Applications:
A storied 85-year lineage manufacturing electronics and high-end pro audio gear is nicely brought to bear on the excellent Shure SE215 in-ears, a smooth-sounding earphone hankering for your iPod, iPad MP3 player, smartphone or other mobile music source. Featuring Shure's own dynamic 'MicroDriver' single speaker armature, the attractive pricing makes the SE215 an unparalled choice for music lovers seeking serious quality listening to go. Well-textured and nicely thumpy in the lows (measuring down to 22 Hz in the audio lab), the all-important midrange frequencies remain simple and well-focused, so vocal intelligibility should be excellent for singer/songwriter genres and jazz vocal or classic rock recordings. The within-reach cost of the SE215 makes them attractive not only for serious professional music monitoring but also for top-shelf private personal listening while moving out and about with excellent isolation. Remember to purchase Shure after-market SE215 cables with a 'built-in' mic + controller for iPhone use or for other smartphones.
The personalization fit kit included with the Shure SE215 stereo headset is very well laid-out and contains 6 pairs of eartips in total -- either foam type or soft silicon material -- with S/M/L sizing for each. The included protective Shure storage / travel case is another big plus in the handy accessories department. The comforting 2-year free 'repair or replace' manufacturer's product warranty is serviced by Shure in Chicago ONLY with your HeadRoom 'authorized dealer' proof-of purchase receipt. Please keep in mind eBay and Amazon purchases from any non-authorized Shure vendor(s) will void all free manufacturer's warranties!

Pros: Can't hear any outside noise
Cons: Can't hear any outside noise
I came across this article recommending the Shure SE215 for great sound quality and security in ear. I have always used cheap earphones that you can buy at the gym or Target so I was not familiar with the more high end products like Shure, Etymotic and Klipsch. My friend Lauren owns an audio supply company and gave me some Shure SE215 earphones to try out.
Immediately out of the box you can see and appreciate the quality of these earphones. They have 3 basic parts. 1. Ear foam acts like an earplug and blocks out almost all noise. 2. The driver produces the sound
3. The cord that attaches the driver to your music of choice.
After a 5 mile run the earphones are solidly in place. I never had to adjust them at all. I have found that the key to success with these ear phones is the fit of the earplug part. They come with 6 different sizes to fit any ear canal, so fitting should not be a problem for most people.
3 sizes foam and 3 sizes rubber and 1 tool for cleaning out the driver canal.
The noise isolation is really great with these earphones as well. I have used a pair of Beats Studio headphones and these earphones block an equal amount of ambient noise for 1/3 the price. The SE215 would be great to use on an airplane or anywhere you don't want people to bother you.
With the good sound isolation comes one drawback. They act like earplugs, so you can hear everything in your head. It is impossible to use these earphones while eating, the sound of your own chewing is immense. While running there is also a constant boom boom boom with every footfall, this may be distracting for some, it was easy for me to ignore.
Overall these are some really great earphones and I would recommend them to anyone who wants great sound and good sound isolation. Buy them here:http://www.getavproducts.com/audio-and-sound/headphones/shure-se215-k-sound-isolating-earphones.html

Pros: Comfort, sound, value, versatility
Cons: none
The Shure's are designed to listen to music the way it was meant to sound. Good bass, but it doesn't drown. I like bass, but not thumping. These had perfect bass; better than the Etomotic.
The Micro driver is fantastic!!!! Highs are clear, but don't scream. There is no need to pull the ear open when putting them in now. The new fit where they just hold in front of the ear, is perfect.
The sound isolation is even better than before. I go to hockey games, and take the subway. I was on the subway full of rowdy kids. I didn't even have my volume up that loud, and I couldn't hear them at all. I actually tried. When I took my headphones out, the kids were really loud. I was amazed!
If you are looking for high-end sound, at a good price.....look no further than the SE215
