" ... Sound quality on my samsung S7 is about 80% what it is when corded. ... I have also been able to improve the quality by using different bt and sound engines on the S7. ... "
" ... And while one has something stuffed in their ears it might as well be nice to hear some music or some talk radio. ... Once again I recommend these highly to anyone wanting good sound quality whether they're on a bike or just mowing the lawn or just sitting in your room they are fantastic. ... "
" ... The sound is really good. ... "
" ... - Sound quality -- there is a noticeable drop in audio quality from wired. ... Audio UI guidance in headphones is fine. ... "
" ... I wanted to know about how long I could play music before they would quit. ... These are advertised for playing music for 8 hrs. ... I am absolutely thrilled with this (as with all Shure products), because I don't have to sacrifice music quality and I don't have to worry about recharging in the middle of my travels. ... "
" ... These headphones have delivered on nearly fronts! ... Sound quality is more than adequate. ... Vocals sound very intimate. ... The headphones respond decently to EQ, but I found that a lot of my music still lacks the "sparkle" compared to my other headphones. ... These headphones also completely blocked out someone trying to talk to me. ... Vs. Audio-Technica ATH-M50x: I found these to be comparable in overall sound quality, with a slight edge to the ATH-M50x, especially in the highs and soundstage. ... People claim that the HD598's have a flat sound signature, and they do for the most part. ... "
" ... When I connected with my SE846s the sound is just acceptable, sound not powerful and not crisp, the sound stage not wide as with the stock cable ... BTW it's good Bluetooth upgrade for your Shure SE series if you think you can accept with a bit lower sound performance from your current SEs with a cable ... "
" ... The sound quality is still excellent with only slightly noticeable drop in the low end. ... "

" ... my headphones are wireless. ... Pairing is pseudo intuitive. ... "
" ... Ok, the main reason that I wanted Bluetooth capability is because I travel A LOT! ... Anyway, paired them up to my Samsung phone with no problems and started the music. ... "
" ... -Wireless means I can ditch the tether to the phone, which works well for me ... "
" ... BTW it's good Bluetooth upgrade for your Shure SE series if you think you can accept with a bit lower sound performance from your current SEs with a cable ... "

" ... Great pair of wireless headphones. ... "

" ... Awsome to be able to fo cord free on my 215 and 425 headphones. ... "
" ... Even if other notice a quality drop, it's still better than off-brand Bluetooth cables. ... Cable is high quality and when you turn it on it will announce an accurate time of how much charge you have left (big plus). ... "
" ... If you do deplete the cord completely it will take a little over 2 hours to recharge which is absolutely acceptable to me. ... "
" ... Really wanted to cut the cord between phone and headset. ... When I saw this, the benefit of not having to tangle around wires and audio jacks to lightning adapters made it worth a gamble. ... "
" ... I'm so glad Shure created this cable. ... I also purchase the lightning cable that I really enjoy, but this is exactly what I was hoping for. ... "
" ... I've been using the cable for 5 days and really like and highly recommend it. ... "
" ... I have had good success the the microphone despite the somewhat awkward placement when the cable is worn behind the head. ... "
" ... My Shure buds (SE535) with this cable sound better than any other Bluetooth alternative out there. ... "

" ... I don't have any issues like others have had with the battery and controller which I just clip to my collar with the included clip. ... Battery life is okay. ... I am getting about 6 hours. ... "
" ... Distance, battery life, ease of use, and sound quality were all great. ... "
" ... I wanted something that I didn't have to worry about recharging for at least 10 hours, but figured 8 would be acceptable. ... If you do deplete the cord completely it will take a little over 2 hours to recharge which is absolutely acceptable to me. ... "
" ... Battery life is fantastic, and the connection is strong even from across the room. ... However, this does have the benefit of making the headphones very easy to listen to for long hours (I've listened for 6 hours). ... "
" ... It's very convenience when you go wireless, easy to connect, great battery life ... "
" ... Pro's: great battery life ... "
" ... Battery life is VERY close to advertised 8 hours. ... "
" ... I'll gladly put up with this if it holds up well and truly does give close to 8 hours on a charge. ... But after seeing the lack of play hours on other wireless cables without the battery pack, I'm thankful it's there. ... "

