Introduction
The Shure SE210 headphones are an interesting set of in-ear headphones. The buds have an angled nozzle, which is a different design. Those who wear the cord around the backs of their ears will like this form factor, while those who wear the cord down will find the ear buds protrude straight out of their ears. There is also a 3.5mm plug at the bottom of the neck split. The plug allows the easy addition of a headset control or other accessory.
We think the SE210s are comfortable, and the included sleeves should help a wide range of people find something that’s easy on the ear canal. For a long wear session, you will notice a reduction in overall comfort, but nothing out of the ordinary for in-ear headphones.
In terms of sound quality, the SE210s perform well for in-ear headphones. They tend to underemphasize higher frequencies, and there are some issues with distortion, but these issues are fairly commonplace with such small sound elements. The SE210 headphones are priced at $179.99.

In Use

The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
