Must buy for Classical and Jazz Musicians.......2007-12-09
All is said in the title. A system with two drivers and a tweeter, r u kiddin? However the only way you will get the absoulute full benefit of these headphones are if you import your music at 256kb.
Excellent IEMs.......2007-11-08
I lost my previous pair of canalphones, Sony MDR-EX90LP, and decided to purchase some really high end canalphones. (or in ear monitors or IEMs as I will refer to them from now on) I purchased a pair of the Shure SE420 IEMs and haven't regretted the purchase for a second.
These IEMs sound absolutely incredible. They sound is so clear and detailed that I notice new details in songs that I had listened to dozens if not hundreds of time. In a complex musical passage it is easy to follow every note of a single instrument which is not an easy feat with most headphones. Some may argue that the bass is a little on the weak side with these IEMs but I would beg to differ, I find it extremely precise and detailed, never boomy or bloated. I will admit that these sound a little thin (bass shy) when hooked up to my iPod Nano but when I hook them up to my portable headphone amp they really wake up and sound incredible. These IEMs prompted me to order a new portable mp3 player based on sound quality (the Sony NWZA818) because these IEMs revealed the sonic shortcomings of the Nano clear as day. If you are willing to spend the money, I think you will be happy with these IEMs, I know I am!
E2, E3, SE420--all good choices.......2007-08-26
As I indicated in a prior review, I purchased some E3's to upgrade from my E2 when I bought a new ipod. I loved the E2's and as expected the E3 were even better--with more definition at all frequencies and sound levels.
Earbuds (or plugs) definitely have some sweet fit spots to get optimal bass and avoid some tinniness that you can hear when they are not inserted or sitting correctly in your ear. Shure provides a number of ear plug options to help everyone find something they like.
Now, I have compared the E3, the SE420, and my Bose Quiet Comfort headphones sitting in the rear of a jet while traveling (next to the engine). The less expensive E3 beat out the Bose headphones with better high and middle end definition and equivalent outside sound isolation. The Bose headphones have a bit better low end.. but nothing is bone shaking with earphones or headphones anyway. I almost think that the Bose headphones seem muddy in the mid and upper end after listening to the E3 and SE420. The SE420, in my opinion has a richer sounding mid end then the E3, while handily beating the Bose headphones. I think that the bass and most of the high end frequencies are about the same in the E3 and SE420--maybe pushing your budget to purchase the E3 or equivalent... since the E3 cost $179 or so, and the SE420 cost $350.
As for Shure customer service--I had a suspected loose wire in one of the E3 earphones (used for 8 months) leading to dropouts when I would move my head. I got a return form off the Shure website--filled it out and sent it along with a copy of my receipt to Shure. Within 10 days, they had sent out a completely new pair at no charge. THAT is great service. In the meantime I purchased the SE420's while I was waiting for my E3 "repair". I just had to have another pair and my budget could tolerate a higher price point.
I understand why price does come into some consideration on rating, and $350 (at an Apple retail store) is pretty high end for earphones, but considering these SE420's sound better (to me) than the E3--I am only rating sound quality. With price considered, the SE420 would probably only get a 4, simply because the E3 is a great value.
I would recommend the entire line of Shure earphones, buying whichever one best fits your budget.
Great IEMs...after you break them in and fit them correctly.......2007-08-12
After doing a ton of research on In-Ear Monitors, and comparing the E4c's, the Etymotic E4-P, and several other models, I decided to go with the SE420s. It took me a while to get used to these IEMs, since I had previously been using some Etymotic E6i's. These SE420s have a much wider sound stage, with great bass and midtones. It has taken me some time to get used to the rolled-off treble that is characteristic of the Shure line. However, after experimenting with the different sizes of foam inserts, I finally was able to "lock-in" the sound with these 420s...and, I must say, it is definitely worth the time that it takes to get them right.
I listen to an extremely wide variety of music, from classical to electronica, to pop, to rock...you name it, I've tried it with these 'phones. I'm really happy with the satisfying bass that these produce. Mind you, it is definitely not overpowering like some might like, but it feels overall tonally balanced, and for headphones as small as these, it is quite remarkable. What really wowed me as I've broken these in has been the clearness and sophistication of the midtones that these IEMs produce. It feels like there is such a concentration on bass and treble (essentially, the extremes) these days, that really good-sounding midtones are harder and harder to come by. That is certainly not the case here. And speaking of treble, I definitely would not call these overly bright, but after I worked to get the SE420s fitted right, I am happy with the higher-frequency characteristics of these IEMs. The treble is not "in-your-face" but is definitely well-balanced and just "sounds right." And I found that turning up the volume slightly on my sources helped to bring out the high-end better, while never distorting the low end. This is probably just part of the sound characteristics of these IEMs.
Overall, I feel like the SE420's are worth the 5 stars. I admit that patience is necessary to get them fitted right and broken in, but if you are willing to work with them, at this price segment, they really are great.
Triple.fi and SE530 are MUCH BETTER.......2007-07-22
If your considering buying these earphones, I highly suggest you take a look at the Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro or the Shure SE530. The Triple.fi's retail for the same price($399.99) and according to EVERYONE, the Triple.fi walks all over these. If you want Shure's, the SE530s are AMAZING! earphones which are $299.99 now on this website but retail for $499.99. Choosing between the Triple.fi 10 Pro(more refined-sounding) and the SE530(more full-sounding) depends on personal taste, but both easily surpass any other earphone on the market besides the custom molded Ultimate Ears UE-10 Pro(THE BEST) which retail for $900.00.
