The sound of these earphones are a little underwhelming, though it does partly depend on which set of ear cups you use. The thicker ones sound more muddy and dark. The thinner ones sound a bit brighter. But all of that is kind of irrelevant if you use some sort of EQ. Once I EQed the sound it was great. They are comfortable and stay in my ears well. They come with different sized ear cups which was very useful for me. They seem to block outside sound pretty well. The detachable cord with the option to just buy a replacement cord is brilliant. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

I bought these to replace one of three sets I own as one of the capsules had been stood on and cracked. I am suspicious that these are a clone copy rather than real Shure brand. If not that, then Shure has changed their manufacturing or parts suppliers. These work ok but do not give the same Bass response as my other sets so they sound quite high pitched. There is no Red dot and Black dot on the capsules to show right and left. The cord is much stiffer than the other 2 pairs I have. Also the case is slightly bigger, the lettering not quite the same and the zip runs the reverse direction. However I only need these for occasional use and the price I paid for them was about half what I paid for the others from a music shop so it balances out I guess. The sound quality is the biggest problem if you were needing to use them for a major performer they wouldn’t be acceptable. Martin H. Read full review

I've never tried serious IEMs before. These ones are nice. Sit comfortable, cable noise is rarely heard. I wear them with cables around the ears, as the instruction suggests—probably it's *the* way to wear IEMs, I don't know yet. A few different molds are included, and I think I've found ones fitting. The construction seems to be solid, I don't think I'll accidentally break the cable (as it happened before with cheaper in-ear phones). A downside (probably of any other IEMs as well) is that some time is required to put the phones on or off, probably I'll get used to it though. I like the sound, not too much but enough bass. Probably a bit lacking in high frequencies, but of course that's just me after Beyerdynamic cans that maybe have an excess of those. (Also, I don't know how IEMs should or can sound like, so my opinion isn't really relevant.) I can listen to music on pretty low levels even in a street noise, but it's dangerous in that you may not hear a car driving right behind you.Read full review
Excellent sound quality but takes getting used to for comfort. Doesn't work as well inside my motorcycle helmet as my silicone moulded earphone plugs. The cable dropped out of one earplug and took some getting back into connection. Not as versatile when you are moving around as opposed to sitting still.

Nice long, thick cable. Sound has not enough low end/bass, and way too much high end ringing/squeaking, which was very annoying onstage. I'm a string player who plays in a lot of church bands. I ended up using a low priced but decent quality pair of Xiaomi/Mi Piston 3 phone earphones onstage instead, as they give better results. Even a AU$30 pair of Sennheiser phone earphones gives me a better sound (in my opinion) than these 215s, at less than half the price.
