collapse expand iconDescription

Featuring dual high-definition microdrivers, the SE425 uses a dedicated tweeter and woofer for an accurate and balanced sound. Detachable cable with formable wire enables easy replacement and secure, comfortable fit. Sound Isolating sleeves in multiple sizes provide up to 37dB of isolation.

Comfortable sound-isolating sleeves block up to 37dB of ambient noise. Sound-isolation technology prevents outside noise from interfering with your listening experience, whether onstage or on the go. Because every ear is different, the Fit Kit includes three sizes (S, M, L) of the flex and black foam sleeves as well as one pair of triple flange and one pair of universal fit yellow foam sleeves. A good seal is key to optimizing sound isolation and bass response as well as maximizing comfort during extended wear.

A durable and compact carrying case is included to provide a convenient, tangle-free solution to store and travel with your earphones. An 1/8" (3.5 mm) to 1/4" converter for all Shure earphones that offers a solution for home stereos or other applications with 1/4" jacks.

Great IEM's

The sound part of my review is further down. I was looking into buying some new IEM's because I lost my se215's about a year ago. I did as much research as I could, between the Shure se315, se425, se535, Westone Um Pro 10, 20, and 30... long story short I went with the se425's. I give this 5 starts for two reasons, THE SOUND QUALITY, and Guitar Center's Customer Service. I bought these July 2, 2015, I also bought the 3 year Pro Coverage.. I loved how they sounded, but That night I noticed a slight rattle in the right ear bud.. the next day I decided to see if Guitar Center would take them back, as they have a no return policy on headphones.. sure enough they took them back, only thing was they didn't have another pair in stock, so they shipped some from their warehouse. They arrived Yesterday July 7, 2015. Now onto the sound. Just a note: I listen to country, alternative rock, Mexican Music, Blues, Jazz, Gospel, Classic Rock, Classic, Hip Hop.. Lots of other genres. If you do your research you will see that most people say it has more of a flat sound. and that is TRUE. Now some people who don't know what flat means probably think that they suck or something, that is not the case. Now I can only compare these to my 215's because that's all I've ever owned. Bass: The 215's seem to have slightly more bass with out any equalization, but not as pronounced as in the 425's. The bass in the 425's is more detailed, which I mean you can hear every single note played. which in other headphones and even the 215's the bass is more blended with your mids. I'm sure that has to do with the dual drivers. Mids: The first thing I noticed was the punchy sound of the mids, to me this is perfect. It is a nice balanced sound. Highs:The highs to me are "just right", some say the highs are rolled off, They are rolled off just at the point before it hurts your ears, so that I also like. I have not yet used these headphones as monitors in a live sound application, but what I did do was listen to some albums of music I have, that were recorded live, and wow does it sound great! One other thing, I do have an iPhone, and in my music EQ settings I use it in "Rock" because that's where it is perfect for how I like my sound. I have used these for sleeping, they are comfortable. :) I love the quality of Shure products. The quality of these IEM's are outstanding. the cable is thick, some say its bulky, no, its great. Another thing I like to do when I buy a new pair of headphones is test them, I found a great headphone test webpage. To me this is the best test I've found. Check it out. Note: Don't have your volume all the way up at the start of each test because it could blow your headphones. http://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php

Low End Lacks, Mids Good, Quiet+Harsh Highs

I bought these earphones for listening to music and for use as monitors in live setting or tracking in a recording studio. The sound isolation works, and they deliver a very forward and full mid range, which is good for monitoring guitar and many vocalists. The low end is weak, which isn't so bad for monitoring in a live performance, since you would hear a lot of the bass leaking in coming from the bass amp on stage. But for listening, it will disappoint you, because low end bass will need to be boosted with eq a little to reflect how the music is recorded (supposed to sound), but the speaker is pretty bad at producing those frequencies also, and the bass will sound muddy or sloppy, with bad definition. Treble is the worst though, worse than any headphone or earphone I've ever tried at any price. It is both very subdued and very sharp and harsh with no presence. Cymbals sound terrible. My first instinct was to boost the highs with an equalizer, but it just makes it sound worse because of the harshness. Surprisingly, I found myself preferring to instead take out some of the highs, and boost the mids a bit, because the mids are the only range that have a pleasant sound, which is actually nice. Overall, they work, but not that great, as monitors for live performance, but if you are a drummer, brass player, bass player, or singer with higher voice, etc, then it is pretty subpar. Would be good for a guitarist or some singers, if they don't care about hearing the cymbals etc.

    Had a warranty claim on some 315s that had been discontinued, so I paid the difference in price, about $100 more, and got these 425s. I can't tell much of a difference from the 315s. Sound might be a little clearer, but definitely not any louder. Definitely not a $100 improvement

  • Horrible. No bass, one ear blew first day

    Horrible, no bass at all. Ears blew just from me practicing keyboards at home the first time I opened them, guitar center wouldn't let me take them back bc of "sanitary issues" I'm so mad. I bought the warranty but I don't want another pair of these horrible headphones. The 215s are better don't buy these

  • I would buy these again

    My third pair. Definitely worth the extra money from the entry level 112. They last and last if you take care of them.

    Would these be the best choice for a singer? If there are better options, what are they? Also, how are these different from the ones that cost $99?

    I had a pair of Shure 535s for years, but I lost them at one of my gigs after 10 years using them as a drummer. (3 drivers were pretty good). I am looking to go cheaper now to replace my earlier set, and I have my doubts about 425s (lesser price) with likely no bass end (one less driver). Can the 425s do the job? Help sell them to me by giving me the confidence to purchase the 425s with as much quality....I get mixed reviews from friends using the 425s so I am pricing other brands at moment.
