4.0 out of 5 stars
good, but not the most comfortable, 13 Feb 2009
When I first tried using these, my first impression was that the bass was poor. However, a little experimentation revealed that you really need to push them in to get the best sound. Since I figured that out, the sound has been excellent and I'm very pleased. The only problem is that with them pushed right in, they're not the most comfortable for lengthy listening sessions.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding. Superb build and sound quality!, 20 Dec 2009
Previously I have owned two pairs of Shure's E2C earphones, and it was due to the excellent sound quality and durability that i purchased these. They have a slight improvement in terms of sound quality, and defiantly more robust build. I use these jogging and unlike alot of earphones they always stay snug in my ears, this is what first sold them to me.
The Noise Cancelling is superb, to the point of being dangerous! You are totally unable to hear traffic, which can be a blessing, but I sometimes need to take out one earphone to make sure.
Shure's 2 year warranty stands up well as after owning a pair for 18 months one earbud stopped working, and the headphones were replaced asap without questioning.
It is worth nothing that although they fit perfectly in my ears with the correct size earbud, other people seem to struggle to get a decent fit due to the unusual shape, so they are not for everyone, but its worth seeing if they work for you.

The best single driver earphones??, 18 Dec 2009
Definitely!! Only had them for 3 days or so and they are just amazing. I previously owned sennheiser CX300's then CX95's which were good but nothing on these shure's!! At first they were strange to wear and they do have an odd shape, but after a few hours they are fine. Shame there are no foam tips - something which I would recommend in investing in.
The SE102's perform amazingly with all types of music, even when there is a song with say heavy guitars, synths, bass, drums and layered vocals they are all clear and well mixed. Something that to better would mean forking out for a decent pair of multi-driver headphones (over 100 quid for a something good!). The sound is crystal (and i mean crystal) clear, and I hear new things in most songs every time I use them (such as in Muse - undisclosed desires, the whispering voices in the second verse). I have been listening to Score by dream theater and the sound is just unbelievable with the orchestra just sounding brilliant, im amazed every time they are turned on. They blow the sennheisers away in all departments apart from the bass (where the shure's slightly lack. And i mean SLIGHTLY - not to the extent of older shure earphones!). I guess the lack of is due to the compromise of having such clear sound, which im not bothered about, and nothing a little bit of EQ'ing cant sort! The cables are also really sturdy and thick and I get no noise from then they rub on something. The noise blocking from these is great too, I cant hear a thing while listening to music, even when outside in a busy street!
Overall, for 60 quid - best bang for your buck you'll ever spend! If your looking to spend £40-80 on new earphones, GET THESE! Simple.
