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

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

The bottom line: 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.

CNET editors' review

  • Reviewed on: 05/06/2009

Shure has several models in its SE line of in-ear headphones, starting with the SE110s ($90 list) and moving all the way up to the SE530 ($500 list). Its newest model for 2009 is the SE115, which, at $120 list, is a step-up from the SE110 but still would be considered more of an entry-level model in the Shure line. The SE115s feature Shure's signature sound-isolating design and the Dynamic MicroSpeaker technology, which purports to offer a "warm, detailed audio listening experience." We're not sure we agree with the last part of that statement, but if there's one thing the SE115s do deliver, it's bass.

The SE115 earphones are Shure's most colorful set, available in your choice of black, red, blue, and pink versions. Like all Shure earphones, these come with a collection of foam-tipped and silicon eartips that let you find a nice, snug fit for your particular set of ears. The SE115s also feature an elbow-style plug that helps prevent shorts in the cord from having it yanked on or bumped when it's plugged into your MP3 player. Another plus: a protective carrying case is included.

    Summary: Available in four colours, the Shure SE115s do offer fantastic audio performance for the price. And for £99 we would have recommended you be wary before buying them - to make sure they were right for you. But for around £66 and falling, these are a steal

    Summary: Most of Shure's range comes in sober black-only: the SE115's are available in blue, red, and a rather fetching shade of hot pink. You're also not short on accessories: Shure bundles an extension cable to go with the attached 45cm cable, allowing you ...

    Summary: With more bass and a lower price tag than most Shure models, the SE115 will appeal to those looking for a budget-friendly earphone upgradebut not to those who want flat response.
