215's-Early thoughts-
Received mine yesterday from www.theheadphonecompany.co.uk, within 18 hours of placing the order.
As the previous post says, Joey has these nailed.
FYI my sound sig-so far I have been happiest with Pana HJE900, although their mids were a little recessed. W2's were just too safe and boring, almost veiled for me at the top end and Ety HF2's enjoyable airy but ultimately too clinical.
I'm using grey tri flanges that probably came with my Ety HF2's-these afforded amazing isolation accompanied by unbearable levels of pain with the Ety's but with the Shure's there's nearly the same iso but NO PAIN AT ALL. I could never get comfortable with the Ety fit (or sound). By way of reference Westone 2's and Panasonic HJE900s didn't fit me that well either, the Pana's just too painful over time even with small olives and not isolating quite as well as I'd hoped and the W2's barely isolating at all.
I bought the Shure's as fun IEMs for gym/everyday use and was also just about to order some 3 way customs from a UK company to overcome my previous fitting and isolation issues. I'm now reconsidering buying the customs as I'm so happy with these, for me its unusual that a product exceeds expectation but so far these have.
So far I've tried electronic music and OSTs (Bourne/Dark Knight/Donnie Darko)- all reproduced positively.
In my short time with them, let's say after about 18 hours of play/burn in, they compare favourably with Pana HJE900s in the sound dept but are somewhat smoother, without giving up too high-end energy (def no sibilance issues). They haven't opened up yet as much as the Pana's did after burn in and I'm adding a slope of a few db of eq above 4k but I'm hoping that may become less necessary as they burn in. They don't compete with the airy high end of the Etys but I didn't expect them too. They seem sensitive, but with a little less hiss than I'd expect. Volume level is good and linear, low level listening is still rewarding and revealing.
Perhaps the bass is a little less punchy/textured than the Panas. Not massive amounts of sub bass and not as fast & articulate a low end as the W2's or HF2's I've owned, but with more impact/slam. The HF2's and to some extent Westones' just felt that they were missing an octave at the low end. Shure's seem happy with low or hi bit rate recordings. A warmish sig, slightly warmer than the Panas but not at all gooey. BTW I never found the Panas that warm but I know most around here do due to the mild bass hump. The mids on these are more prominent than the Panas.
Zero microphonics, good quality if slightly long cable, good snap connectors.
I planned to do a 60 minute run with mine tonight but other commitments got in the way, I'll post running impressions another time but I can't see any problems.
So to sum up after less than 20 hours-great value do it all IEM. If they open up some more I'll be more than happy if they're my only IEM, if not then they'll be a stellar back up.
At least you can make the meet. There's a NYC meeting around 15-20 minutes away from where I'll be working at tomorrow that I was looking forward to making 
. Well on the positive side I get to hear about 25 top of the line headphones this weekend which will be much funner than working
