Now I wish I could find some other tips
Now I wish I could find some other tips
Any drawbacks on those detachable cables?
I heard that the Shure SE215 special edition has slightly lesser bass and is brighter than the original one right?
Subjective, when i had my se535-ltd-j i came to be not be very fond of the mmx connectors. there isnt really any drawbacks. personally i prefer the pin style connectors. however the mmx connectors can get dirty and this could bring on short outs in sound. however you can clean the connector and reconnect it and you should be good to go.
I thought I would share this PM and my reply for the thread:
was hoping you could help me make a decision about the Shure 215? I already have an main headphone the akg k240 mkii. However I find it too analytical and bass light. So is the Shure 215 more fun to listen too and does it have more bass? I want these headphones for listening to modern pop music and dubstep. Would it be good for those two genres? Finally how is the noise isolation and comfort?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!!!!

Hi,
Apologies for the late reply, just got back from a holiday...to answer your questions:
1. SE 215 has a dark, powerful signature heavy on the lows and mids. You will find it PERFECT for d&b and dub step! It maintains good separation of the low-mid frequencies despite the price- great fun to listen to!
2. I had my SE215's on for the whole duration of Australia to Europe flights twice over the last two weeks and comfort-wise they were excellent, as they were for sound isolation. Both of these dependent heavily on you choosing the right size of tip supplied with the SE's 215.
Suffice to say that after having them on for 30-35hours straight (excl. security checks) my ears did not hurt, a first one for me. I also had them on as earplugs with no music on when sleeping on the plane and they did a splendid job.
You may have seen that I use the FiiO Andes headphone amp to make the most out of the SE's as well as tweak the top range through it's equalizer to balance out the 215's signature. It's optional for you but I recommend this to anyone that wants an amazing listening experience on a budget!
You may be interested in learning that I found NERO's last album through those EXCEPTIONAL via this particular set up although normally I listen to Metal (all genres) and Rock (all genres)
Bottom line: buy them!
Tip: use FLAC format only, you will notice the difference from mp3 via 215's
