Shure SE215-CL 5-stars Reviews

Great sound , look good and reasonably priced

we bought these for our piano player/lead vocalist. He needed a good acoustic seal as he sits right next to the drummer. Surprisingly good low end performance for a single driver. Good clear highs also. The cable is so much sturdier than the alternatives we considered. The detachable cable is especially useful if it ever needs replaced so no need to buy a complete new set of ear phones. A useful carry case with belt clip is included together with cleaning tool and spare ear buds.

fitting the ear phones snugly and tightly into your ear takes a bit of practice and patience but once correctly in place you won't regret choosing the SE215 s.

Very good entry level inears

I am using these inears for keyboard monitoring. Originally I planned to invest way more money for custom inears, but then I decided to try out the SE215 first. I figured if I don't like them, I will not loose too much money. But if I like them, I will save a lot.

So the bottom line: I like them very much.

The build quality is very good. They have a nice size that fits my ears quite well. The thick cable can be formed to fit around your ear. I am using the medium foam ear pieces and at first I thought that they felt a bit uncomfortable, but I adjusted to this and after about 2 hours and now I like the fit of the foam. Even after 2 to 3 hours of wearing them, my ears don't hurt.

The noise isolation is excellent. You don't need to turn up the volume on a loud stage.

I do also like the sound of these earphones. The bass is very strong but has a lot of definition. Midrange is good, I can hear voices clearly. Highs could be a little stronger in my opinion, but maybe they would then be too aggressive. The sound of the earphones can be shaped with an eq very well.

All in all, buying these phones has saved me a great deal of money. I definitely don't need to upgrade to custom inears in the near or medium future.

perfect

these inears are perfect for my needs as a live drummer. I've had no issues so far (been using them for about 9 months). They wear nicely and deliver a very rounded an precise sound. Cancelling of surround sound is almost like wearing decent foam ear plugs. What is very important: the drums sound good through them even without signal from the mixer.

It took me a while to find out how to insert them into the ear, though. To tell left from right is pretty difficult in stage light, too (small red an blue dots). I would stick a piece of gaffer on the left side to tell them apart. Maybe Shure could do something like it?

Great Headphones for great price

Hi!

At first i would like to excuse my insufficient English skills.

I'm from germany, but i'll do my best, so that you can understand my opinion on this product.

It took me a long time to choose a price range.

At last i decided to spend 100-150€.

I compared the Shure Se 215 + Shure 315 + tBone Ep7 and the Se 215 won, but why?

All 3 In-Ear Headphones sound great, so you'll propably be happy with each one of them :) But i'll try to compare them.

The tBones have a great sound in the lows.

The bass is very direct and deep.

Mids + Highs are ok.

They look pretty good.

The Se 315 have a bit less bass .

But for me it seems like the high frequencies are a bit clearer and better.

The Se 215 sounds very very similar.

There's only a bit less resolution.

They sound only a tiny bit "muffled " compared to the 315.

But I got the impression, that the bass in the 215 is a bit more present than in the se 315 ( even it's not that clear).

For me the tBones have 2 problems :

- You can't change the cable ( when the cable is broken, you have to buy completely new ones)

- You can't bend the cable to you ears that good.

That's why they lost.

The difference between the 215 + 315 were very slight.

That's why i decided to use the 215, and i did not regret that.

Btw the 215 are also great headphones for listening to music.

A very clear sound :)

I hope you understand everything.

If you want to spend only a few money but you want to have good quality, you should go for the Se215.

Recommended!

Have had these earphones for a few days now (would have been longer but first pair were faulty) and they are proving to be extremely useful!

Bought them so I would be able to hear my acoustic guitar and vocals when doing live performances (monitoring) and Ive got to say they work a charm. They cut out a lot of the background noise due to the foam styled ear pieces which I have found helps protect my hearing from other on stage loudness and the quality that comes through is very good.

They have a great bass response and everything sounds so clear and natural.

I use them as part of a cheap wired in ear monitoring solution and they seem to fit that purpose well. However, due to the amount of noise they block out, I would NOT recommend using them to listen to music whilst running/jogging etc. I can listen to music on my phone with them and not hear what someone stood directly in front of me is saying at all...

Other than that they're absolutely fantastic for the price and once you get used to them they're really easy to fit in the ear.

A superb product

These are truly excellent In Ear Monitors (IEMS).

They may not be as pricey as most other models and makes but they are absolutely awesome. These are my first IEMS so I was blown away by the comfort and sound.

First I recommend, if you are having trouble with them that you try some of the different tips that come with them. Lots of people like the 'triple flange' type that you can buy separately (not included). I cannot comment on these as I have not tried them. For me personally the 'standard' rubber ones were ok but the small silicon type were perfect. They squish into your ear without having to 'smush' them down to fit.

The sound quality - WOW! It was like the singers are in my head! I purchased these primarily for stage use but I have started using these on the bus - even better. They totally block out the noise so all you can here is music. You can get totally absorbed. You can hear symbols and all sorts that you may not have heard previously.

Sound isolation - incredible. One of the bands I play in rehearse in a very small room with a very loud drummer - no more ringing ears! The drums still get through, but that might be bleed from the microphones. For example - with the IEMS in but no music playing I can just about hear somebody talking next to me. With music playing no way. I watched a film with them in and I could not hear my family calling me.

In short these are really good IEMS for stage or just music. If you want to get into IEMS without breaking the bank these are the ones to get! I thought I would like custom moulded IEMS eventually, but these will last me a lot longer than I thought.

Awesome sound and great noise cancelling

I use IEMs for DJing. These sound superb and well balanced. Once they're in my ears they're comfortable, although the stiff wires sometimes bother me as I move my head around. I find I need to take my IEMs in and out quite frequently to speak to people, and these are a bit fiddly to do so quickly. I also use them with my MP3 player, where they give a really nice, involving sound. Recommended as long as you don't need to take them on and off every few minutes!

Can't beat them for the price!

I'm a drummer and bought these mainly for noise canceling and listening to a metronome while practicing. They do exactly what they say. Excellent noise canceling and the sound quality is pretty dam good for the price. Really have nothing bad to say about them. You get more then you pay for in my opinion.

Fantastic sound and performance for the price

I've found these in-ear monitors to be fantastic for the price paid. The variety of included tips meant it was easy to find something that was just the right fit. After a few attempts to form the over-ear portion of the cable into just the right shape it was perfect, and the monitors sit snugly into the ear and also provide a good level of background noise cancellation. The frequency response is wide and flat and better than anything else I've heard in the price range.
