 Couldn't be better November 19, 2007

These are very good. Yes they fit tight in your ears but if you want a good sounding set of buds what do you expect? I travel alot and love the heavy cords as they are less likely to break if snagged. They are also short which is good, I clip my Ipod shuffle to my shirt pocket and they just reach my ears-perfect! I don't understand the negative comments regarding having to loop the wires over the ears, I let them hang with no problem. There is also an extension if they are to be used with a stereo or computer. A nice case for us travelers and extra foam buds was also a nice suprise, in short they couldn't be better. I bought a pair of Bose over the ear headphones prior to these and the sound quality of the buds is as good as the Bose.

Pros
Warm sound
Effective isolation
Wide variety of eartips
Cheap (relatively)
Cons
Lacks dimension
Sound not balanced
Can't fit everyone
These are my first pair of canalphones, and they do not dissapoint. The first challenge on opening the package is finding the right tip for you. Fortunately, the small foam tips almost fit. I can't really blame Shure for not including freak of nature sized tips, I suppose I'd have to go to custom molded ones to get a great fit. But regardless, once the foam expanded again, noise isolation was very good. Testing a variety of music, I found that dance, techno, hip hop is where these phones really shine. The warm slant really works to their benefit. When playing rock and acoustic, it didn't detract from them. But when I put on the Brandenburg Concerti, something interesting happened. It exposed their lack of spacial dimension, and balanced sound. So, if you listen to more modern music, these will work quite well. But, if you need a balanced, monitor-like sound, these are probably not for you.
 Shure SE110 Ear Buds October 18, 2007

Once you get them in your ears, the sound is great. I listen to books on tape as I travel to and from work. I have found that they cut outside noise down sufficiently for me to listen at a comfortable volume, but they can be irritating to get them in your ears. I use the foam pieces and have found it tricky to loop the wire over your ear, squeezing the foam piece at the same time, and then mashing them into the ear canal and holding until the foam expands. The ear bud is a nice size which means there is a certain angle you have to insert them and invariably, the wire comes off my ear. You then have to readjust everything. I've never thought of myself as uncoordinated, but perhaps there is just an easier method to doing this that I haven't found yet. Anyone have a suggestion?
Update...in response to the 3 suggestions offered...thanks! They were very constructive. Tightening the wire at the bottom helped greatly as well as forgoing the 'loop' over the ear. They actually fit better without 'looping'. I also took the suggestion of ordering 'flange' tips made of silicone...excellent idea.
Excellent Sound - Takes a bit to understand how to use November 14, 2007

I recently purchased the SE110s as a replacement for my BOSE over the ear sound canceling headphones that broke (cheapo plastic didn't last even though they were always in their case and handled carefully).
Although I was initially frustrated with the sound, I learned from reading that I wasn't using them right. The secret is to compress the foam and insert them into the ear and hold while they expanded back to make a snug fit. Once you figure this out, the sounds is amazing.
For me, the fact that they are small and easy to carry around, plus are only 1/4 the price of the BOSE headphones, I am very happy.
Good, but no great November 28, 2007

I have been using expensive earphones for the past two years and have gone through many companies trying to find the best earphones for under 200 dollars. I currently have v-moda vibes, regular ipod, super.fi 5 pros, and SE110 earphones. I have been using these earphones for about a month now and can say they are pretty good earphones. I listen to almost all types of music from pop, classical, alternative, hard-core rock, and even some techno. I mostly listen to rock, but I listen to the other genres as well.
I say these headphones are good, but not great because they are good for certain types of music. If you are into rock are hard-core rock I would not recommend them because they are a little muddy on the lows. If you are into pop or any softer genres I would recommend them because they have great sound quality.
A few other nit picks are that they fit very deep in the ear canal. I like my v-moda phones because you do not have to put them that deep and still produce great sound. These are meant to fit deeper and they create better sound isolation I would say. They feel very much like ear plugs when you put them in. If you are not comfortable putting thing deep in your ear canal these are not for you. The cord is also very thick. Some people may like this because it means its sturdy and wont break easily, but for me it makes it hard to flex and move around. I like the more flexible v-moda and super.fi 5 pros.
In sound quality these are much worse than the super.fi in all ranges of the spectrum. The super.fi are only 40 dollars more expensive and you take a huge step up in sound quality. The v-modas are worse than the SE110's in the mid and high, but much better on the low end.
If I were just to buy one pair of earphones in this price range I would definitely go with the super.fi 5 Pro's. They are the best for the money. Both the super.fi 5 pros and the SE110's have a two year warranty so you don't have to worry if they some how break on you in the next two years.
