There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'm not really an audiophile, but I did a lot of research on IEMs (earbuds that sit deep in the ear), and I thoroughly tested a few of my finalists. So, in this review I'm going to compare the Shure SE215's ($99), Shure SE425's ($299), and Etymotic Research ER-4PT's ($299). My main selection criteria were comfort, sound quality, and ability to block out outside noise (note that for this reason I first tried the Bose QuietComfort 20i's, but the active noise canceling pressure made my ears hurt).
SHORT SUMMARY: I easily recommend the SE215's in terms of price-performance; but, if you have more to spend then get the SE425's. The ER-4PT's are very crisp, but they have some significant physical downsides.
LONGER REVIEW:
First of all, I hear that it's important to choose headphones based on the kind of music that you listen to. So, for my tests, I used ten songs representing my favorite genres of EDM (house/trance), synthpop, and pop rock. Songs included Instant Crush (Daft Punk), Good Morning Kaia (BT), Crush (Dave Matthews Band), and A Sky Full of Stars (Coldplay).
Overall, the SE215's are excellent, especially for the price. When switching back and forth between them and the 425's, I could notice a clear difference, but not necessarily a $200 difference. If $200 isn't a huge deal to you, definitely get the 425's; but, I think you'd have to be a very discerning listener to really appreciate the increase in quality.
So what's better about them? Everything is clearer. After listening to the 425's, the 215's feel almost like a light blanket was thrown over the speaker -- everything is just a little muddier and the individual instruments are less clear. There's less separation between the layers. But again, this wasn't a dramatic difference, so you'd still be very safe with the 215's (and I understand that $300 is an insane amount of money for most people to spend on earbuds).
What about the ER-4PT's? They were even clearer, but almost clinically so. It felt a bit like I was in a perfectly empty room listening to every little nuance of the sound, but that sound was less warm than that of the Shures. To be honest, though, this difference was minimal -- in most cases, there wasn't a hugely noticeable difference between the ER-4PT's and the SE425's. I most preferred the Etymotics in songs involving crisp cymbals and complex background noises; but again, it wasn't a huge difference, and overall I slightly preferred the warmer bass of the Shures.
More importantly, I found two dealbreakers that meant I couldn't keep the Etymotics: (1) That crisp clarity of sound sadly translated to the wire as well; every time I moved my head I could powerfully feel/hear the wire moving, to the point that it was quite distracting. I believe that this is called microphonics. (2) The plastic piece connecting the wire going to each ear was surprisingly heavy, to the point that its weight very quickly became annoying compared to the other earbuds.
The other nice thing about the Shures is how easily they slip into your ears. Fair warning that it took me a while to figure out how to get them in right -- I was about to return them because it was so confusing at first, but I watched a youtube video and realized you have to actually significantly bend the rubbery part. Once you get the hang of it, it's extremely fast and easy to fit them in compared to the Etymotics that I really had to work in every time while holding my ear open with my other hand.
So, like I said, I recommend either one of the Shures depending on how much money you can spare on headphones. One other tip, by the way: Be very careful about trying all the different types of tips that are included. I noticed a dramatic difference when I finally found the right set that made a truly tight seal in my ear canal -- the bass became significantly stronger and the overall sound became tighter and cleaner.
Overall, I definitely recommend IEMs over regular earbuds (unless you're riding a bike or something that demands attention), but keep in mind that none of these will fully block out nearby voices on their own -- I needed to play white noise or music to achieve the true isolation I was looking for.
UPDATE AFTER ANOTHER WEEK:
After going back and forth some more between these and the 215's, I can safely say that the 425's are clearly better for anything but casual background listening. For certain songs especially, the 215's now sound like they're covered in a blanket when immediately compared to the 425's -- they're just much duller, muted, and bass-heavy. I'd still certainly recommend them for the price, but I've decided to spend a little more and keep the 425's.
============REVIEW================
I'll be splitting up the review in sections to make reading digestion easier. :P
---------THE FIT--------
They fit very well. The over-the-ear method of wearing them provides the most amount of security from accidental tugs and movement. It did take some time to get used to how they hug the ear. The first long music-listening sessions made my ears hurt a little, but the pain subsided with prolonged use.
