 "Not for everyone" 2010-04-08
By Steve
I'm really disappointed with these earphones. It may be that my ears are peculiar but I've tried all the available ear-pieces and cannot get a good fit. The only way the sound is half-decent is if I ram the piece into my ear canal as far as possible, but then it doesn't stay in place. Without a decent seal the sound is of course terrible. These aren't for everybody.

 "Proper quality / noise cancelling" 2010-02-22
By K. Smeets (London, UK)
I have only used these headphones for a few weeks, but so far I have been impressed with them.

It takes a while before you realise how to get the best sound of them, as you need to insert the earphones quite deep into your ear. But once you get the hang of it, it is superb sound quality, helped with the excellent external noise cancelling.



A friend had these earphones for a few years and was very pleased with them. He abused them a bit which resulted in breakage of the cables, but this was replaced quickly, covered by the 2-yr guarantee.



So I have been very impressed with them so far. Hopefully it will remain that way! ;-)

 "Avoid" 2010-02-05
By Clifford Rankin
First of all, the sound quality of these earphones is fantastic. Once you find the right fit insert for your ear, the bass really shines through. They do a great job of shutting out all external noise, so are perfect for travelling. All of this is let down by the poor build quality. As other reviewers have commented, the wire becomes rigid and brittle and tends to split at the point where you loop it over your ear. I had my first set replaced under warranty, but the second pair has also just split. I also found the rubber housing comes away from the plasic and ended up having to superglue mine to keep the housing together. I expected a lot more from such an expensive set of earphones and is a shame given the great sound quality.

 "Poor build quality" 2010-01-21
By J. Page (UK)
I bought a pair of EC3s some time ago and within a year one of the drivers blew. Fortunately, they were still in warranty so Shure replaced them with a pair of SE210 earphones. The sound quality from these is great and with a proper fit the sound isolation is excellent. Unfortunately, as another reviewer has pointed out, the build quality is very poor. The wire used is not fit for purpose because after 9 months of normal use the wire began to split at the point where it wraps around the back of the ear. Within a week the second cable split in exactly the same position. I contacted Shure customer service who pointed out that the warranty period was based on the first pair that I bought so I didn't qualify for a replacement. I did point out that the warranty wasn't an issue because under the sales of goods act these earphones were inherently faulty due to the cabling problem (which, if you Google it, is a common problem). They weren't having any of it so I have resorted to fixing them with insulating tape. Not what you would expect from a "high end" pair of earphones. These are my second pair of Shure headphones and neither pair lasted more than a year. Save your money and buy something that will last.

 "Overpriced and poor quality" 2009-11-18
By Adam Townend (ldn)

I have had these headphones for about a year and am now looking for replacements as they have broken. The headphones were looked after, always packed away in their case when not in use and were only used on train and plane journeys and at the gym. The sound they produced never warranted the amount i paid for them, my previous sennheisers were half the price of the shures and in my opinion handled my ipod music a lot better. My sennheisers also lasted longer and they were subjected to far worse treatment. My advice - steer well clear and invest your money elsewhere

 "Disappointing sound quality for the price" 2010-07-30
By concrete
After losing my Etymotic ER6is, I needed a new set of headphones for my shiny new iPod Touch. Having read all the Amazon (and other) reviews for Shure, Etymotic and other makes of in-ear headphones between £70 and £150 it seemed like the SE210s offered a good balance of comfort, price and build & audio quality.



But I really am disappointed: the soundstage is flat, the overall sound is confused and the top-end is not clear. Given the reviews, I thought that it might be the iPod, so, ever hopeful, I tested the Shure's on my main hifi system and then tested the iPod with other headphones to be certain. I then tried all sorts of music - classical, dance, hip-hop, rock, jazz etc but found that it really is the Shure's that are lacking.



I will confess to being a bit of a stickler for audio quality and I'm sure that many people will be perfectly happy. These headphones are comfortable, seem well built and I like the matching mic and remote. But sound quality is the most important thing for me and I would happily buy much more expensive headphones if I could afford to lose them!



I am now saving up for a new pair of ER6is - I know that some people have had trouble with them, in fact I found the Shures more comfortable, but the sound quality is genuinely outstanding.

 "Not worth the money" 2010-05-27
By S. Haskins
These earphones produce the most detailed sound of any I've used so far, there are too many bad points....



The main one is the lack of bass. If the iPod/Phone had the facility to adjust the base levels I would pass on this point, but they don't. The only one available is Bass Boost which the iPod can't handle and the sound becomes distorted. This is unacceptable for earphones of this price.



The memory foam earbuds are a very good idea, (you squish then up, pop them in your ear and wait for them to expand) but they wear out very quickly and are fiddly to put in as you have to hold them in your ear for about 10 seconds whilst pulling your ear lobe down until foam expands. Not very convenient if you're walking along the street and you fancy listening to some music.



