Feel like they want to fall off

I got them to replace the typical over ear "cans" for monitoring my vocals and instruments in my band while rehearsing or recording. The sound quality is excellent but the way the wires are supposed to hook around the ears make me feel like they're always going to come off. The 1st inch or two of lead wire that comes out of the actual transducers is semi rigid and I guess you're supposed to bend it around the back of your ears. I'd feel better if there was some sort of clipping mechanism or just have that wires drape down. I'll probably just use them with my iPhone to listen to music. Read full review

Bought these to get away from ear buds for IEM on stage.

When you buy these you must realize some key issues. One size does NOT fit all. I had to change the tips and try several til I found the right fit. Secondly, You have to pay close attention to details. There is a very small colored dot on each piece; Red for right blue for left. You have to mold the ear piece around your ear to hold the unit in place. Seems there could be a better fitting set without paying several hundred dollars for them! I am considering a different set that is molded to fit the ear. Read full review

Tough and durable

I bought these to replace my Etymotics HF-5. The wires had worn out from daily use at the gym. The sound is nowhere near the quality of the Etymotics, but the are acceptable. Getting them to fit with a good seal was a challenge but I ended up with the cords over the ears and the original foam pieces. I chose the SE215s because of the rugged teflon cord so I shouldn't need to replace them as quickly as the HF-5. The cord is stiff and is a bit difficult to work with. Also, there is not clip provided to keep the cord out of the way while exercising. Others had mentioned that these needed a break-in period where the sound quality improves. I was skeptical, but the sound did become warmer and more balanced after several days of use.

Pros:
Durable
Good Sound

Cons:
Bulky earpieces are difficult to set properly in ear.
Stiff cord can be difficult to position.

Shure SE215 in-ear buds

If you just need a good set of basic in-ears and don't have the $$ for custom molded monitors, grab a set of these and "on with the show".
They could use a little more bass response, but for the price they are very good. You can get a little better frequency response by playing with the EQ in your mix - if you want more frequency seperation and depth then break down and buy something that's way more expensive. Enjoy !Read full review

High quality from Shure

These earphones are typical high quality from Shure. Good sound. I like the fact that the buds can detach from the wire, since the reason I had to buy them is that a permanently attached wire broke on my previous pair of E4's after a few years of use, rendering them useless. My only issue with these is that they are a little bit difficult to get in your ears at first because of the shape. They are probably shaped this way, however, so that they lay more flat in your outer ear once you do get them in - so they are less noticeable.Read full review

Shure SE 215

We use Carvin wireless systems in our band and I was using the earbuds that came with the system. After the wire had s run in with s doorknob I needed to replace them. I researched by reading reviews and decided to try the Shures...They are stellar.. I'm the lead singer in a rock band.. Journey, Zep etc ..my voice sounds crystal clear through these monitors. I'm out in front of all the other sounds. Plus the added benefit of reducing ambient sound by a bunch.. Can't go wrong with these at less than $100.00Read full review

Very professional

These are really set apart from normal earbuds. They are tailored to fit in your ear with special cushioning, and around any size ear with moldable wiring. After set correctly, they won't budge! The sound quality is great even for drummers in a plexi-cage. I can hear what I'm doing, but it doesn't drown out my monitor (or vice versa). The earbuds are detachable for individual replacement, which is great. The whole unit seems solid and very well made. No real complaints at all. Great product!Read full review

Better then Expected.

Very good sound quality. It is not NOISE CANCELLING, but it blocks almost all outside noise due to its design. I work on a very loud environment, bu I don't need to have my music too loud. Great on airplanes.
Easy to set up, to turn on and off too.
Charge lasts about 6 hours.

Surprisingly articulate

I've used quite a few ear buds in the past that always fell short of the worst headphones I've used but these earphones are pretty good. I'm not missing anything and wondering how much better the higher end earphones are in this manufacturers line. Incredible!

Have to admit I started experimenting with the earplug ends since mines only came with one pair. I put a hole through some foam earplugs you get from the drugstore and installed on each earphone to get more soundproofing and they worked. I will be ordering some new tips though.

Not to mention the convenience of having connectors which you can change instead of having unusable earphone which are rendered useless if you accidentally catch the line on something and stretch or break the line. These can be replaced.

Great product!

For anyone unsure about investing this much into a set of in-ears because they've gotten by on decent department store, $20 headsets, I'd say take the leap. The sound is a lot nicer than any skull candy or other "cost effective" brands earphones, and the comfort is like a glove once you get the right insert selected and give them a couple of uses. I have friends who rave about having upgraded, too, so I look forward til that, but for now, these are fantastic for both casual, home use, and in getting started to perform on stage.Read full review