" ... I highly recommend these earbuds. ... "
" ... Works with all Shure SE model earphones. ... "
" ... The headphones respond decently to EQ, but I found that a lot of my music still lacks the "sparkle" compared to my other headphones. ... These headphones also completely blocked out someone trying to talk to me. ... Here, I still find the Sennheiser's to be the superior headphones. ... "
" ... It is well worth $100 to get myself a very nice set of wireless headphones. ... "
" ... Great pair of wireless headphones. ... I use the wireless adapter with my e535 earphones as well. ... "

" ... I ride a motorcycle and the wind noise alone makes you want to wear earplugs. ... Not only do they fit in the ear perfectly, they have a molded plastic section that occupies your whole ear opening plus a softphone insert that goes into the ear canal, but the sound is incredible. ... They stay in the ear as well which is very important. ... "
" ... Comfort (4/5): This is probably going to hit or miss for people. ... I find the Shure's comfortable enough. ... The headphones are much more comfortable one everything is adjusted to fit you. ... "
" ... As much as I would love to say that I liked how they fit in my ears, the way they looked, the way they sounded, but it all get diminished once you actually realize that I'm on the second unit and still get that click sound (a tiny moment of no sound then back to sound), ALSO, being a musician and music producer who have fancy sound monitor in my studio, the quality of the sound is nothing WOW. ... "
" ... Even the ear wires are quite friendly to shape around my Obama-like ears comfortably and securely. ... "
" ... They fit perfectly in my ear and do not fall out while working out or running. ... "
" ... Jaybird X2: These never fit my ears right. ... The silicon tips feel like sticking suction cups in my ears, and the wing tips cause my ears fatigue after about 20 minutes. ... Conclusion: If Shure earbuds fit your ears and you want them mostly wireless get these. ... "
" ... Hands down the best sound fidelity from a pair of bluetooth earphones i have owned (the larger over the ear headphones are not being counted here). ... "
" ... As far as comfort and fit goes, that's always going to vary. ... and if you use the right size, and warm them up a bit by giving them an extended pinch, they expand for a perfect seal. ... "

" ... Product defect, the control voice is too loud, for my SE535. ... "
" ... To skip a song or to replay it, you press and hold the volume up or down. ... I'd much prefer double taps than a long press. ... Also, i can't seem to have it go back one song, instead of replaying the same one. ... You have to hold the play/pause button until it beeps. ... "
" ... The buttons won’t even depress. ... "
" ... -Can control volume and track via controller, as well as integrated mic ... "
" ... The problem is that you turn the volume down one more step, it is off! ... No fix for the volume problem available. ... "
" ... The inline mic control is quite far from your ear. ... "
" ... I knew that there was a problem when the volume started to involuntarily lower to zero, and the buttons on the remote would not do anything. ... Once inside, I disconnected the SE215s from my iPhone via the iPhone's Bluetooth menu (SE215 remote buttons continued to be non-functioning). ... Ten or so minutes later, I attempted to power off/on the SE215s via the power button, only to have the LED go solid red and nothing else functional (cannot connect to iPhone, power off/on, etc.). ...

" ... If you are looking at other headphones in this price range I can assure you they don't compare to these. ... "
" ... Pros: Mostly Wireless (make some truly wireless version of these and i'm in regardless of the cost) ... "
" ... Good stuff for the price. ... "
" ... Turns out, that's probably some of the best audio money I've spent. ... These aren't perfect compared to earphones that cost more than three of these. ... For what they cost, I don't think you'll get more bang for your buck. ... "
" ... I have always considered the Shure SE215 as best bang for the buck and sound is similar here. ... "
" ... Best bang for your buck. ... "
" ... They are a little expensive if you are used to budget earbuds, but well worth the price. ... "

" ... Have been using it at home with my phone (Pixel 2) with no problems at all and not a single drop out. ... I guess it depends which device you are using it with, even though they're Bluetooth 4.0, if you use an older device with older version of Bluetooth, it won't work as well as newer one. ... Works really well with my Nvidia shield, when connected to my phone it seamlessly transitions between the shield and the phone ( whichever is active), very convenient! ... Have been enjoying these for three months without an issue or a single drop out (connected to pixel 2). ... "
