- How does the SE425 differ from the SE215?
- The SE425 uses dual balanced armature drivers for a more neutral, detailed sound, while the SE215 uses a single dynamic driver with more bass. The SE425 also has a detachable cable, as does the newer SE215 version.
- Does it have Bluetooth?
- No. The SE425 is wired only, though the MMCX connectors let you attach a separately sold Bluetooth cable.
- Is the cable replaceable?
- Yes. The MMCX connectors let you swap in a new cable if the original wears out or you want a different length.
- How well does it block noise?
- Very well for a passive design. With a good seal from the foam or silicone tips, it cuts a large amount of engine and crowd noise.
- What comes in the box?
- The earphones, a detachable cable, multiple foam and silicone tip sizes, a cleaning tool and a hard carrying case.
- Is it good for bass-heavy music?
- Not ideal. The tuning is neutral and bass-light, so genres that rely on deep low end may sound thin.
- Where is the Shure SE425 cheapest?
- At Summit Integrated Systems, for $253.76, as of our latest check.
