Shure's SE115 is a decent set of headphones, and most will appreciate the quality for the price.

Shure SE115 review: Shure SE115

 

Shure SE115

The Shure SE115 earphones offer a comfortable fit; full, beefy bass; multiple eartips; and a useful carrying case.

The SE115 earphones' sound isn't as detailed as we would have liked.

While they fall short on clarity and detail, the Shure SE115 earphones deliver impressive bass, making them a solid option for people who listen to a lot of hip-hop and reggae.

Shure SE115

 

Shure's SE115 earphones buck the company's tradition of flatter response in favor of a heavier low end.

Strong overall performance for the price. Solid bass response. Secure fit.

Boosted bass and treble may disappoint audiophiles. Some potential harshness in the mid-high frequencies.

Shure SE115 Headphones Review - Intro

 

The SE115s are Shure's new entry-level edition in their popular SE series of in-ear headphones. At first glance, there isn't much to separate the SE115s from the rest of Shure's options. They have the same design, their performance results have similar...

The Shure SE115s are a nice option for $120, but it has some harsh competition at this price point. They did have some issues in our testing, specifically our frequency response test, but still remain solid at their price point. If you're looking to...

Shure SE115 Earphones

 

Shure is a well recognized name in the hi-fi audio community, with over 80 years of experience in the audio industry. Headphones, in-ear monitors, microphones and headsets are the “bread-and-butter” products from Shure and they have a well established...

Comfortable fit and great isolation from outside sounds, mids are buttery smooth, modular cable design is handy

Overly warm sound, pricey compared to other entry-level choices

My listening habits, and I suspect the listening habits of most people, demand a more versatile set of earphones. Suffice it to say that the competition level for earphones in the $100 price category is rough, and there are other choices which stand...

Shure SE115

 

The Shure SE115s are a new entry-level set of in-ear headphones. The SE115s are quite similar to the other headphones in their series (SE210s, SE420s, SE530s, etc.), but come with fewer extras. They only come with three sets of foam sleeves and three...

The Shure SE115s are currently available for about $120, although savvy shoppers will be able to find it at a significant discount

Shure SE115 In-Ear Headphones Review: The New Top Buds

 

Shure's SE110 earbuds emerged victorious in last summer's in-ear headphone battlemodo, delivering great sound quality and value. Now the new, improved SE115s have arrived, promising superior bass handling over its predecessor. Do they meet expectations?

The SE115s outperformed the SE110s in both instances, able to put that extra rumble in your head without losing the nimbleness and the dexterity of the music. Mingus' beefy double bass, in particular, took on new life with the SE115s stuck in my...
