BLUF: Best headphone for the money, hands down!!!
I'm no audiophile, but I can tell the difference between a good and bad headphone in terms of bass, mid, and treble performance. This is by far the most balanced pair of headphone in all three categories that are in this price range.
I've been a die-hard Shure fan for years since I bought the Shure E2C (yes, they are the cheapest Shure headphones out there but still good). I also have a pair of Shure SE210 as an upgrade, but actually disappoints. This review will contain comparisons between these headphones.
COMFORT:
Even the best sounding headphones aren't good if they aren't comfortable. The IE6's silicone tips feels very comfortable just like the SE210's foam tips. They are much more comfortable than the E2Cs. I can wear the IE6 all day long and not feel uncomfortable which cannot be said for both (yes, both) the Shures.
CONSTRUCTION:
The IE6 is truly a high quality product in this regard. Plus the Kevlar coating will surely help the durability. I can't say for sure since I only have been using them for a few days, but they certainly feel more sturdy than the SE210s, which the left headphone broke off from the cable after a year's use.
SOUND QUALITY:
The IE6 blows both the Shures out of the water. The sound is very rich with crisp highs and thumping lows that does not overpower. The IE6 sounds much more detailed and more plesant than both the Shures but provide more bass. This was exactly what I was looking for in a new headphone and the IE6 delivers.
I usually listen to a wide variety of songs when I test headphones but I always like to listen to Dave Matthews Band's "Crush" and "Crash Into Me" to listen to how much details the headphones deliver. Shures sound like as if the bass was severely toned down while delivering very clear, crisp sound. The IE6, however, sounds almost like if the band was preforming right in front of me. Not only are the details crisp and clear, but the bass is pleasantly strong. They sound very rich and warm and overall, much better than Shures.
SOUND ISOLATION:
This is one aspect that the Sennheiser loses to Shure, but not by much. Shure's ear-tips are truly like earplugs that fills your ear canal in order to block out all outside noise. The silicone tips from the IE6 are not as effective, but once the music is playing, the difference is minimal under most conditions.
ACCESSORIES:
The IE6 comes with a beautiful brushed aluminum/matte black plastic case. It also comes with a cable clip, ear loop and 6 sets of ear tips. The Shures only come with a decent hard fabric case and an array of ear tips. Both also come with a cleaning tool.
OVERALL:
The Shures are great, but the Sennheiser IE6 is even better. The more I use them, the more I can hear the difference between the two and it is really, really mind-blowingly good. If you think the Shures are great but want more bass, try the IE6. They deliver more bass and more detail than Shures. It's really worth the premium to get these.

This review is from: Sennheiser IE6 Dynamic In-Ear Headphones
I have been using Shure headphones for years now, the 400 series of their portables to be exact. On the other hand for home listening I have been a sennheiser user for years. What I like about the sennheisers is that they don't add any 'filters' on the music, the music comes through pure; lows,meds, highs are unaltered. I got my pair of IE6s yesterday from the apple store in Tyson's corner. They are amazing, and they put the shure's to shame. Not only the sound is impeccable, but they are so comfortable on the wearing part that you don't feel that you have them on. On the other hand, I always felt pressure with the Shures. So, if you are thinking of spending $200 for headphones or more, just get yourself a pair of these, you won't regret it....
