  This are highly recommended. I was using dr. dre beats solo and I was encouraged to try these. I got and it was like I had super human hearing, I could hear everything so clear. It was amazing the best earphones ever. If you're a musician you should have a pair of these no doubt.

• excellent sound, take the time to set them up right

  Most of the time, I prefer to wear over-the-ear cans for sound quality, isolation, and comfort, but they're not always the best choice for yard work or exercise. I'd never had much luck with earbuds, finding the plinky sound unsatisfactory, and the need to constantly press them back in my ears irritating, so I was excited when Shure first came out with their in-canal plugs a few years ago. They sounded tremendous, it didn't matter if you got sweaty, and they stayed in place pretty well. The insulation on the cord was a bit stiff, though, and I found that they were sometimes difficult to keep looped over my ear because the cord would spring out when I turned my head. The new SE315s are a major improvement. They still sound awesome, and Shure has made a bunch of little tweaks to the old design to make them more usable, starting with a very pliable mesh cord-wrap, which is slim, clear and lightweight. It has a shape-retaining sleeve near each ear-pod which keeps the over-ear kink in place better. Another welcome touch is the removability of the cords from the phones themselves, and the tiny sockets swivel freely, making positioning in the ear a very light touch. Shure also provides a large selection of ear canal adapters to fit your ears, and the way you may use the headphones, including several sizes of silicone mushroom caps, and cool memory-foam wads that expand in place. If you have ever used industrial hearing protection, you know how well this works for isolation and fit. All of this may seem fussy if you just want to drop your headphones in and listen, but it makes a huge difference in how comfortable the phones are to wear, how good they will sound, and how little you will have to readjust them as you work or move around. I would imagine this also makes the SE315s decent monitors on-stage.

• Excellent Sound

  
  As reviewed by David Golobay on 4/25/2011

  In the worship band that I play in we have been looking at reducing stage noise which means inevitably dropping off monitors. Everyone has been trying it and I had as well with regular ear buds. With regular headphones you miss a lot of the tones and things become indistinct and muddy as I am now finding out. So we bought these and today was the first day of giving them the test run and they are amazing. Once the sound levels were set I could hear everything from the bass and bass drum to the highs coming from another electric guitar player. It was most excellent and I would strongly recommend these to anyone. In fact there are more people on the band looking at picking these up now too.
