Shure SE215's any good?

[orangecat]

I need a new pair of earbuds for my phone and I've been looking at the Shure SE215 earbuds and they seem pretty good but I'm not 100% sure yet. If you own a pair let me know what you think of them.

Thought about getting them about a month ago, ended up going with the jaybird x2's instead. Wireless is nice.

I'm not a fan of wireless when it comes to audio.

I was really skeptical at first too, but i really dont notice a delay or any distortion.

Yea but they need to be charged. I'm sure they sound just fine but I'm not looking for something I need to charge.

Ive been using them for over 2 years now. Sounds great, still works fine with daily usage. And you can buy cheap replacement comply earbuds from AliExpress for less than 1quid a pair. I'd say it''s a good buy

I own a pair and they sound great and are very comfortable. I just wish they were wireless.

good, I own the jaybirds and the are not very detailed at all, they are typical wireless headphones in their sound quality aka the sound quality goes down.

the 215 is good if you like bass.

There are 2 different SE215, and both sounds pretty different.

 

For the normal SE215 (clear/smoke), sounds warm with rich bass.

For the Special Ed. SE215 (blue), sounds balance with good amount of details and tight bass.

I have heard that the blue once was different, but I just thought that it was a rumor.

At first, I do think was a rumor too, till I tried it myself. But 1 thing to take note. The cable length for both are different as well, the blue one has a short cable with around 1.16m, while the clear/smoke one has a longer 1.6m cable.

 

I would prefer the blue one as has better vocals presentation than the clear/smoke

Hope this helps

I nearly bought a pair myself but durability came into question, especially with how you have to plug the cables into the buds versus a non-removable one. I ended up with the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ears, which have lasted a year with no visible damage. Sound quality on them is nice but V-shaped, I prefer a more neutral profile personally but it's not bad.

Are the special edition about the same price?

I had to make this decision few days ago as well after I returned jaybird blue bird x, I had to pick between the 215,  Dunn Titan 5 and the RHA m750i, I ended up going with the RHA and I'm glad I did they are freaking awesome and I got them for $100 on a sale, cos I heard a lot of people, as well as Linus, say that the replaceable cable on the 215 stops working, that might be a very small chance but still, so now to why I went with RHA, I did a lot of research on then turns out they have a lot of bass like the 215, have a over ear design as I use them for gym and they have never fallen out of ear , are made of stainless steel (which just gives them the premium look), have 3 year warranty. so yeah, you may have already bought the 215 so enjoy them, but this is just for other people out there in the same problem as you.

cheers and have a nice day
