Shure was never likely to disappoint us with its new entry-level earphone offering and such an expectation was more than justified. Summing up the Shure SE102s in a single sentence is ridiculously easy. If you have £70 to spend on some earphones, buy...

Open, balanced and engaging

Not the greatest lookers

Not the most promising looks, but the Shures are assured music-makers

Good sound quality for the money ; Modular cable design ; Isolation sleeves cut out 90 per cent of ambient sounds

Not as good as other models ; Can sound harsh ; Bulky MicroSpeaker housing

A big step-up from the earphones that come bundled with most MP3 players, the SE102s are capable of producing a surprisingly decent sound. True audiophiles will quickly want to upgrade, however.

These Shure earphones are better than the standard ones you get with budget music players, but if you've bought a quality MP3 player from Sony or Philips, you're likely to have some half-decent earphones as part of the package and these don't add much...

The Shure SE102 MPA Sound Isolating Earphones come with a music phone adapter cable that includes an inline mic. Audio quality is generally good for both calls and music, and the cords seem durable.

The Shure SE102 earphones don't come with as many eartips as others in the line; not all users will be able to get a secure and comfortable fit.

The Shure SE102 MPA Sound Isolating Earphones are definitely a step-up from the headset that came with your music phone, but not everyone will find them comfortable.

Perhaps the most pleasing feature of the SE102 is the price. At 52.99, they are very good value and make an ideal replacement for the earphones that came with your iPod

Same as the previously renound EC2 model. Excellent balanced sound. Superb price. 2 year guarantee. Wicked passive sound isolation means it won't drain your battery, doesn't need to be pushed to volumewise for enjoyable sound and won't bother fellow...

This updated version of the older model doesn't come with as good a case and choice of ear plugs. The older one had three sizes of foam, rubber and silicon ones.
