Comfort - The comfort is great with the foam ear tips, the pressure quickly disappears after putting it on, while with the silicone ear tips, it may feel slightly uncomfortable. Although the silicone tips are easier to clean and more durable, the foam tip on the other hand are more comfortable with better isolation. Also, IEMs don’t protrude in the ear so you can wear it while lying down.

Design/Build - The SE-215 is a critical listening in-ear that is versatile enough for most uses because of the simple wired design. It provides a more comfortable fit than a typical in-ear headphone, passive isolation is also great with a proper sized tip, and sound quality is a bit better than the high-end models.

Build Quality - It is excellent in general, made of hard plastic that may not be as durable as metal built earphones but still it holds up very well. They’re very light and comfortable to wear. In no way it felt like it’s gonna break or crack. Overall, build is quality is good for the bids themselves similar to the rest of the SE lineup.
Build - The SE-215 looks identical to SE-315 and SE-425 with similar angled earbuds to better fit ear contour, a pseudo ear hook design making it stable for sports. The earbuds look and feel premium, cable is thick, and there’s a transparent variation offered.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
Design - The SE-215 doesn’t really look similar to other earbuds because it is an in-ear headphone that went under several meaningful design adjustments to fit the extra hardware inside. There’s also an L and R label on each earpiece though it wears off easily.
Details - It’s great for a musician, specifically a drummer, also the details on the earpiece are just something.

Ear Hook - The SE-215 have a stable ear hook design making it above-average for sports as they don’t move much even during exercises. They’re also decently light, comfortable, and compact to carry around. It only lacks an in-line control. The pseudo ear hook design that’s flexible enough makes it stable for sports and working out, since it won’t fall from you ears unless the cable gets hooked onto something.
Foam Tips - The foam tips can provide a better seal and different sound with more bass and warmer sound as compared to the silicone ones.
Material-Color - The earpiece is made of hard plastic, it is offered in different colors including black, white, and clear.

Portability - he SE-215 is as portable as most in-ear headphones, it fits easily in the pocket, and aren’t much of a hassle to carry all the time with its decent carrying case.

Bass Accuracy - The bass is great, although it lacks in the thumpy low bass. The mid-bass adds a touch of extra body to the guitars, and an extra punch and kick for the drums. The high bass exudes warmth, when overemphasized it becomes boomy and muddy. The 7HZ Timeless is an IEM with more even and neutral base range.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
Bass - The bass is noticeable but not too bassy. It gives a good bass, and mids but the highs are being rolled of a little though it makes the music very pleasant to listen to for long periods at high volumes.
Breathability - Unlike most in-ear models, the SE-215 is very breathable and will not make you sweat more than usual even during heavy activities. It’s got an ear hook design that are thin that doesn’t make too many contacts with the ear.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
Comfort - The part that goes around the ear may feel uncomfortable at first but you’ll eventually get used to it after a while. Finding a comfortable fit may be tricky at first but once you get used to it, it’s just like putting on a normal pair of earphones. The only issue is the lack of in-line controls.
Durability - After being stepped on, only one bud was damaged, which the user reattached using a super glue and epoxy, and so far it has held on for more than a year.
Kay Dubz
08/07/2019
Frequency Response Consistency - The frequency response consistency in the SE-215 is excellent. If the user achieves a proper fit and air-tight seal they will be able to get consistent bass and treble delivery.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
Gaming - The SE-215 is only subpar in terms of gaming. It can provide a decent sound, comfort, and no latency wired connection but there’s no in-line controls, and it’s also not customizable like a typical gaming headphone. The short audio cable won’t be convenient as well though it can provide audio when connected to Xbox.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
Imaging - The imaging performance of the SE-215 is excellent, with a weighted group delay of 0.08, which is very low, GD graph also shows that group delay is below audibility threshold, ensuring a tight bass and transparent treble reproduction. The L/R drivers are also well-matched, which is important for accurate placement and localization of objects.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
In-Use - The user finds the SE-215 to be uncomfortable as it keeps falling until they realized that they were wearing it the wrong way.

