SE210 sounds as good as the SE420! Save your money and get the 210s,
By Julikat (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shure Se210 Sound Isolating Earphones- Black (Electronics)
I tried the SE210s as I'd sold my E4gs and was looking for something that would perform well with all styles of music, rather than just acoustic and classical. My friend just got the 420s and out of curiosity we compared both headphones side by side. Well, the 210s sound excellent considering they're the cheapest new Shure SE model and I didn't feel that the 420s were good value at all compared with the 210s. The 210s cost half as much as the 420s and are much better value for money. The produce a lovely full sound with vocals being beautifully presented and upfront - the 420s muffle the vocals slightly which I found distracting as I like the vocals to be clear.
I'm not a bass junkie and found the bass to be perfectly adequate, but I was also happy with the bass on the E4Gs. They don't have quite the same clarity in the mids as the E4Gs, but it is still much better than other heapdhones in the same price range. With the E4Gs, turning the volume up made them so 'bright' that my ears would 'ring' when I took them out - the 210s don't suffer that brightness at higher volumes which makes them a more suitable all-rounder for my listening preferences. If you're still considering buying the SE420s, at least try the 210s first. They're about half the price and sound just as good, but even better with vocals. You could save a lot of money.

It takes a few days to appreciate these headphones and a bit of experimentation to select the best sleeve and position relative to the ear for you. However, after listening for while, it dawns on you how much you have been missing. I have re-learnt how to listen to music and have been forced to re-rip my music in to a higher bitrate as these headphones pick out all the flaws of a poor qualiy rip. I am hearing for the first time, the sound of a guitar string slightly hitting the fretboard, the sound of the artist taking a short breath before singing and the sound of the pianist's stool creaking as they lean to press the piano keys. These sounds are all in pieces of music that I would have previously considered to know inside out. I now get pleasure from the music and from the simple act of listening to it. Additionally, putting these headphones in your ear and playing music even at the lowest volume creates your own audio world where the music is centred around you with all other noises blocked out. I find them comfortable and discrete. I would emphasize that it is important to select the best sleeve and position relative to the ear for your needs to fully appreciate these headphones.

Good headphones, poor reliability,
By DF "DF" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shure Se210 Sound Isolating Earphones- Black (Electronics)
I've just returned my second pair of these headphones to amazon.co.uk. When they work, they're great - good selection of pads so you can get a good fit and isolate yourself from outside sounds. Music sounds good and they work great with the iphone microphone cable from Shure if you have an iphone. HOWEVER, both of my pairs have developed the same fault - the sound became very faint in the right ear. Maybe I was unlucky, but I'm changing brand!
