-CL

Shure SE215-CL are my first IEM experience. As a bass guitar player playing in a very loud function band, my primary concern was hear protection while keeping good monitoring sound, and finding out what does it feel like when playing live with IEMs.

Bass players do know that finding phones which work good with bass guitar can be somewhat tricky, and good result usualy require multy-driver solution which means big money expense

Despite of that, I decided to start with entry level phones, and so far, after 3 gigs, I didn't regret. I can hear all the instruments clearly, sound is good, not excelent, they lack in low middles somewhat, so I have to add my bass guitar signal volume to hear myself properly.

Alltogether, much better than heavy noise my band produces on the stage.

My gigs ussually last 2x 1,5 hrs, and I dont find the phones to be uncomfortable in any way.

So far I'm satisfied and i like IEM concept generally, but I do plan upgrade to a high end phones with custom mold. Not because I find it necessary, but all of my gear is on the higher and side. I don't mind spending extra buck to protect my hearing and improve playing plaeasure.

ps, Se215s are also very nice for listening music. They have EQ curve, definitely not HiFi or neutral sounding but much better than any stock phones.

Great build and comfort, clear highs but a bit weak lows

Used them for listening to music, didn't get to use them live yet. Very clear sound, easy to wear, great for jogging.

Nice entry to the SE series

Our band has used SE-215 for live monitoring for 5 years.

I have not found better sounding in-ear headphones for that price however there are some features that could be better.

The cable is removeable. There are pros and cons with this. When you have many pairs of broken SE-215 then it?s possible to put together a working pair by switching the cables. The bad thing about this is that the removeable connection is in my experience the most vulnerable side about SE-215.

A bass player could do better with one or two drivers more as SE-215 does not produce bass that good.

I like the stiff part of the cable that can be bent over the ears. Keeps the headphones from popping out even when jumping around.

Overall the sound and built is decent for the price.

Good choice, if you can't afford molded ones

I got my hands on a T.Bone IEM 75 system and naturally I was expecting the out of the box earphones to be... well, not quite suitable for the job. Truth is, the supplied earphones don't sound too bad, I'm using them now to "daily" activities such as ipod listening, but they keep dropping from their position with the slightest movement.

So, I found myself in need of a more suitable set of earphones for IEM purposes. After some digging around I noticed that the Shure SE215-CL had overall better comments so those were the ones I've got. The best thing about them is how good they fit into your ear, thus having a direct impact on how well they seal, maximizing low frequency delivery.

In terms of sound, I didn't find them to be amazing, just simply good. I haven't tried IEM-purpose earphones before, so I don't know if the spectrum of frequencies they deliver is supposed to facilitate specially the middle ones; if that's the case, they my bad, they do exactly as they're supposed to. If not, I would say the that the range of frequencies they deliver in practice feels a bit limited, as in "could be richer" rather than "sounds pretty bad".

The SE215-CL are very comfortable. The provided isolating sleeves work marvelously. The construction feels very professional, and the flexible cable allows for easy placement and performance.

Shure SE215's

I've been using these as earbuds for an on-stage IEM setup and for the money I've been very pleased with the performance.

Sound quality is good, and you can block out a reasonable amount of the ambient stage noise (drums in my case) whilst still being able to hear your vocals through the monitor mix.

I would recommend taking the time to experiment with the supplied tips to obtain the best fit for your ears in terms of comfort and sound isolation.

The supplied carrying case is reasonable and means that you can keep every thing clean and safe when transporting them.

Good however sometimes uncomfortable.

Overall a good in-ear however the hard plastic casing and awkward shape, make them sometimes uncomfortable in your ears for long periods. Probably depends on ear shape.

Exceptional Value

I bought these because my church has recently moved to a in-ear monitoring system, they had good reviews, and they didn't cost the earth. I am very impressed. Using the foam-like buds they form a very good seal (I can stand next to a drum kit and not hear it!) . The sound quality is excellent - not too much low end, and a nice balanced middle and high end. But most of all they are very robustly made, and the cable is replaceable, not that I have had any need to do this (nor any concern). I'm sure the next models up in this range are great, but I just don't really see the need because at this price, the Shure SE215's are unbeatable.
