ShureSE215 PRO Wired Earbuds - Professional Sound Isolating Earphones, Clear Sound & Deep Bass, Single Dynamic MicroDriver, Secure Fit in Ear Monitor, Plus Carrying Case & Fit Kit - Clear (SE215-CL)

So, I’m coming from the Apple EarPods, probably one generation back or something; they noise canceled and all of that. I didn’t want another pair of wireless headphones, because of the waves and it probably being bad for your brain or body. Who knows. I did a little research and read they may be really good for during fitness use. So far? They are killer. The foam like ear piece is more comfortable, I think. They give you two types and three sizes each. Don’t try to pull the foam one that comes on the earphone off, use the tool they include to remove it, I tore them both haha Luckily, it’s not the size I needed. They mold to your ear and fit like an ear plug- that may feel funny and take some time to get used to. The sound quality is great. Some funny Reddit boards suggested you have to break them in. They sound great now, so, they’ll probably be killer after ten hours of listening. I haven’t had to use this function yet, but the cord detaches in case you have to replace it. I ordered a connector for usb c and audio jacks to use it with a newer iPhone. Highly recommend so far :)

No helmet - sounds great up to 55 mph/88 kphHelmet - sounds great up to 75 mph/120 kphWhen going on long rides at high speeds I wear a helmet with ear plugs, this is why I purchased these ear buds. Wearing the Shure 215s in place of disposable ear plugs works out well(for me). They cut out roughly the same amount of wind from your ears as disposable foam earplugs while affording you the option of listening to music. For this use I would recommend buying a pair. There are a few things to consider though;No HelmetFor riders who do not wear helmets you can ride at 70 mph/112 kph with the earbuds staying firmly in place. I didn't try riding any faster because once they do pop out at those speeds it would be a total loss.On my first attempt I just pushed the earbuds into my ear with one hand and found that they started flopping around at 50 mph/ 80 kph. On subsequent rides I pulled on my ear lobe with one hand and pushed the device into my ear with the other. This seats the earbuds properly in your ear but...after an hour or so your ear will become sore. These come with 3 different sizes of ear attachments in foam and 3 in silicone. I started with the mid sized foam which is what is installed out of the package. I tried the small size next to alleviate the ear pain. This worked for just walking around but failed miserably when I rode a motorcycle. The wind noise was horrible, going 30 mph had as much wind noise as going 60 mph while wearing the mid size foam attachment. My head circumference is 24.25 inches/61.5 centimeters and the medium attachment is the proper size for me.Using the proper size attachment, wind noise isn't noticeable up to 55mph/88 kph. It will not become overwhelming if you keep your speed under 75 mph/ 120 kph. I can hear my single piston 650cc enduro just well enough to tell which gear I am in at low rpms although this takes some getting used to. No problem hearing my 1,000cc v-twin sport bike engine.HelmetI have had zero issues putting on or taking off helmets. The earbuds remain firmly in place and have never given a hint of coming out. Once my helmet was on the earbuds felt like they were in the same position as when the helmet was off. I wear a SHOEI GT Air for street and a Troy Lee for dirt, this was true for both. Wind noise was not an issue up to 75 mph/ 120 kph. I could still hear the music well into the triple digits although it was roughly a 60-40 wind to music ratio at those speeds. For all tests I kept the volume at safe levels. You could easily drown out the wind if you turned the music up loud.When wearing a helmet you do not need to seat the earbuds fully into the ear canal with both hands and thus you can wear them for extended periods of time without getting sore. If you ride a bike with factory exhaust there is a good chance you will not be able to hear your engine at low rpms while wearing a helmet. I would recommend wearing a pair of disposable ear plugs before purchasing this product, especially if you are a new rider. Try riding without being able to hear your engine before spending money on these, you may not like it.

These clear Shure wired earbuds are what you want if you don’t want to appear on camera wearing those stupid giant “cans” on your head in your YouTube videos and in your video podcast episodes. Slick, tidy, almost invisible and the sound monitoring quality is outstanding. Of course they work well for listening to music and other audio purposes too. But these are monitor earbuds and are meant to monitor sound as you’re recording. The price while not cheap isn’t expensive at all either. Very good value for money. They’re almost invisible from the camera’s perspective in front of you while making video. While they are not noise canceling they fit so snug into the users ears almost no extraneous sound can be heard in normal recording environments while wearing these excellent earbuds. Highly recommended.Only downside is they take a little getting used to wearing the wire up and behind your ears and then down behind your head neck and back and under an arm to go to plug into your soundboard or interface or device. But this is a very minor issue.Again … highly recommended. Unsightly “can” headset monitor earphones begone! Buy the Shure monitor earbuds instead and look slick and comfortable and like a normal human on camera while making your videos!

I'm a worship guitarist for my local church and these are the best in ears I've gotten so far compared to an old cheap pair I got for 20bucks. I'd say this definitely a good investment if you're a musician or just starting out with playing and for experienced musicians this is a great backup pair. I am able to hear everything on the track and click and the the bud does a great job of cancelling loud sounds, although you'll still hear audio from the speakers bleed in a little bit. Its very portable and I kinda wish the case for it was bigger since I put all my adapters and picks into it and wrapping up the cord is a bit annoying. As all IEMs are the cords are never long enough so get an extender cable. As far for durability it is definitely made for frequent stage playing and travel and can break if you don't take care of them, if you take good care of you equipment these will last you, only issue is sometimes one of the buds can just stop working all together because of wiring but other than that they are very reliable. The color is amazing, it doesn't impact performance or anything, I personally bought clear ones because it was what my friend had. I honestly wish it was cheaper but in the musician world nothing is cheap so this is pretty worth the price. If you are just starting out I'd say to get these so that in the long term you wouldn't have to upgrade since these give really good quality audio, so much so I'd rather wear these than my air pods and other headphones. If you're on the fence about buying, just buy it trust me it is a great purchase.
