Does anybody know if there is any difference between the regular edition and the newer 215m+ (the white one)? They are $20 more expensive, but I don't know if it just due to the mic on the cable that they come with.

The official model designation from Shure when launching explains it perfectly: SE215m+SPE

On the other hand, someone could think that being flat across the board, as you mention about SE215, is more preferable than some elevated bass and treble, as you hear on the SPEs. Are the SPEs, according to you, more of a V shaped iem than the flatter 215? If so, seems that the SE215s come closer to being reference iems than the SPEs...

Definitely not v-shaped, not even close... again, a very, very, very minor boost in the bass and tiny elevation in the highs but the rest of the signature is perfectly flat and neutral.  Bass is very controlled still and not fully emphasized nor nearing the boomy/thumpy terroritory like most v-shaped signatured IEMs.
So more like a:  ̺

Maybe I should have phrased that better. Is there a difference in sound between the two models? Or is it just the mic? Are they like the regular edition in sound or the Special (blue) edition?

I bought my daughter a pair and they sound exactly like my blue SE215SPE-A (aka SE215LTD).

So they are basically the LTD (blue) edition with new cable and white housing. Thanks, was debating which one to get so I will go for the SPE ones.

bought a pair of white m+SPE's, was disappointed by a few things (unamped iphone 6/MBP):  
 

1. comfort/fit - tried all the tips but the earpiece itself was far from ergonomic. got uncomfortable rather quickly
2. sound - mids were smeared/bloated, poor separation. 

 
ended up returning them and got MA750's which were significant improvements across the board, even exceeded my expectations. 
 
fwiw, I own a pair of SRH-1540's which I love and was long hoping to find an IEM equivalent of.

Hi guys..what are some recommendations for comfortable, form fitting non-tangle replacement cables? I dont need a mic. Just better cables than stock se215. Thanks!

What about the ones sold by MEE Audio? Can be had for $30 at Amazon and their own website.

Thanks for the suggestion. Mee audio seems to have many types. Is there one in particular?

The ones that comes with the Pinnacle P1. They sell them separately as well, right now the ones with a mic and the regular ones are the same price on Amazon ($30) and they also have a fancier one for $40.

Any good alternatives for the authentic one?

Can't you just read the previous post, instead of asking the same thing?

Sorry I didn't know! If you cannot buy from internet, then you should stick with Shure cables which are sold to many places around the globe. In any case I have been using Shure cable without mic with the SE215 myself and I can say it's one of the best cables around. Long enough to allow you move, really really strong and sturdy and not that easily tangled...Good enough...

Also, Shure cable is the only one, at least to my experience, that produces zero microphonics...