The Silicon earbuds are similar to those found on most earphones, but they put too much pressure in my ears and I found them uncomfertable after a short time. They work their way out and I found myself constantly pushing them back in.



The cable goes around your ears and under your chin, however this causes problems with my glasses. when I try to wear them like conventional earphones, the weight of the cable pulls them out of my ears.



All in all, the detail these earphones can extract from the iPod is exceptional, but the lack of bass means they only get 3 stars.

 "Great sound but VERY bad reliability" 2010-05-23
By J. Dominguez
First pair broke within the first 6 months of purchase, left headphone stopped working.

Sent back to the address customer service provided and received a brand new set very quickly, so thumbs up for the customer service.



I am writing this review because my second pair has now broken a month after the warranty period, this time I can just hear constant static every time the cable is slightly moved.

The sound that these headphones produce and the customer service are great no doubt, but the reliability of this product is a real letdown.



Having used the product for 2 years I also notice that the cable is too heavy and the headphones constantly have to be repositioned in the ear or they drop out, and is very noisy as it bounces about when on the move ruining the sound quality.



If you are willing to spend this amount of money on a pair of headphones no doubt you want to get the right product...This is not it.

 "No Bass!!" 2010-04-27
By SonofSob (London)
These sound very clear indeed and you hear things in music that you hadn't noticed before.....but where is the bass?



Would recommend for classical, accoustic music etc but for modern rock, hip hop, pop avoid these and get some Klipsch X1 instead(on amazon today for £17.99), they have all the clarity of the Shures as well as perfectly balanced bass - best earphones I've ever owned.

 "Earphones (with amazing sound) for noisy places" 2010-03-23
By Senior Consultant (London)
Now, I've never liked in-ear earphones before trying these ones, mostly because they never stayed in place in my ears (I suppose my ears are a little smaller than average). But the Shure Se210's come with a good selection of sleeves, offering something for all ears; and one of the smaller ones fitted my ears perfectly. With that the earphones stay well in the ears and the blocking of outside noise is nothing sort of amazing. I can easily ignore people talking to me, which sometimes frustrates my colleagues.



Now even after getting these (I've had them for 6 months now), my favorite ones still are the Bang & Olufsen ones (which I've had for years). They have a hinge that goes behind the ear and leaves then the speaker right in front of your ear. So the design isn't as intrusive as the Shure's. But because of the design, in a noisy place you have to turn the volume really high to hear them properly. This obviously is annoying for two reasons. First, I don't want to listen to my music too loud. And second, I absolutely hate those people who have their music so loud you can hear them half a carriage away in tube.



So I needed something that would work in noisy places such as the tube or the street. The noise canceling headphones (as brilliant they are) are still too cumbersome (and a bit too expensive for the purpose). So it had to be noise blocking. Now, I had a pair of decent Creative noise blocking headphones, but I never liked the sound of them (it was as if the sound was coming from under ground), and I was a bit afraid that it would always be a problem with noise blocking headphones. But after trying out the Shure ones, I found this to be not so.



The sound (despite the speaker being in your ear) is clear and very balanced. These are no bass boost earphones. If all you want to hear is bass, then these are not the headphones for you - stop reading. Now I mostly listen to heavy metal, classical with some pop/rock thrown into the mix and these earphones work perfectly. As many other reviews I read also highlighted, the focus seems to be more on the high and mid ranges, with the bass not dominating, but being in balance with the highs and mids. Though I now often have to set the volume on my mp3 player to absolute minimum so that it's not too high in some situations (for me that is, others have no chance of hearing anything from your earphones).



Now that being said, I do still prefer my B&O headphones, because they don't stress my ears as much as the Shures ones do (you can still keep the Shrue's in your ears for 6hours and be fine). But the not in-ear design leaves you feeling more free and I think the sound is marginally better (well they are marginally more expensive). But if there is noise in the background I always switch to my Shures, which actually is quite often. So yes, I do like these, a lot.

 "Sounds great, a bit difficult to get used to" 2010-02-20
By Christian Hammer Nielsen (Denmark)
I guess it's just me but I was worried at first that the discomfort of wearing the SE210 - even with the smallest foam pads - wouldn't subside. I gave them a week but after a day or three the discomfort had subsided and the sound isolation is still great. I guess I must have a small meatus acusticus externus.



The sound quality - paired with my Cowon S9 - is fabulous. Granted, these are my first non-standard earbuds but I'm amazed at how I can distinguish the different instruments far better than on anything else I've listened to. For example: A bass thump is no longer just a deep thud but a bass-string and a bass-drum being struck at the same time. Yummy.



Don't listen to the people complaining that the bass in these earphones are inadequate: My guess is that they have either failed to place them _inside_ their ears correctly or they haven't bothered to adjust the equalizer for their speakers (earphones). On my Cowon S9 I use the BBE Earphone setting and it sounds great. And I haven't even bothered to try out any of the many other EQ options on my Cowon S9.
