Customer Reviews

Finally. Decent headphones!
It took me hours searching this site looking for some new headphones. I had some requirements:

1. Needed the music to sound awesome.
2. Wanted the headphones to look good (not like ear-muffs).
3. I travel on the tube a lot and didn't want to disturb the person next to me as I know how annoying it is listening to other people's music.
4. I wanted to block outside / background noise.

These headphones tick all of the above. Once you've found which fittings best suit your ear they're comfortable and fit snuggly. The sound is awesome. Maybe they could be a bit bassier.

I sat next to my girlfriend and I had the music up pretty loud and she couldn't hear it at all. Excellent!

I'm very happy with these headphones. Long may they last!

Excellent for noise; OK for music
If you travel a lot by air or train, these will be a good buy. I bought mine at a US airport just before flying home to the UK, and the difference compared with the airline freebies I'd suffered on the way out was astonishing. (You'll need an adaptor to connect them to most airliner sound systems - it's not supplied but there's room for it in the neat little oval case the Shures come in.)
I found the rumble of the engines was excluded to the point where I had to listen for it, and I could get happily lost in the dialogue of the two films I watched. By comparison, through the airline phones I lost huge chunks of dialogue in the background din. The Shures also keep your music in your ears and out of other people's: coincidentally, my seat-mate had a similar pair and I detected no sound spillage at all from them.

Travel apart, if you simply want a fine-sounding replacement for your regular iPod headphones, the case is less clear-cut. I've found that the Shures sound good with orchestral and chamber music, and produce a well-defined image - the first piece I played through mine was the Sibelius Violin Concerto, and the solo instrument was very well 'sized' relative to the orchestra. Rougher, more percussive music upsets them, though - a strident guitar chord or cymbal crash can sound truly awful. The same track played through my (much cheaper) Koss Portapro folding phones sounds much fuller and happier - so much so that if I was packing for a long trip, I'd put the Shures in my cabin bag, but have the Koss pair in my suitcase to use once I'd arrived.

A final word on comfort: I was suspicious of the in-ear design but found the Shures remarkably comfortable. The interchangeable ear buds also fit very firmly onto the nozzles - fitted properly, there should be no danger at all of one coming loose and staying in the ear.

Great upgrade for your ipod
I am very pleased with sound quality of this earphone. After my purchase of ipod Classic 160Gb I decided to upgrade the earphones and got a set of Bose triports - altough these were very well build and very confortable to wear (with a nice bass) they played at very low volume on ipod (europe) and the middle/high tones were just "average" - sound was a bit flat and towards the bass. I exchanged them for the Shure Se210 and the difference is very noticeable - now I have to set volume at 2/3, sound is clear and crisp all across the range and with some detail I've never heard, literaly - I'll have to re-rip some CDs at higher bitrates. IMHO, it would make more sense if Shure would build Se210 with a longer cord, you *must* use the supplied extension cord witch make everything heavier and bulkier. As a reference I also tested it against Sennheiser CX300 and the Shure holds the peaks with no distorsion and overall sound quality is superior, but price also makes a big difference.
