The SE425 in-ear headphones from Shure provide top-quality audio in a sleek, compact, noise-isolating design that's ideal for use at home or on-the-road. Based on Shure's experience with professional in-ear monitors, each of the earpieces has dual high-definition MicroDrivers, in essence putting a separate woofer and tweeter into each ear for rich, detailed audio across the full frequency spectrum. The ergonomic, professional design has a low-profile shape with an optimized nozzle angle for exceptional comfort.
The included fit kit contains multiple sizes of ear sleeves, allowing you to find the perfect size for your ear and effectively reduce ambient noise by as much as 37dB so you can focus on your music. The detachable Kevlar-reinforced cable connects to the earpieces using gold-plated MMCX connectors to lock in place but also provide a 360° rotation. This rotation, along with the formable wire, allows you to direct the cable over and behind the ears to minimize snags and tangles. The other end of the cable has a 3.5mm mini plug and a 1/4" adapter for wide compatibility with consumer and professional audio devices. A compact and durable case is included for storage and transportation.

Comments about Shure SE425 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Clear):
I was leary of the negative posts about these headphones, but am I GLAD I ignored them.
I have had two other *high-end* in-ear monitors and these are great at 1/2 the price of the 500-series. The others died death by accidents (don't ask) and these are a welcome benefit of bad luck. Great sound, good design, stiff wires actually AID in keeping them in place. The custom mold offer is confusing, weak and essentially worthless- support a local audiologist.

Comments about Shure SE425 Sound Isolating In-Ear Stereo Headphones (Clear):
First off, I'm a long time Shure fan (particularly for microphones), so I was excited to get these earphones. However I was quite disappointed. The cable is too stiff, they are difficult to insert into the ear, and the claimed 37dB reduction for isolation is way off (probably more like 20-25dB).The sound quality was good, but these issues made them unusable for me. I'm currently using Westone ES2 custom molds on stage and in the studio, and was looking for a cheaper pair of in-ears to also use. I'll stick with the Westones.
