Shure SE420 sound-isolating earphones

Score: 7.3

We Like: General sound quality; great sound-isolation; comfortable

We Don't Like: Price; lack of deep bass; lack of precise highs; takes a bit of getting used to stuffing them in the ears

Accessories: A music player; ears

Judgement: High-performing sound-isolating earphones, but for half as much again you'll get twice the performance. Competing earphones offer better low and high performance for less money. Some wil argue that the method of wearing Shure earphones is too pro for the casual listener, however as an upgrade to a cheaper Shure model, you'll be very pleased
