Armageddon « Excellent but ... »
Published on 05/01/11 at 13:42I use them for 1 month in rehearsal with my band (I am a drummer).
This is the first time I try monitors "in ear" and I appreciate the level of definition and precision found in relation to listening live.
The ergonomics are excellent, it fits in place, it made me look as made to last.
The cable is detachable headsets. I learned it was an evolution created by Shure to circumvent problems of previous lines or cable was molded into the headset: when the cable broke, the headset became unusable and had to replace everything. Now with this solution, if the cable undergoes a problem, it guards the atria and buy a new cable (cons by Shure). The fact that the cable connector into the headset turns on itself is also a great idea: no twists or "fangs". To complete this famous cable has, just after the atrium, some slightly stiff who can hang around the ear and left in place.
The SE215 as the range also comes with several tips of different size and material to suit the tastes and ear canals of each. There are 3 sizes closer to the wider and 2 materials: foam and latex.
The soundproofing is extremely effective. Ambient noise and even my battery as I violently beat up right under my nose does not go too wrong. It can therefore be well to concentrate on the mix sent in the ears. This also has the advantage of reducing the noise level as would hearing protection, and that while keeping an accurate listening.
So far I played with ear plugs. These primarily block the high frequencies while reducing the sound. It had the advantage of protecting myself, but then we play without some of the sound spectrum, with a sound somewhat muffled. Thanks to the monitors of this type, we protect ourselves from dangerous amounts of heavy metal while hearing well (for everything that can be transplanted well and well mixed).
The sound of the SE215 is pretty good. Tested on an MP3 player that is very correct. on the other hand, repeating or live situation is a bit tight.
Indeed, these headsets are critically short of capacity has to produce low frequencies. Besides, starting from a certain volume (say powerful without being too high) while the low saturate and it becomes disgusting. If you push a little big is the distortion! Yuck.
I find myself down a bass EQ for bass and my drums to have good sound and loud enough. In the end we play with sound too shrill. Too bad!
The price is honest and can draw (like me) who want to test the return in the ears at an affordable price.
If I had to redo the choise I will immediately have a higher end model like the SE425 or SE535 which reproduce better bass apparently (not tested yet).
Otherwise I will stay well on this product range of Shure SE as very thoughtful and very well done.
I recommend the SE215 cons by bassists and drummers who will cry for not having their serious and quickly find themselves in a situation sound even worse that the game (when we play poorly understood badly, even if one intends to others).
