Reviews of the Shure SE420 Sound Isolating Earphones (white)

  • 8.5

    CNET Review

    September 5, 2007

    The Good: The Shure SE420 earphones offer high-quality sound from a dual-driver design. They come with a nice compliment of accessories, and the eartips block out a lot of ambient noise.

    The Bad: The Shure SE420s are expensive, and are a tad large for earbuds. For such pricey 'buds, the SE420s are also a bit bass-shy. Some people might not like the feel of the earplug-like fit.

    The Bottom Line: You can't go wrong with Shure's SE420 earphones, despite their high price tag--unless you have the money to buy the SE530s, their more expensive cousins.

    Review Summary: The headphones also have a very short cord, which is the perfect length for connecting to an arm-band media player. For those who don't wear arm bands, there's an extension cord included that lets the headphones reach down to your front pocket. The ...

    Review Summary: The Shure SE420s are a solid pair of headphones. Their frequency response graph wasn't bad, their distortion was fairly low (to the point of not being noticeable unless you were looking for it), and they can isolate better than any other headphones we ...
