Great quality headphones - almost like moulded.
I tried a friend's SE215s before I bought these and they were literally the best headphones I'd tried, especially for just how much noise they cancelled out. I opted for the SE425s as they were within my price range and I wasn't and remain not disappointed. Despite not having 'noise-cancelling' built in, the fit is incredibly snug and they come with a range of various tips so you can choose whichever option you feel most comfortable with.
They do get a bit of getting used to in terms of comfort, purely because most other 'normal' headphones don't go into the ear as much as these do, without buying a set of mouldies, however the SE425s also have a really useful tightening slider which means they remain firmly in place, exactly how you want them to be.
A really great set of headphones soundwise as well, the dual drivers provide well enough pump for the bass, you don't need to turn up the volume very much at all. And let's face it, who really needs more than two drivers?
I'd recommend them for anyone looking to buy a pair of £200 in-ear monitors or even general headphones. I tried some Atomic Floyd headphones the other day (also around £200) and they were shocking for the price - great packaging, but a poor sound quality, they didn't stay in the ear and a shoddy cable. The SE425s have a really durable cable as well which doesn't look set to break anytime soon.
Great headphones basically! Just make sure you turn your phone to silent when walking around or there's absolutely no chance you'll hear it…!

Using on drums
Very good sound insulation when I am drumming. Good sound on frequency spectrum. I hate boomy bass.. I hear fat bass but not boomy. Crystal clear mid nd highs. Very nice sound for snare, kick, bass and guitar. I use at home for practicing or on stage like inear.

Exceptional neutral in-ear monitor
Having come from bassy phones like the SE215 and Beyer's DT770, I never though I'd love a pair of headphones with such a neutral signature so much.
Though not quite as comfortable as the SE215s (you may have some fit issues with small ears) they still fit snugly and aren't irritating after any period of time.
Having become accustomed to their neutral signature, I find myself now unable to listen to bassier phones since the whole frequency mix seems unbalanced.
They do however fall off slightly at the high end which costs them a bit of detail up there but also makes them less fatiguing to listen to.
The level of detail on instruments they provide is superb and accurate, the build quality is good, they're comfortable, the soundstage is pretty good for in-ears...
If you're looking for a pair of neutral in ears for reference listening or just portable use, this is exactly what you're looking for.

Perfect entry to IEMs
I needed a basic IEM for some of the projects I do and these just work well. The sound is absolutely great for my needs. They come with a variety of generic buds for your ears, but can be upgraded to a custom mold. I also like that the Shure IEMs can be serviced and replacement parts purchased if necessary, but so far after 6 months of use all is still well and I'm happy with the product.

Best headphones I've ever bought
I've used these both live and in the studio for monitoring, and I must say, the clarity is amazing. You hear all components of the mix from the bass up to the cymbals no problem. The plugs have a perfect seal, blocks almost all noise or sound on the stage, you won't have a problem with your ears ringing after your gigs anymore after buying these.

Complaint from partner!
The sound isolation from these in ears is so good I can here GF - Bought for stage environment but loving them for at home use - With FLAC music on phone they are beautiful. Cant wait to try them with live sound :-)

Great sound and comfort.
The best sounding earphones I've bought. Lovely crisp highs and punchy bass. Excellent as in ear monitors.

It doesn't matter how you use this
It doesn't matter how you use your earphones. These are really good to listen just music or use these as an in ear monitors on stage. Very good to hear everything. Price for this product is right and I suggest everybody to choose this ones' instead of more expensive ones.
I like that earphones has a bag with them. Otherwise it is really easy to lost them.
Buy shures and you doesn't regret.
Unfortunately I forgot my earphones to an Airplane and now I need to save some money to buy new ones!

Great quality for the price
I use this on a daily basis with my TD-27. It's my first pair of in ear headphones so can't really make a comparison but it's performed great for recording and rehearsals. Noise isolation is actually very VERY good.
For my personal taste, the cable length could be a bit longer but that's just me.
I totally recommend this product!

In-ear monitors for rehearsal
Bought these earphones for monitoring during rehearsals & live.
They sound very good overall, good headroom and decent audio reproduction.
