Shure SE210 K Sound Isolating Earphones-Black Review

The Shure SE210 K Sound Isolating Earphones-Black feature Hi-Definition sound with bright highs and enhanced audio detail delivered via the Hi-Definition Micro Speaker and its wider range and greater clarity and detail as compared to standard ear buds. Shure's patented Sound Isolation Technology is used to reduce background noise at a more advanced level than noise-canceling headphones, including not needing batteries and not ending up giving more added hiss. You see, Shure's earphones actually do filter out outside sounds, rather than adding extra overtones into the audio mix designed to "cancel them out".

The Shure SE210 K Sound Isolating Earphones-Black feature heightened sensitivity--1mW: 114 dB SPL/MW; an impedance of 1kHz: 26 Ohms; and a frequency range of 25Hz to 18.5 kHz. The Shure SE210 K Sound Isolating Earphones-Black also comes with a Deluxe Fit Kit which includes: three pairs of black foam sleeves (small, medium, and large); three pairs of soft flex sleeves (S, M, L); a pair of triple flange sleeves; a three-foot extension cable; and a carrying case. In addition, the proprietary Modular Cable Design permits you to choose from different cable lengths to go along with different music player locations such as in your shirt pocket, your pants pocket, your backpack, and so on.

Shure has been a huge name in pro audio for many decades. In the music performance world, their SM57 and SM58 microphones are "the" mics, so it comes as no surprise that they should be making high quality earphones as well. Now, since they are in fact of a different, higher quality, you have to understand that they're NOT just the quick n go insertion ear phones that get sold with every standard MP3 player. What this means for you is that you actually have to learn how to wear them; these sound-isolating earphones need to be placed quite deeply into your rear canal, and you're likely to have to endure a bit of discomfort while you are getting used to them. Don't worry; the sound audio technology is such that you are not going to go deaf, and no your ears aren't going to be damaged. But you've got to see that if you don't know what to do with the fitting of these earphones; you are not going to experience the rich audio dynamics like the rich, but not "blow-out", bass levels. If you don't put this Shure SE210 K Sound Isolating Earphones-Black into your ear in the right way, you might as well be listening to some cheap monophonic sound delivery system. Different sleeve fittings are going to work the best for different people--which are exactly why SHURE has included them.

Shure's sound isolating foam technology is very unique, with its easy compression but sluggishness with returning shape--perfect for a sealing border. So, you just need to learn how to squeeze the foam and compress it with your fingers while you let the foam re-expand into your ear. Ambient noise, even the voice of someone trying to speak to you in a normal voice from only about 10 feet away, will be removed virtually entirely.

So, the bottom line is, you need to get used to Shure SE210 K Sound Isolating Earphones-Black, but once you do, they're easily worth their relatively high price.
