Shure SE115 review

 

Snug fit ; well balanced sound, brimming with detail ; full-bodied, but not overblown bass

Not everyone's a fan of in-ear headphones

These Shures aren't only a colourful upgrade but a sound investment, too

Shure SE115 review

 

Our favourite Shure in-ears have been given new colourful paint jobs and improved drivers. Are they the ultimate iPod upgrade?

More colourful and better-sounding than their stablemates, and one of the best iPod upgrades you can buy

Shure SE115 review

 

Shure's mid-range headphones impress in isolation, but lack the clarity of some of the company's models

Solid sound, well built, Shure’s half and half cable design

Sound could be crisper

Tried in isolation, you won’t be disappointed with a set of SE115s - they offer strong, bassy sound and superb build quality. However, the sound isn’t as perky and crisp as you might expect from a set of headphones that cost £100, and you might find a...

Shure SE115

 

Shure has built an excellent reputation in audio hardware aimed a professional musicians. The company recently expanded its range of earphones to cater for iPhone and iPod users who appreciate audio fidelity but whose budget doesn't extend to paying...

You may baulk at paying the thick end of 100 for a pair of earphones. If you do, then these are not for you, but if you want a pair of in-ear earphones that really do justice to the tracks on your iPod, then these are worthy of consideration. Our only...

Shure SE115 review: Shure SE115

 

Shure SE115

The Shure SE115 earphones offer a comfortable fit; full, beefy bass; multiple eartips; and a useful carrying case.

The SE115 earphones' sound isn't as detailed as we would have liked.

While they fall short on clarity and detail, the Shure SE115 earphones deliver impressive bass, making them a solid option for people who listen to a lot of hip-hop and reggae.

Shure SE115

 

Shure's SE115 earphones buck the company's tradition of flatter response in favor of a heavier low end.

Strong overall performance for the price. Solid bass response. Secure fit.

Boosted bass and treble may disappoint audiophiles. Some potential harshness in the mid-high frequencies.

Expert review by : Ty Pendlebury (cnet.com.au)

Shure SE115

 

The Shure SE115 offers a laid-back sound and decent sound isolation, but its lack of presence will put off thrill-seekers.

Decent noise isolation ; Full sound ; Improves on previous model ; Flat" response useful for monitoring purposes

Lack the presence of competitors ; Bass can be overwhelming ; Large ; Can be uncomfortable

The sound is indeed warm, and the boost in bass is not as overwhelming as this might usually sound, and we find them to be much more pleasant to listen to. However, like the SE110s there is a lack of urgency to the SE115s, which can have a distancing...
