SE215 Sound Isolating Earphones

The Shure se215s are an EXCELLENT option for any serious studio or stage monitoring work. I first used them nearly 15 years ago in a live setting with Shure’s wireless in-ear system. I never really thought much of them except that they sounded pretty good and would mostly stay in with my thrashing around the stage. Recently I was looking for a pair of wired earbuds for monitoring while traveling and I was pretty sure a mixer/producer friend was using these. We spoke about them and he told me he starts all his serious mixing tasks on these. I trust his ears and how right was he about these. These are the most accurate monitoring devices I’ve ever used. The have detailed flat bass response with crystal clear frequency response throughout and they are very comfortable. I haven’t had ear fatigue or discomfort from these yet. I’ve completely stopped using my Audio Technica ATH-M50s because these sound so much better. I’m able to hear into the mix more in my own work and also just listening to a streaming service as well. These earbuds make listening to music fun. More fun than it used to be and I nearly always have music playing at home so I’m quite a music fanatic. The value on these earbuds is impeccable. Really they don’t have any business being as good as they are and, as an added bonus for travel, they come with a carrying case pounce that also has a clip so I can clip it on my belt loop and not lose them. I hope to always have a pair of se215s. I’m a true believer.
