Partly excellent, spoiled by flaws
I'll describe the positive points first. These IEMs have exceptionally good build quality, with a thick cable that feels very sturdy and well made housings. The noise cancelling is likewise outstanding, particularly with the foam tips. The selection of accessories is excellent, with a range of tips and a sturdy soft-shell case.
Unfortunately, the product is compromised by two major flaws.
Firstly, the sound simply isn't what I'd consider acceptable for monitoring purposes. The bass is significantly boosted, bringing with it a resonant muddiness throughout the bass and lower mids. There is a real lack of clarity in the lower octaves, with sharp transients blurring into a boomy mess. Treble response rolls off significantly, giving a warm but slightly boxy character with a lack of air and presence.
Secondly, I just couldn't get a comfortable fit, for several reasons. The large housings were too big for my ears, with a sharp edge pressing into my outer ear. The angle of the nozzle compounded this issue. The memory metal sections of the cable do an excellent job of isolating cable noise, but interfered uncomfortably with the arms of my eyeglasses.
I don't wish to be too negative, as these IEMs may be a perfectly good choice for other users. The hyped sounic character may suit the preferences of some listeners who are less concerned with accuracy and detail. IEM fit is a personal matter, and what is painful for me may be perfectly comfortable for someone with larger or differently shaped ears.

Quality sound with budget !
After testing many in-ear phones in this price category I finally found a good counterpart for my money.
The sound quality is great for this price category. I really like a warm kind of flat sound with a decent bass response. The bass response could be better but hey, it's less than a hundred euros so what can you expect from a single driver earphone. No irritating frequencies stick out and no frequencies are lost. Of course when volume is turned way up the sound does distort a bit but does anyone actually listen to music with volume on maxium...
They are a bit uncomfortable in a long run and don't stay in the ear as I would like. I have to fix their position pretty much all the time. The cable is also a bit short for an iPod use but for monitor set-up it's great. It's not too long and it reaches the belt pack just fine.
The cable itself isn't very durable. I have my third cable at the moment in two years. It usually breaks from the ends. The iron wire stuck out from both wires close to ear so I had to put some heat shrink to cover them up and it worked fine but it's still a minor problem.
If you want good quality sound for low budget you should definetly look into these phones, but if you want also durability Shure isn't your choice.

Shure SE215-k
I bought these earphones as I am a big music lover and I wanted high quality earphones.
I didn't want to buy ones like beats as I know they are only expensive because of the brand.
I listen to everything From Metal to Dubstep to acoustic to pop! I find the Shure SE215-k great, the quality is superb for the price of them. I know that Shure have some more expensive models but for me these are perfect.
I also play guitar and I hope to some day use these earphones as inner ear monitors and they are great at blocking out sound and they are quite comfortable too.
I highly recommend the Shure SE215-K's for any music lover as they are great quality earphones!

Pretty good
Noise isolation is just ok, you (probably) won't go deaf when rehearsing or playing shows with these but you're by no means completely isolated from room noise. They sound good, I like to use them for general listening purposes in high-noise situations as well. The capsule's fit over your ear is ok and the cord can be tightened to better fix them in place. No 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter is included for those plugging into interfaces and mixers etc, you'll have to buy one separately.

Comfortable for long periods
I use these as a vocal monitor. They are perfect in that respect. They don’t produce much the way of low end but that is fine for my uses.
As far as isolation goes, it is achieved quite well with the exception of lows that are conducted through your body I suppose.
Think of it like attenuating all of the upper mid and top end and then re-introducing the volume you want.

Fantastic price/quality ratio
This things have been going strong for several years now. Isolation is not active, but the foam tops are very good at that. Sound is just fantastic. They are pretty comfy to wear but the cable can sometimes push the over-the-ear hook which can be a bit annoying at times.
Overall, I'd buy them again if I wanted cabled in-ears. Bought their BT version recently and it's just the same but without the cable.

As expected - quality without compromise
I do not have tons of experience and fancy equipment, BUT I can say that with these earbuds I can hear things that i couldn't before with my other head/earphones. I made a comparison test of songs in 320-mp3 vs flac vs dts and recognized all of them. And that is even wothout DAC. So basicly I'm more than happy with the sound. They are little bit bassy and I like that. Noice-canceling is absolutely great with foam and surprisingly good with the others. Comfort is pretty good, there is no way for them to fall off the cable is long enough. Unfortunately my ear canals are tight like young maid and it's hard for me to wear them more than one hour even with the S size. I hope that it will get better in time or I'll try with the Shure EATFL1-6 earpads. Also the sound tunnel where you put earpads is plastic and I'm not sure how strong is that, looks pretty strong tho. But everything else is great and I'm absolutely satisfied with my purchase. You can be Shure ;)

Internal Wire Broken
After barely using it, the wire is broken already and I need to refund.
They are very impractical to put on the first time, although they become better as you get used to them.
They isolate pretty well from outside, but the sound itself is not great, maybe due to the actual In-Ear System I have, not sure.

Great bang for the buck earmonitors
Bought these for live use to reduce stage volume and they are amazing. Fits perfect for my ears, sound better than many expensive earbuds when listening to music, super durable and seethrough plastic makes them invisible. They cancel noise greatly, im even having hard time listening my bandmates on stage :D shape of these are quite universal and different sizes of rubberbuds make them perfect for everyone. Nice vase makes them impossible to loose. Highly recommended!
