From the Manufacturer What 80 Years of Audio Experience Sounds Like Today

If you’re as passionate about audio as the musicians who use our microphones, you deserve the legendary performance of Shure earphones. As a leader in the professional audio industry for over 80 years, we’re proud to bring you personal listening products that reflect our experience and ongoing pursuit of audio perfection--and the new SE line of sound-isolating earphones is the latest step in approaching that perfection.

Isolation, not Cancellation

Shure Sound Isolating Earphones are unlike headphones that feature noise canceling technology. For listeners seeking maximum audio fidelity, the differences are key. Noise cancellation technology uses active circuitry to counteract background noise, which may introduce artifacts into your audio. Sound isolating earphones comfortably fill the ear canal and naturally block most background noise for a clear, detailed listening experience--all without the need to listen at high volumes which may risk damaging your hearing.

Legendary Performance At Any Level

Each model has its own unique sound characteristic, providing increased range and detail as you move up the line: SE210 (white) / SE210-k (black): High-quality on-the-go audio utilizing Hi-Definition MicroSpeakers to deliver full range audio, the ergonomic design of the SE210 is ideal for premium on-the-go listening. The SE210 also offers a flexible design for multiple wearing positions. SE310 (white) / SE310-k (black): Breathtaking sound and style featuring Hi-Definition MicroSpeakers with a Tuned BassPort, the SE310 delivers extended range audio and optimized low-end performance. The SE310 also offers a flexible design for multiple wearing positions. SE420 (white) / SE420-k (black): Heart-pounding performance featuring Dual TruAcoustic MicroSpeakers, the SE420 uses a dedicated tweeter and woofer to provide a detailed sound stage. Lows, mids, and highs are distinct and defined for accurate reproduction of all the details of your music. SE530/SE530PTH: Pure audio precision--the SE530 uses Triple TruAcoustic MicroSpeakers to create an expansive sound stage. A dedicated tweeter ensures that highs and mids are incredibly accurate and detailed, while dedicated dual woofers provide balanced, full-bodied bass. The Push-To-Hear Control (included with the SE530PTH) adjusts levels of external sound for maximum intelligibility.

There's really not much that's changed in the new SE line from Shure. So, I'll be brief.

1) (+) Amazing sound! The same drivers as the SE3xx series but no bass chamber...so you wont get a lot of thump. But crystal clear sound. I believe the drivers are the same as the previous E3c/g.

2) (+) Great isolation - save your hearing. :)

3) (-) The cord is like 1.5 ft. Which would be great if I wore a clipon/iPod Shuffle, but I put an ipod in my backpack...so i have to use the extension (included). The extension creates extra weight in the cord (where it connects)...means the cord feels heavy. Me no likey.

4) (+) Sweet ballistic nylon carrying case.

Overall: great sound at a great value if you can get past the little cord & extension.

I bought these primarily for listening to non-music on my iPod in noisy places (like the gym, restaurants, main street). I could previously hear well in these places only with the volume high, so thought I might better preserve my hearing by using isolation.

For comfort & general isolation: these are surprisingly good. After trying many of the included earbuds, I liked the default ones best. The isolation is nearly complete - it's now much easier to ignore nearby conversations, oncoming traffic, and street thugs. The earbuds can be inserted loosely, iPod style if you don't want the isolation, but if you want isolation while you're walking, you'll probably have to wear them with each cord up-and-over the ear to prevent your listening experience being overwhelmed by the sounds of the cord stresses with each step (imagine tapping on a stethoscope). note to audiophagophiles: these will let you fully appreciate the sounds of chewing your food and gum.

Hearing Protection: Audio is usually loud and clear around 20-30% of max volume setting on the iPod - by my amateur calculations, assuming this scale is logarithmic (which it seems to be), compared to listening at about 70% of max, listening at 25% is 120K times less intense in watts/meter (I'm not sure if there is much loss as sound hits the walls of the aural canal, but assuming so as a worst case, if the shure earbuds are 20mm from tympanum vs 28mm for the iPod buds, shure at 25% would still be 60K times lower than iPod at 70%).

For sound quality: I eventually listened to music on these, and found the quality surprisingly impressive - clean and crisp, the sound is more like what you would expect from monitors than entertainment speakers.

For travel: after logging a couple hundred thousand miles with the bose qc2, I never thought I'd find anything better, and maybe these aren't. It is very difficult to tell which is better at reducing perceived background noise, and for short trips I now leave bose at home. note: if you plan to listen to in-flight movies, you'd need to find some way to manually reduce the volume leading to the earphones - I find the plane's audio output unsettable to an acceptably low level.

Durability: I hated the thought of having to carry around the ballistic nylon case in my pocket, and opted for a lower standard of care - usually just wrapping the earphones around my iPod and putting it my pocket. After a couple of months of getting tangled in keys, change, etc(?), I'm pleased to see them still unharmed. These are tough!...

Since purchasing my 80g video iPod 7 months ago I have gone through 5 sets of headphones in my search for the perfect sound quality. I have at last found it in the SE210 earbuds from Shure. In a side to side comparison between the BOSE ear buds and the 210s I was at first blown away by the bass excellence of the BOSE but soon I came to realize that the overall effect, in spite of the excellent bass, was a slightly muddled performance.
