Shure CBL-M-+K Music Phone Cable with Remote + Mic for iPone, iPod and iPad available as an additional accessory.
The SE425 is designed to handle the audio specifications of live performance, giving it unbeatable clarity and sound isolation. Shure is an industry leader in high end earphones, and this model is no exception. With Dual High Definition MicroDrivers providing clear, balanced sound, a lightweight profile and wide range of tip sizes for maximum comfort, and detachable wires for added amenity and product longevity, the SE425 fails to disappoint in any category. Whether you are a professional musician looking for perfect clarity on stage, or an everyday music listener looking for the highest quality sound, the SE425 delivers. Features Sound Isolating Design The SE425 blocks ambient noise with its custom fit Sound Isolating Sleeves. The buds fit comfortably in the user’s ear, blocking outside noise and providing for a crisper and clearer listening experience. This feature makes the SE425 truly high quality, isolating sound during live performances, helping to lessen distortion on plane rides, blocking out distant chatter in public, and eliminating background noises at the office. This Sound Isolating Design helps users to better hear the top quality that is expected from an industry leader in audio excellence. The ultra-slim design and behind-the-ear style of the SE425 also makes the model ideal for musicians, as it is subtle and out of sight. Dual HD Dynamic MicroSpeakers The implementation of Duel HD MicroSpeakers gives the SE425 unbelievable sound quality, producing pure, even lows, mids, and highs. This is the only product in its price range that can truly do your instrument justice, as it was engineered to provide reference quality audio. For home users, there is no better way to liven up your old music collection than purchasing the SE425. It uses a dedicated tweeter and woofer for incredibly accurate sound with unmatched balance. This technology allows the earphones to provide a high level acoustic output with little distortion across wide a frequency range, giving a crisp sound for both high and low notes. Detachable, Formable Cable The attention to detail in this product is shown through the design of the cable. The earphone wiring is reinforced with Kevlar, promising quality and durability, while the cord is also detachable. A big problem that faces earphone users is that the wiring tends to wear out much faster than the audio drivers do, so Shure has created cords that can be detached from the buds and replaced, increasing the longevity and value of your purchase. Not only is the wire detachable, but it is also formable, adding a new element of comfort. This style of headphone is meant to slip over and behind the ear, and the new wire bends and shapes to your liking for a fit. Best Fit Possible The SE425 comes standard with a Premium Fit Kit, giving customers a wide range of fittings that will maximize comfort. It includes a small, medium, and large pair of both Foam and Soft Flex Sleeves, a pair of Yellow Foam Sleeves, and a pair of Triple Flange Sleeves. This wide variety of buds is provided to users to give them the most complete, sound isolating product possible that will cater to any listener. This feature, mixed with the detachable and formable cable makes the SE425 one of the most comfortable sets of earphones in the industry.

Hi Everyone,
I just received my SE425's 2 days ago, and have had ample time to "break them in". After spending almost $300, I'm not sure if they're exactly as I expected. I previously had the Shure E2C, SE210, and SE310; all of them were wonderful in their own ways at their price points.
However, the SE425 have very similar sound to the now-discontinued and discounted SE310 even with two discrete drivers, while costing more (after SE310 price discounts). The cables are too rigid near the ears, making for uncomfortable wearing. Also, the nozzles/earpieces don't go as deep in the ear canal as previous models, but surprisingly without sacrificing sound isolation. The bass is too understated, even compared to Shure's "flat-sound" standards. The detachable cables are an amazing innovation (finally implemented), especially since my previous models have gone through 3-4 cable warranty repairs (crackling sound) while the drivers themselves were perfectly fine.
Beware, the earphone plug-in piece is quite large, making it very difficult to fit in iPhone/MP3 player cases (especially the iPhone 1st gen and iPhone 4 w/ bumper). The previous Shure models didn't have this problem, as their plug points were quite narrow.
Overall, the Shure SE425 seems more durable than previous models, but their high price point with only marginal improvements makes it slightly difficult to justify over previous Shure models, which are now heavily discounted.
I'm do not claim to be an audiophile who listens to music only through Amps and such, though I do value and understand quality audio. I mainly use these headphones with my iPhone 4 and laptop with higher bitrate songs (320 KPBS+ VBR).
Hopefully this helps, and good luck in your earphone search!!...

....I purchased a pair of SE425 ear buds to replace a set of Shure e4c earbuds that died a premature death from wire insulation "rot" thinking that the replaceable cords would solve the problem. Well they do, but there is another problem inherent in the design that is not readily apparent....until you try to replace the sleeves with new ones. With my pair, the sleeves(only had them for 5 weeks)had become fused to the stems. So upon trying to remove them following the instructions in the manual, the stems snapped off!!! Well, with e4c buds they are replaceable but with the SE425 buds the stems are an integral part of the earbud and are NOT replaceable. My suggestion to those who purchase these is that the 1st thing you do when you get them is to try to swap out the sleeves sometime before the Amazon 30 day return policy expires. Hopefully the 2 year warranty will save the day for me. I will keep you posted!
OK.... its 2/24/11 and I got my replacements already from Shure. Great turn-around! Raised the star value up to a 4 from a 1. They sound great but I am still disappointed in the fact that the stems are not replaceable. Although the sleeves remove easier on this pair, I would guess that this will happen again sometime in the fut...
