I have tried Shure SE215 along with numerous other top end brands and have never been satisfied with the sound I get on stage. Always to much high end and no warmth...I decided to give these a try as the look appealed to me, they very much look custom in every way and from reading the specs. Two gigs later and I can say I am very pleased ! Vocals have nice warmth, no harshness, the fit is super comfy and they provide great isolation ! I should add that I am a drummer in a classic rock cover band, anyway These are gtoing to sell well once they catch on ! the price is crazy low for the quality you get ! Awesome !
