You have chosen one of my favorites at that price. This particular Shure has a sound signature very different from the actual "Shure Sound" which has a particular degree of clinicalness making them sound cold but detailed and exciting aka SE535. But thats needed when you are doing onstage monitoring, but as consumers we want to enjoy music and not to a lab rat test on tracks,doing that takes away the foot tapping joy out of music. Now this SE215 does exactly that ,it lest you enjoy the music,it has a rich warm sound signature ,ofcourse very rythmic and musical with lots of adequate detail and a good low end!You can hear them over long periods of time without fatigue setting in. The only cons is the treble could have been a bit more airy and the sound could have a little more excitement like the Klipsch Custom3,other wise these nitpicking they are among the very best. Buy them right now!

play seawave crashing sound in low to moderate volume for the first 25 hours and then start playing accoustic in semi high volume levels for the next 25 hours bare minimum. For the next 50 hrs Rock on with anything you like,at human volume levels. Leave them on overnight with seawave crashing. Dont start playing loud as soon as you receive them.Best of Luck.
You love them for the first 100Hrs and they will love you back forver!

Get the fit right in your ear otherwise you will dull the sound.......change earplugs and experiment.

Seems like you are not that much happy with it's sound. What kind of sound signature you were looking for?

Great. Enjoy!
actually i'm blown away by my momentum on-ear... thats why i didn't appreciate these buddies much...
i didn't get much time to listen se215...
i have a question guys...
i got sennheiser momentum on-ear recently...
my source is samsung galaxy s2, which has reputation for its bad audio quality(yamaha chip thingy)... also i got ipod shuffle, 2nd generation(very old one)...
when i first listen to momentum on my galaxy s2 and ipod shuffle.. i didn't satisfied... feel like not worth of its price and it sounded dull...
i saw on the package of momentum that it is made for apple family audio devices - iphone, ipod(shuffle(3rd generation or above), nano, touch, classic)
today i got a chance to listen them on my friend's ipod shuffle(4th generation).. now its got some life...
i decided to upgrade my source.. before i read on the package about apple audio devices, i was leaning towards fiio x3...
need suggestion for which pmp to buy..??

Fiio X3 is little dull/warm/bassy sounding and if its that sound you like you will love them.Since the SE215 is already bassy ,the fiio x3 will just make the sound a little too thick that will kill the air in treble making the complex soundstages sound unweildy through swift musical passages. Try the SE215 with energetic sources like Sony Xperia Z or higer models, Iphone 5, HTC one X etc etc.....and then decide on an amp/pmp.

Dear Chandhu,
Get the clip+ or clip zip. Later you will have plethora of options in the portable AMPs but what you need now is the good source first.
If you have a good budget so Cowon J3
