Sound Isolating Earphone Resource SE215 Description

Shure Sound Isolating Earphone Resource SE215 are designed with a unique sound-isolating technology that blocks up to 37 dB of ambient noise, allowing you to focus on your music and immerse yourself in pure sound. They come with a variety of ear tips in different sizes to provide a comfortable and secure fit for every user.

Shure Sound Isolating Earphones are available in different models, each with its unique features, such as in-line microphones, remote controls, and premium materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber.

Using Earphones

Choosing a Sleeve

Select an earphone sleeve that provides the best fit and sound isolation. It should be easy to insert, fit comfortably, and easy to remove.

Soft Flex Sleeves: In small, medium, and large sizes. Made from pliable rubber.
Soft Foam Sleeves: Compress the foam sleeve between your fingers and insert into the ear canal. Hold in place for about ten seconds while the foam expands.
Triple-Flange Sleeves: If desired, use scissors to trim the stem on the sleeve.

Inserting the Earphones

Carefully insert the earphone into the ear like an earplug, so that a tight seal is formed.
Important: If there is a lack of low frequency response (bass), the earphone sleeve may not be forming a proper seal. Gently push the earphone deeper into the ear canal or try using a a different sleeve.
Warning: Do not push the earphone sleeve beyond the ear canal opening.

The fit of the earphone can greatly affect sound quality.

Wearing the Earphones

The following are some suggested ways of wearing the earphones.

Wear the cable over the ear and secure it behind the head to help keep the earphones in place during physical activity. Tighten the cable and take up slack by raising the cable cinch.

Changing Sleeves

Twist and pull to remove the sleeve from the nozzle.
Slide on a new sleeve so that it completely covers the barb and the nozzle.

Caution: If the barb or any of the nozzle is exposed, the sleeve is not properly installed. Replace sleeves if they do not tightly grip the nozzle. To ensure proper fit and performance, use only sleeves supplied by Shure (unless using custom molded sleeves).

Removing the Earphones

Grasp the body of earphone and gently twist to remove.

Note: Do not pull on cable to remove earphone.
