If you're looking for bass and good sound isolation, and don't really care about the way they look or the over-the-ear cord thing, the SE215s will do you well. If you're looking for accuracy, clarity and a more understated look, we'll have to stand by our long-time favorites ... the ER-6i's.

Basically, the Shure SE215 is a steal, but you'll likely have to mess with them a bit in order to properly nail down the fit. Again, the cable eventually seems to break in and the earphones become secure, but don't say I didn't warn you about the first few times you wear them. quote

Read the full review →Good strong bass but not muddy. Mids and high clear but not crisp enough for my taste. For the price I got them for ($99) they are excellent. The wires that they come with are thick and seem durable though I find the bulky jack incompatiable with alot of cases I use with the Iphone. Since the...
Read the full review →I bought these on amazon for $100 a few weeks ago and I love them. I used to have the shure se110 and they were great but the cord broke. These allow you to buy a new cord without have to buy all new earbuds if the cord breaks which is great. The sound quality is excellent and they come with 3...
