Product Description

From the Manufacturer
From the Manufacturer What 80 Years of Audio Experience Sounds Like TodayIf 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 CancellationShure 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 LevelEach model has its own unique sound characteristic, providing increased range and detail as you move up the line:

Customer Reviews

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.

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. The 210s seem to isolate each vocal and instrumental performance. The total effect is one of clarity and distinctness. No muddled or fuzzy sounds here. Actually, having a more subtle bass enhances the rest of the levels. The sleeves are simply the best out there period. In the kit they provide, you can find a perfect fit for your ears. I am partial to the soft foam sleeves as they resemble ear plugs and are quite maleable. I agree with other reviewers on the shortness of the cord but the extension is so easy to use that it becomes a non-issue for me. I consider myself something of an audiophile and can tell you that the 210s really deliver the goods.
