Re: Shure SE215 (in ear monitors)
I never tried the Shure SE215's, but I do own and use the Shure SE425 for gigging and absolutely love them. The 215 has a single driver whereas the 425 has a dual driver which gives a wider frequency range. However, you're looking at a $200 difference in price. Regardless, from what I see, the SE215 is rated very well. If the SE425 is out of your price range, then SE215 may be a good fit. Also, Texdrumr has already verified that the 215's are a decent. But, as CC mentioned, the dual drivers will provide a crisper sound. I purchased the SE425 just for this reason. I also looked into molded in-ear monitors, but they started out @ $1,200. A lot more than I wanted or could spend. From my research that I did before making my purchase, I read many comments that the Shure in-ear monitors were the best that you can get for the money before going to the next level which is the professional molded models.
PLEASE NOTE: If you decide to purchase in-ear monitors, you're going to need a headphone amplifier as well!
