Introduction Introduction
 
The SE115s are Shure's new entry-level edition in their popular SE series of in-ear headphones. At first glance, there isn't much to separate the SE115s from the rest of Shure's options. They have the same design, their performance results have similar trends, and the headphones come with similar sleeve options. The main things you'll notice are the SE115s don't come with Shure's regular batch of extras.

Like the rest of the Shure SE options, the SE115s have a modular cord and were designed for people who like to loop the headphones' cable around the back of their ears. You can also opt to purchase several different in-line accessories, although other SE series headphones include a few options in the box.

Although they didn't perform as well on our audio tests, the Shure SE115s seem to be a good pair of headphones at the $120 price point.
