Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Shure SE210 Sound Isolating Earphones (White)
Customer Review: Great Isolation & Great Sound
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these primarily for listening to non-music on my iPod in noisy places (like the gym, restaurants, main street). I could previously hear well in these places only with the volume high, so thought I might better preserve my hearing by using isolation.
For comfort & general isolation: these are surprisingly good. After trying many of the included earbuds, I liked the default ones best. The isolation is nearly complete - it's now much easier to ignore nearby conversations, oncoming traffic, and street thugs. The earbuds can be inserted loosely, iPod style if you don't want the isolation, but if you want isolation while you're walking, you'll probably have to wear them with each cord up-and-over the ear to prevent your listening experience being overwhelmed by the sounds of the cord stresses with each step (imagine tapping on a stethoscope). note to audiophagophiles: these will let you fully appreciate the sounds of chewing your food and gum.
Hearing Protection: Audio is usually loud and clear around 20-30% of max volume setting on the iPod - by my amateur calculations, assuming this scale is logarithmic (which it seems to be), compared to listening at about 70% of max, listening at 25% is 120K times less intense in watts/meter (I'm not sure if there is much loss as sound hits the walls of the aural canal, but assuming so as a worst case, if the shure earbuds are 20mm from tympanum vs 28mm for the iPod buds, shure at 25% would still be 60K times lower than iPod at 70%).
For sound quality: I eventually listened to music on these, and found the quality surprisingly impressive - clean and crisp, the sound is more like what you would expect from monitors than entertainment speakers.
For travel: after logging a couple hundred thousand miles with the bose qc2, I never thought I'd find anything better, and maybe these aren't. It is very difficult to tell which is better at reducing perceived background noise, and for short trips I now leave bose at home. note: if you plan to listen to in-flight movies, you'd need to find some way to manually reduce the volume leading to the earphones - I find the plane's audio output unsettable to an acceptably low level.
Durability: I hated the thought of having to carry around the ballistic nylon case in my pocket, and opted for a lower standard of care - usually just wrapping the earphones around my iPod and putting it my pocket. After a couple of months of getting tangled in keys, change, etc(?), I'm pleased to see them still unharmed. These are tough!