The 425's ability of noise-isolation is better than what I've used in the past. The use of memory foam tips for creating a seal works better than most other earbuds that use a silicon or rubber seal. Shure stresses for a good fit in the ear canal to provide the best sound and noise-isolation. When a good enough seal is created, it's good enough to take onto the gun range! Provided you use the correct sized memory foam tips and insert them properly however, but proper discretion is advised. :P
--------THE SOUND-------
The sound is very true to the original recording. Other reviews were right in that Shure is more known for "bright" sounding products, products that focus on treble. With that in mind, the SE425s are no exception to that rule. I used to listen to a set of very "warm" sounding earbuds before listening to these, which caused the transition to the 425s very underwhelming. Warm-sounding products focus more on bass, and as a result, I was not used to a more neutral and flat-sounding product before these.
That fact actually made me consider returning them for a more warm-sounding set!
However, after using them for a while, I've grown accustomed to how they sound. The break-in did improve the quality of the sound in general, but it didn't improve the bass a whole lot. Determined to get these buds sounding the way I'm used to, I started tweaking my equalizer a bit.
First impressions after increasing the bass frequencies was phenomenal. I had to bump them up a fair bit, seeing how the 425's frequency response curve shows less bass response, but after the change, these buds respond to bass extremely well. The dual-driver nature provides for lots of bass with no distortion of the highs, and the balanced nature is able to yield clean-feeling bass with no muddied sound. Even ramping the bass up to unimaginable levels yielded no distortion whatsoever!
The fact that these are naturally neutral-sounding buds makes them perfect for music composition and editing. Equal representation of all sounds allows for unparalleled accuracy in composing, mixing, and editing tracks.
---------THE BUILD QUALITY----------
I have yet to put them through anything that tests their limits of physical resistance to wear and tear, knowing that I put $238 out of pocket into these little investments...but with my daily use, I have yet to see any sign of damage. Granted that my use involves treating them like a newborn baby, but the 425s feel very solid and well built.
I love the fact that the parts are replaceable. Broken speaker? Speaker units are available for sale. Need a replacement bud tip? Shure has you covered. Snapped the cord? There's also something for that too. Each part is detachable for easy replacing of broken parts. No need to toss the entire thing and buy a new one.
What's more, is that the actual speaker unit is able to rotate separately from the wire! This allows for easy ear insertion and storage.
I believe the cord can also be upgraded by buying the cord with an inline microphone, or by buying the Bluetooth cord, and attaching the speaker units to those ones! I've read that the 425s can do that, but I haven't actually tried it.
&&&&&&-OVERALL-&&&&&&&
Pros:
+ Snug and secure fit
+ Excellent noise-isolation
+ Accurate and neutral sound
+ Dual-driver clarity
+ No distortion at high volumes
+ Durable construction
+ Easy replacement of broken parts
Cons:
- Flat-sounding nature of buds might not be for everyone, especially those who like lots of bass
- Insertion method might be a little tricky; definitely not fast on, fast off
- Memory wire part of the cord causes entire thing to tangle more often
Top reviews from other countries
This particular model seems to shine at monitoring one's own vocals effectively at a relatively low volume. I wouldn't spend extra on the SE535 if you're only using this for live as the only noticable difference is the seemingly endless low frequency range from that model.
Frequencies lower than 120-150Hz aren't really useful from IEMs in a live music setting anyway since any bass from your PA will just resonate into your ear directly through your body. Also, those ranges being amplified additionally into your ear canal probably will negate some of the hearing protection abilities from this product.
Perhaps if you're performing on a fairly quiet stage then yes I'd say make the jump, but for most musicians this has the highest benefit:cost ratio in my experience.
Pro tips:
-The grey silicone sleeves sound the best and are the easiest to clean, although they seem to slip out if you get sweaty.
-the white multisleeves are best if you have small ear canals or if you just wanna make sure they stay in and stop as much sound as possible, although they have a slight bump around 2kHz which can make things sound unpleasant. Also they can go too deep and be generally uncomfortable.
-these headphones will last you forever if you never let them near the floor. This is because the only way the buds break is if they are stepped on or are crushed in some other way, which is significantly harder to do if they are never near the floor. The detachable cables, alhough quite durable can still crap out after about 2 years of regular use. $55 every 2 years is a decent price to maintain a $400 pair of headphones. Use the case regularly and again, they'll last for a good long time.
-Custom sleeves (molded) can be made for these if you visit an audiologist. In Canada they cost $120 CAD per ear. MAKE SURE YOUR CLINIC HAS EXPERIENCE DOING THIS. Ask audio forums/fb groups or even call your local production companies to see who they've worked with. This can greatly increase the comfort, sound, and noise rejection of the headphones so I highly recommend if you are serious.
Enjoy slowing down your inevitable hearing loss!
