Powerful, thud-tastic bass, Wide soundstage, Class-leading cable quality

Not the most detailed treble

Impressive bass output ; Excellent noise isolation ; Convenient detachable cable

Soundstage can get a little cluttered ; Not the most comfortable buds ever ; No built-in controller

The Shure SE215 are a solid pair of earbuds that offer impressive bass levels and fantastic passive noise isolation. They’re perhaps not the most comfortable earbuds on the marketm and the soundstage can get a touch cluttered at higher volumes, but all...

Understated design ; Affordable ; Personalized comfort ; Vibrant sound

Lacks in-line controls ; Slight learning curve

Looking to step up your earphone game on a budget? The Shure SE215 deliver stunning sound and personalized comfort at an entry-level price. It's one of the best deals out there.

Pro build and features ; rich, weighty sound ; good mid/bass detail

Not as driving or sparkly as we'd like, thanks to that rich character

Shure’s top-end features filter down to an affordable level

The most impressive sound quality of all the earphones tested here

Expensive; inverted design meant that the SE125s kept popping out; difficult to swap earbuds

Perhaps the most impressive test here, though, was classical piano, where we were treated to a rich, dramatic sound, with even the excellent-sounding Altec Lansing headphones unable to match the bass presence.

Vibrant, detailed sound. ; Earbuds fit securely and comfortably ; Replaceable cable ; Intuitive controls

Neckband can be slightly awkward ; Securing or taking off earbuds is time consuming

Excellent sound, a great fit, and detachable cables help rank Shure’s SE215 Wireless among our favorite wireless earbuds in their class.

Excellent audio performance. Super-secure in-ear fit, with some passive noise reduction. Removable/replaceable audio cable.

No extra cable included. Mediocre mic quality.

The Shure 215 Wireless earphones are essentially a modular system with both wired and wireless operation if you buy the $30 wired cable accessory. Even at that price—$180—it's a good deal, and no matter how you look at it, these are easily some of the...

Great sound. Cables detach and are replaceable if they wear out. Lots of tip options in the box

They aren’t the most comfortable buds in the bin. Finding the correct seal and fit takes a lot of patience. No remote or microphone, so you’ll be de-pocketing your mobile more often
