Shure has created a superb set of earphones in the shape of the SE420s. I maintain that the E500PTHs are still the best earphones that money can buy, but the SE420s are a far more affordable option. As I said earlier, if you've been lusting after the...

High-quality audio performance. Excellent sound isolation. Excellent fit in ear.

"Cable thump" is intense-not ideal for gym use.

Equipped with a fit kit for all ears, the SE420 blocks out noise and makes beautiful music, eschewing flat response for a stronger bass response and crisper high end.

The Shure SE420s are a solid pair of headphones. Their frequency response graph wasn't bad, their distortion was fairly low (to the point of not being noticeable unless you were looking for it), and they can isolate better than any other headphones...

Surprising sound quality

Overly deep bass, Expensive

If you're a fan of in-ear phones the SE420 may be just the set for you

The headphones also have a very short cord, which is the perfect length for connecting to an arm-band media player. For those who don't wear arm bands, there's an extension cord included that lets the headphones reach down to your front pocket. The...
