Shure’s latest upgrade to their entry level earphones is the SE115CL. This affordable product gives you the greatest possible quality for the price, featuring Shure’s signature sound isolating system and Dynamic MicroSpeaker technology. In this model, the bass has been fine tuned for a pure but not overpowering sound, giving listeners the perfect balance of highs and lows. This pair of headphones is Shure’s most adaptable set yet, including a fit kit, which provides customers with 3 sizes of rubber tips and 3 sizes of foam tips that will fit any ear. This product is the perfect solution for your on-the-go music listening and will help to enhance your audio experience throughout the day, whether at the gym, in the office, at home, or out walking around. Features Sound Isolating Design The SE115CL blocks over 90% of ambient noise with its custom fit Sound Isolating Sleeves. The buds fit comfortably in the user’s ear, blocking the outside sounds and providing for a crisper and clearer listening experience. This feature makes the SE115CL truly versatile in its utility, 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. Dynamic MicroSpeakers The reason for the radiant and improved bass, as well as the clear middle tones experienced when listening through the SE115s is Shure’s Dynamic MicroSpeaker system. This model features the second generation of the product, delivering warm sound quality with surprisingly powerful bass. This technology was previously only seen in the larger E2c model, but has been minimized to fit into products this small. The result is a crisp, fresh sound that will bring to life your old music collection, and enhance today’s hit tracks. Unmatched Versatility The SE115CL comes standard with a carrying case and a Premium Fit Kit. With the cloth case comes a convenient and easy way to store your earphones without getting them tangled, one of the most frustrating issues that earphone users experience. The Fit Kit includes sizes small, medium, and large in both foam and rubber tips. These tips are an integral part of sound isolation, fitting snugly, yet comfortably, in the ear cavity, and sealing off outside noises. Shure provides all of these options to every buyer, maximizing personalization and sound quality. These headphones have countless features that make them truly customized and fit for each user’s preferences. Why SE115? There is no other earphone that offers the level of versatility and sound quality that is seen in the SE115CL at a comparable price. With sound isolating technology, its Dynamic MicroSpeaker system, clear design, custom fitting ear buds, and carrying case, there is really no issue left unresolved. The sound is developed from earphone technology road-tested by pro musicians and perfected by Shure engineers, leaving little room for error or imperfection. This earphone set is the perfect addition to your daily routine, fitting snugly in your ear while you work out, walk around, lounge at home, or fly across the country, never lacking in sound quality and staying comfortable even after hours of use.
This review is from: Shure SE115-CL Sound Isolating Earphones (Clear)
I had two reasons for buying these headphones.
One was for working out in the gym. I couldn't stand listening to the same single CD that they just won't change and I wanted to block out the sound. I briefly considered getting the Bose noise-canceling headset but they were too expensive and too bulky for working out.
The other reason, similar to the above, is to block out all ambient noise when traveling on a plane with the migraine inducing cacophony of crying babies. What I used to do was put in good noise protection air plugs and put a headset over that just so that the ordeal of flying wasn't so horrific. Yes, the earplugs blocked out much of the music but I couldn't hear the interminable screaming babies or the overhead speakers. No matter what Bose claims, and some people believe, Bose headsets cannot reduce transient sounds (e.g. voices).
Finally, I never liked the iPod earphones. I find them to be uncomfortable and they don't keep out external noise. I know that they're designed *not* to keep out external noise so that you still hear the outside world.
This comes with a wide variety of ear buds and I wound up using the very smallest.
The sound quality of these earphones is fantastic. Between the sound blocking characteristics of the buds and the high quality of the sound, the external world blissfully ceases to exist. As the instructions state, you would never want to use these where you need to listen to warning sounds like car horns.
I didn't read any of the reviews before buying these earphones. I was in the Apple store buying a nano iPod and I grabbed the the Shure earphones because it said 'sound isolating'. It was somewhat of an impulse purchase.
After I brought them home, but before I opened the package (once opened, they can't be returned for health reasons), I checked out the reviews. Since the reviews were so glowing I decided to buy a set through Amazon for way less money than what I had paid at Apple.
I was amazed at how well the sound isolation works and the great sound quality. When I rip a CD, I set the bit rate to 320 kbps to preserve the sound quality.
Even when I set the volume to fairly low, I wind up talking way too loudly. Between the sound isolation and the music, it's difficult to gauge how loudly you're talking. I'm so glad that I didn't buy the Bose at over 4x the cost.
Where I work, sometimes people talk way too loudly. Now I put these in, play soft music and I don't have to suffer listening to all the sports talk anymore.
I love these earphones. I'm buying another for a close relative.

I ordered and received another set. Ordered on Saturday, arrived on Monday (normal shipping rates).
I checked the price on Amazon today (Tuesday). It skyrocketed 60% from last weekend! I wish my 401(k) increased that much so quickly.

Bought another set. I love these guys. If you use the sound-insulating earbuds (the foam types) and you insert them correctly (like hearing protection ear plugs) the sound quality improves dramatically and the outside world disappears (under normal sound conditions -- I wouldn...
