Hello all, does anyone know the cheapest source for these headphones for a Canadian? My only option I found so far is Amazon ($50 shipping) or B and H Photo ($36 shipping).   Thanks in advance!

Hello my fellow Head-fi'ers. So I've been using my Shure SE215 at work as I detail vehicles and often use noisy equipment such as polishers and my Shure's have been a fantastic blend of sound and noise insulation. Well today my left IEM decided to crap out despite me trying everything to fix...

So I finally caved in and bought the SE215, they are in my ears as we speak, fresh out of the box without any burn in, and the sound is.. well fantastic!! I will get to that later.   First impressions, accessories wise the SE215's are real winners, a fancy pouch, 6 pairs of buds to make sure...

Quote: Thank you sir for the great write up! Since you are a fellow M50 owner, may I ask you how do the se215 compare to the M50? I love the sound signature of the M50 and I want a pair of earbuds that sound similar (more bass would be nice since bass nicely drones out the noises of...

Quote: Thanks for the reply my friend. Sorry to keep pounding you with questions, but I also noticed you had a pair of M50's. I currently have a pair and I love em! The soundstage, lows/mids/highs is perfect for me. Could you do a dirty comparison of the 2? I realize they are different...

A fellow Edmonton (or should I say.. Deadmonton) Audiophile! I didn't realize they were out so fast, I will probably go pick up a pair and have a listen! Quote:  

I owned both the HD555 and M50's. I'll tell you right now, I sold my HD555's for the M50 and never looked back. The HD555 were stupidly comfortable headphones, great sound stage and superb clarity. The only draw back was they lacked bass. Even when plugged into my Harmon Kardon Reciever, they...

Me too! I'm holding off on buying a pair of SW X-scapes until, hopefully, a comparison arises. I'm leaning towards X-scapes because they lean towards the bass, but I want to know if the se215's have decent mids and highs as well.   Quote:  

FANTASTIC thread, I have learned so much about the IEM's out there. I was just wondering if you have any plans on reviewing Shure products? More specifically the Se215 that were just released, it would be interesting to see how they fair against the competition!

I was just about to post the same question as the OP! I just purchased a pair of M50's which replaced a pair of HD555's which I sold (they lacked bass and I needed some noise canceling). What do you guys think of the Sunrise SW-Xcape? From what I read they have some pretty solid bass as well...
