I just ordered a pair of shure se215 in ear monitors and I was just wondering if these headphones could be considered audiophile headphones? Also if I were to buy a portable amp would it increase sound clarity or just volume from my iPhone/macbook pro? Thanks, sry if these are stupid questions but I'm quite new to all of this

Did you pay over a hundred? If yes... Audiophile.

The amp will allow better performance than un-amped, IMO.

Enjoy your headphones, Jim

not too sure whether they are "audiophile".
They just sounded good to me, and TS you wont feel regret for the purchase.

They're entry level IEMs. And the way I see it, an audiophile is just someone who appreciates listening to music from good quality earphones and could not have it any other way. But these are more or less not what you're referring to as 'audiophile', nevertheless, they're good, especially for the price.
