I haven't heard the original se215 myself. From what i know the only difference is that they are not as much bass intensive as the LTD and also not as rolled off on the highs. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing.
The standard uses the same drivers and dimensions. The sound channel is the only difference between them. Hence a flatter response on the originals.
They are not reference quality IEMs. So to add some character and making them really "cool" to listen to is a good idea by Shure. The reason I love those blue buggers is because they have so much character, it is like if they said: "screw you, I will play this the way i want!"
That been said, the original IEMs are better rated at this site.
Thanks again, actually your reviews did help my brother a lot, he owns UE900 but complaining that it's lack of bass and he wants something that is fun, so after reading your reviews for the price and SQ I think I will recommend him the SE215