Isolation - The memory foam when worn slowly expands inside the ear, which helps in providing good isolation that you won’t hear any external noise. Overall, you just have to choose the right ear tip size to achieve the best isolation the IEM can provide.
Leak - The SE-215 is mediocre for office use, it barely leaks and blocks a lot of passive noise. There’s also a number of connection options, but no mic for calls. Although it provides a comfortable fit, it still may not be the best headphones to use for the entire work shift.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
Leakage - It doesn’t leak in the bass and mid-ranges but a significant portion of leakage is in the treble range of 4KHz and 6KHz, which is a very narrow range. Overall leakage is also very quiet. With a music at 100dB SPL, leakage at 1 foot averages 22dB SPL, and peaks at 34dB SPL.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
Lows - Lows sound good enough while the bass is detailed and has a punch though it may be too loud or crunchy at times. Other headphones can’t provide the same bass from Shure headphones, it is one of the best headphones to look for if you want a considerable amount of bass in a mix.
Head-Fi - FloEisX
06/18/2019
Mid Accuracy - The mid-range is good enough with a 4dB bump in low-mid, which is actually a continuation of the high-bass overemphasis. It tends tou thicken the vocals and make the overall mix sound cluttered. On the other hand, the mid-mid, and mid-high are well balanced that the upper harmonics of vocals are reproduced properly.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
Mids - The mids are warm, soft, and doesn’t stick out as much as in other headphones. Overall, it sounds good, balanced, and perfectly fine.
Head-Fi - FloEisX
06/18/2019
Noise Cancellation - The isolation performance of the SE-215 is great, though it doesn’t have ANC, it can still provide an impressive amount of isolation. In the bass range, it can achieve 15dB isolation, in mid-range it can isolate 23dB, and in treble range it can reduce noise by 36dB, though they’re not very effective around 200Hz like other headphones.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
Overall Sound Signature - Overall sound signature is neutral, but versatile in providing coolness and warmth to songs, treble isn’t brash, and bass response is its biggest weakness, is accurate and triggers with a food “oomph”.
techradar - Cameron Faulkner
03/19/2015
Performance - SE-215 may be more obtuse than an average earbud but it is packed with fantastic drivers, and while the design may be a little hard to adjust to, rather it will help you feel welcome with its excellent audio performance.
techradar - Cameron Faulkner
03/19/2015
Seal - The foam tips will take a few seconds to adjust and block all the noise but is actually effective as it creates a good seal when worn. It’s as good as headphones with ANC. Also, you don’t get a hiss, and no discomfort even after long periods of time.
Kay Dubz
08/07/2019
Set-up - It has a simple 1/8” TRS audio cable with no in-line controls, and it will only provide audio when connected to a smartphone, PC, or console controllers.
RTINGS.com - Sam Vafaei, Marc Henney, and Yannick Khong
06/27/2018
Sound Quality - The lack of wideness in the sound is disappointing, for a 100 bucks of price. Another thing is the higher frequency that sound thin after longer sessions of listening, which can get quite exhausting to listen to as they don’t stick to the background.
Sound - Most people think the sound is great but it’s not excellent nor bad. Overall, it’s got a clean, very warm and rich sound. The bass is good overall plus the great sound isolation, and clear sound. The cymbals, highs, medium tones, and lows all sound great.
Soundstage - The soundstage is kind of mediocre, which may be because of the single micro driver. Overall, the soundstage is largely dependent on the activating resonances of the outer ear while the design itself fully bypass the outer ear and don’t interact with it. Also, because these headphones have a closed-back enclosure, their soundstage won't be perceived to be as open as that of open-back earbuds.
Treble - The treble performance is mediocre, overall response is a little uneven. Low-treble is balanced but narrow and peaks around 5KHz, there’s a wide dip around 7KHz which negatively affects the presence and brightness of sounds, peak at 10Hz can make some S and Ts sharp and piercing.

Usage - When the cable is tucked in your shirt, it won’t flop as much making it easier to workout. The earphones need to be worn in a way that the cable will wrap around your ear, which is different than usual earphones. It’s a great option for a running earphone.

Comparison vs 1More Triple Driver - For sound quality alone the SE-215 is overrated, it’s bassy and a bit muffled. 1More is better in any possible way, it’s best to take on short trips while the Shure is best to for long plane or train journeys because of its comfort, good sound, and isolation, also it’s more durable. Both are reasonable choices for audiophiles. SOund signature in SE-215 is dark, lacking in detail and brightness while the 1 More have present treble, stronger bass, and more V-shaped sound profile, less isolation as well.
Comparison vs 7HZ Timeless - 7H7 are better than SE-215 as they have a planar magnetic transducer design that reproduce a more thumpy and punchy bass, overall neutral sound profile, and more comfortable.

Value - Shure is underrated. It is already a bargain for the price of $100 coming with great fit, isolation, and a replaceable cable.
Value-Cleaning - It’s more bass heavy, but great sound for a decent price. What potential buyers should know is that the plastic side on the ear tip gets dirty real quick, and keeping it clean is a must for maintaining a good sound.

Custom IEMs - The sound quality had reduced from the 2017 to the 2018 version. The cable wasn’t the problem as it was also replaced. Alclair is a great IEM. MEEs and Shures are both offered at a good price but have bad quality. A custom IEM would be the best choice if budget is not a problem.

In-line Controls-Missing Controls - If you can overlook the lack of in-line controls then it is a great device. However, the lack of in-line controls also affect its usability in a crowded bus or subway car if you have to get your phone to change songs or adjust volumes. Although for an additional $50 you can get an in-line control and mic, which remedies the problem but it would be better if it’s already included in the retail product.
