Shure SE215 v. Shure SE315 - Page 2

Interesting about the SE215. I don't notice a one note sound to cymbals at all, I find them have pretty nice shimmer and extension. Not as good as my SM3 (nor should it be considering the difference of the price between the two IEM's) but much better than alot of $100ish IEM's I have owned.

Hi,

Sorry to upping this old thread, but I think this is a good comparison between good quality dynamic driver vs entry level BA.

I audition both of them last month. I listened the 215 with silicon tips for like 15 minutes or so with jazz, vocals, accoustic, classics, pop, rock and they're really good. tight controlled bass with good impact, clear mid, crisp high.

then I listened 315 with silicon tips. It's warmer than the 215 but what I think is it's a very mid centric. All I can hear is mid, it's like vocal is in front and the rest of the band is in background. I tried for 5 minutes only as without doubt I much prefer 215.

here's frequency response graph comparison

As you can see the 315 have spike in mids and fastly drop for the highs.

If you see the 215 in comparison you might think it's very bass, but actually it's not. Bass is very tightly controlled.  I think that if the bass is reduced a bit will make this awesome!

I tried westone4 before and it's awsome! but it's different league :D 

Thanks fortheus. I was just looking for something like this

Adding to the people that have only heard one of the two I am willing to share some info on the 315s.

I actually ended up with the 315s after planning to get the 215s. Then my UEs got temporarily put out of comission and I needed IEMs. Problem was the 215s were sold out everywhere and I went for the 315s.

It could have been worse and i am really starting to like them, only issue with them, as many state, is the subtle lack in lows. A temporary fix for this has been EQing it on my Clip+.

Of course soon after getting the 315s the 215s are in stock a bit here and there, and I am getting mad curious about the actual difference.
