What's great about it: Great fit, wraps around ear, high sound quality
I got a pair of these as a gift about 4 or 5 years ago and used them constantly. When they finally gave out, I tried a few different kinds, but wasn't satisfied. Decided to get these again, and I'm only sorry I didn't buy them first. I like how they sit over my ear. All other earbuds seem to fall out, but these have the soft foam earbuds that act like ear plugs and stay in. The sound quality is amazing, and when I'm listening to music, all other sounds are blocked out (much to my wife's dismay). I highly recommend these for all types of listening environments: the house, out on the street, and even on an airplane.

Fantastic headphones! The SE 215's are the budget model of Shures line. I have owned Bose and Beats headphones, These are much better. No distortion at high volume. Sound isolation is great; the foam ear buds are great.
Shure is a brand honored by audiophiles, don't overlook their strange design, they are an exceptional product of top quality construction
This product has... Stylish, great isolation

What's great about it: I can use at night when sleeping and they dont hurt my ears when laying on my side!
What's not so great: Its puzzling to get them in the ears LOL!
The sound is great on these earbuds, but I do have a few issues...
First it is like a jigsaw puzzle to put them in your ears LOL! They don't go in your ear like a normal earbud. It takes me a while to figure it out every time I put them in, and I don't like having to put the cord up and over my ear. Its kinda weird.
But once in, they are comfortable. I use them a lot when I go to sleep. Since they fit in the ear so well, that means my ear isn't in a ton of pain in the morning because I sleep on my side. But I do find they fall out every so often. I do have to readjust here and there when I wear them during the day.
Also the cord is very long, it would be helpful to have a clip of some sort to attach to your clothes to help keep it comfortable. I actually think the cord is too long, so I have to wrap some around my device which is a bit uncomfortable then in the pocket.
Another issue I had was when I first opened them I could not get the changeable tips off for the life of me. I spent a half an hour trying to do it and I ended up calling Shure. They said it was an issue with a lot of them and said I could send the back to them for another pair to try. I wasn't interested in that so I played with them for another hour and I finally was able to break the glue or whatever and get the tips off.
Other than that so far so good. I had the Bose earbuds before and they really annoyed me in that the plastic on the cord wore off, broke, etc to where I had exposed copper. So I didn't want to go down that road again. I am happy with the Shure over the Bose so far!

I previously started out with the Adidas earbuds, but the fit was terrible. So I upgraded to the Bose because of their reputation, and was highly disappointed in the fit and comfort. Because the fit wasn't great I heard alot of back ground noise when I ran outside and the bass just sucked. The Sure's are just awesome. They fit right into your ears to block out the wind noise and are just awesome. Highly recommend them
This product has... Perfect fit, Powerful bass

What's great about it: Literally everything, itll take a while to get used to putting them in
What's not so great: that people have no clue what shures are and there missing out
Little background, i started off with regular ipod buds, got skullcandies thought they were good, bought some sony buds they were better, purchased the klipsch image s4s the best ive had till a week ago my kitten chewed through the cord so i bought these after reading the great reviews
Lets just say these are far superior than my previous headphones, they fit great for working out, they block out all noise, everything sounds so clean and clear with these. I listen to house and i love hearing the heavy bass with the clean mids and highs its like im able to distinuish every different sound in my music and i love it. I would highly recommend then and the cord is very durable much more than my previous ones. My buddy has the bose buds and these personally blow those away and now my buddy is pretty butthurt that he brought them just cause of the price and name. I love these headphones<3
This product has... Perfect fit, Powerful bass

What's great about it: Excellent Bass when properly sealed in ear
What's not so great: Dogs likes to eat them, so be careful everyone
I have always owned Shures and swear by them! They just get better and better. The bass and overall sound on these are excellent. They are worth every penny and I have no idea why they stopped carrying them in stores. I use these to workout and everything else, they never hurt and always stay in. I can't imagine a better product. Give them a try and I don't think you will be disappointed. PS I can't imagine the Bose being any better than these. I have other Bose products, but these are the answer for in ear headphones.
Best Uses: When I travel, Gym / Working Out, At home
