Shure - SE425

I feel that the SE425s have a very selective hearing experience. They are supposed to be mid centric, but that isn't totally true. Electronic sources such as the synth and guitar sound really good, whereas acoustic sounds are lacking. The so called timbre of the instrument is virtually absent. Same can be said about the vocals.
It's like food without smell. The bass is a bit too low so everything sounds flat at times. I'm no bass fan, heck this is a statement coming from someone who owns a pair of HD 558s, so when I mean there is no bass, I don't exaggerate, and let's not forget that these aren't open aired, that only makes my comment worse. I think the highs are rather decent, not too great, not bad either.

I want to mention specifically that cymbals on drums make me cringe. I have heard absolutely no worse sound than that. Even a set of rs 700 earphones would do better there.

Also, recordings matter. Some songs sound absolutely brilliant and some absolutely horrible. You might be wondering how I even mentioned absolutely brilliant. That's the funny thing, these earphones are so random, they surprise you at times. And maybe that's why I mentioned specific hearing.

My final verdict being, that I wouldn't recommend these, they are too selective to enjoy. I prefer the sound of a klipsch s4 which is 20k cheaper when we talk mrp.

PS. You will need to make sure your ear tips fit you otherwise you may get a heart attack when you hear em (they are unusable otherwise) . Try using a cloth and follow the same instructions.

Also, I really liked the free comply foam tips I got. Extremely nice. I'm using those at the moment.

I've been using this for the past 15 months. Purchased on this website. upgraded from a Shure SE215 SPL edition (the blue one) Highly recommended for the Indian commuter. Also works on stage as in-ear monitors. Cuts out a lot of noise. Brilliant image and Detail. Unforgiving with badly mixed songs. It reveals the real recorded and mixed quality of your favorite song. Really shines with vintage records like those from Motown etc... The bass is placed precisely places at the bottom of the image. These earphones also tend to "disappear" - Sounds like your standing right next to a guitar amp. I have used this to mix a few songs which came out well. So works as a sort of budget reference earphone (I used this with a Focusrite interface) for mixing as well.... Cable seems to last a year as mine seems to need a bit of adjustment to work. The advantage is that I can replace the cables.Not recommended for the "Bass head"

Good in-ear fit.
Good build quality.
Audio quality offered is nothing short of astounding.
Value for money.

Been using SE425 for just over a month. Extremely satisfied and nothing to complain about. Sound and build quality is amazing. The cables are extremely durable (unlike the frail cables of my old Bose headphones).

Advice to future buyers:
Do try all provided sleeves as you never know what you are missing until you discover the right fit. I was satisfied with the attached black comply tips for about 10 days, until i tried the triple sleeves - pictured below. The difference was wonderful. The sound simply comes alive, fits more snug and provides almost 100% noise isolation.
The triple sleeve are the most uncomfortable and borders to being painful. But give it a few days and it gets more bearable. Almost 20 days down, now and i don't feel the tips anymore, only pure music and complete silence in between. The difference in sound quality and noise isolation is totally worth the initial effort. (Some people suggest trimming the tip to make it comfortable.)

Thank you Headphonezone for the good service. No problems with the order and delivery.

Love the product, the sound & the experience of dealing with Headphone Zone. Thank you.

Shure SE 425 are THE BEST flat sounding earbuds .. I am an artist and was looking for flat earbuds to through my songs mix sent by my engineer and these are amazing .. they sound icredibly correct . I really recommend these and people who say that these lack bass 🤔idont know what to say but they sound amazing . Awesome sound stage with incredible bass ,treble & miss.. really happy with headphone zone's customer service and guidance ..👌🤘

Excellent Shure quality all around. Amazing array of accessories: much more than expected or will ever be used. The inclusion of cable in an IEM was a very pleasant surprise. Enjoying the experience. Detailed sound quality review after some quality listening experience.

These are deceptively hard to drive, neutral, and transparent. If you are spoilt by other colored sound then this will sound boring. It took me 6years and dozens of headphones/earphones to understand these earphones.

First of all i received a genuine product from Headphonezone , Thanks a lot guys , but i got a problem in the bluetooth , the wire was good but not the wireless , i purchased this to have a wireless experience , but then the sound was not loud or least audible in the bluetooth module , i cannot even return this product , its not even been 24 hours yet , and tells non claimable cuz i exceeded 7 day return , and the fun thing is i ordered this on 12th sept and received on 17th sept , good delivery as well , but then cannot return a faulty headphone :(
