Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Pleasant, easy-going tuning
  • Blocks outside noise extremely well
  • Tough detachable MMCX cable and many tips
  • Comfortable enough for long use
  • Warm, detailed sound with full bass and vocals
  • Pro build: Kevlar-reinforced cable, secure moulded fit
  • Foam tips shut out almost all noise

Cons

  • Highs above ~6 kHz are rolled off; little sparkle
  • Shells stick out of the ear
  • Rounded-off treble makes lively tracks feel tame
  • Bass is its weakest area
  • No controls or mic on the standard cable
  • Over-ear fit takes practice
  • Bulkier than most earphones
  • SoundGuysFeb 2025

    A dependable wired IEM for musicians and listeners: pleasant tuning and superb isolation, but treble detail is short. Tested the no-mic SE215-CL.

  • What Hi-FiApr 2019

    Pro-grade build and kit at a lower price; rich, weighty sound with good bass and mid detail, though some will find it lacks excitement.

  • TechRadarMar 2015

    An entry-level IEM with lively, versatile sound and a fit you can shape; one of the best deals then.

  • Expert ReviewsJan 2012

    One of the best earphones for the money at launch: a step between audiophile sets and muddy mainstream ones.
