Shure SE215

 

They look like the top-end SE535, but can they compete on sound?

Powerful, thud-tastic bass, Wide soundstage, Class-leading cable quality

Not the most detailed treble

Shure SE215 review

 

Excellent midrange in-ear headphones for a bargain

Understated design ; Affordable ; Personalized comfort ; Vibrant sound

Lacks in-line controls ; Slight learning curve

Looking to step up your earphone game on a budget? The Shure SE215 deliver stunning sound and personalized comfort at an entry-level price. It's one of the best deals out there.

Shure SE215 review

 

If you are after a bassy flavour the hard-wearing Shure SE215s could be just the thing

Pro build and features ; rich, weighty sound ; good mid/bass detail

Not as driving or sparkly as we'd like, thanks to that rich character

Shure’s top-end features filter down to an affordable level

Shure's budget earphones don't come cheap, but they sound far more expensive

Shure SE215 review

 

The sound produced by these earphones is immense

The most impressive sound quality of all the earphones tested here

Expensive; inverted design meant that the SE125s kept popping out; difficult to swap earbuds

Perhaps the most impressive test here, though, was classical piano, where we were treated to a rich, dramatic sound, with even the excellent-sounding Altec Lansing headphones unable to match the bass presence.

Shure SE215

 

The Shure SE215 headphones are the entry-level offerings in the award winning SE Series. These in-ear isolation headphones come with a single dynamic driver and a frequency range between 17 – 22,000Hz. Delivering up to 102dB of sound, you'll find a...

Shure may consider these headphones to be entry-level but in terms of quality you wouldn’t think so. Sure, the design is a little love it/hate it but is you’re a fan of the brand then you’ll already be warming to what these budget cans have to offer....

Shure SE215 Wireless in-ear headphones review

 

Shure's versatile, comfortable SE215 Wireless will draw you deeper into your favorite tunes.

Vibrant, detailed sound. ; Earbuds fit securely and comfortably ; Replaceable cable ; Intuitive controls

Neckband can be slightly awkward ; Securing or taking off earbuds is time consuming

Excellent sound, a great fit, and detachable cables help rank Shure’s SE215 Wireless among our favorite wireless earbuds in their class.

Shure SE215 earphones review

 

These middle-of-the-road earphones perform well in certain situations, but pack too much bass for their own good.

Shure SE215 Wireless

 

The Shure SE215 Wireless earphones offers some of the best in-ear Bluetooth audio performance available under $200.

Excellent audio performance. Super-secure in-ear fit, with some passive noise reduction. Removable/replaceable audio cable.

No extra cable included. Mediocre mic quality.

The Shure 215 Wireless earphones are essentially a modular system with both wired and wireless operation if you buy the $30 wired cable accessory. Even at that price—$180—it's a good deal, and no matter how you look at it, these are easily some of the...

Review: Shure SE215

 

Search the headphone forum and read the gadget blogs. You'll find many fans of the Shure SE215 earbuds. The praise is deserved -- they do...

Great sound. Cables detach and are replaceable if they wear out. Lots of tip options in the box

They aren’t the most comfortable buds in the bin. Finding the correct seal and fit takes a lot of patience. No remote or microphone, so you’ll be de-pocketing your mobile more often
