Review on Shure SE425 CL Isolating Definition MicroDrivers by Amar ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

On the whole, a good detailed sound, although the upper frequencies are a bit overwhelmed, like almost any "reinforcement" (there is, in principle, not enough tops in all the plugs, judging by the frequency response in the same headroom). It is corrected by the equalizer, but for certain styles of music it is even imperceptible. Not a bad model for musicians, because you can use them for monitoring at a concert by buying a radio system) Listening to music in them at night at home is a very controversial activity, though sometimes I do, describing the sound is a thankless task (Frank Zappa is right, talking about music is like dancing about architecture), but let's just say, the feeling of being in a studio or concert (source emu0404). But for the home, monitor headphones are more comfortable even at the level of the sennheiser 558, albeit not as detailed. It would be interesting to listen to shure SE 846 or sony xba4, maybe I'll give them to myself for my birthday someday.)

Pros
  • I took it for 4500r (the person who was given them for his birthday did not appreciate it and sold it to me), so the price is quite adequate. Good detailed sound if the player has a normal equalizer. Without it, the drum cymbals will be "littered". The bass may suit you, although sometimes you want a little more, and there are nicer plugs for bass parts, from what the yamaha eph50 listened to, but the detail is clearly worse there. In principle, I still have sennheiser 380pro monitors, I once tried to walk down the street in them, but the sound insulation is very mediocre, the twisted wire is too long, and it’s more convenient to carry plugs with you. They are not very friendly with my cowon j3, who knows the features of the player, they probably saw its frequency response with low-impedance headphones. The frequency response of the headphones themselves can be found on the Internet - in the headroom, for example.
Cons
  • The first wire is not so good, it lasted about the same as the cheaper headphones that had before (about a year). Fortunately, I found where to buy it for 1435r in 2022 (I have a transparent wire, black may differ in price), they sell it in one chain store, I'm afraid they won't miss the name. Which is generally expensive, of course, because for the same money you can buy a single-drive armature like the sony xba1. But in the same place you can buy a wire with a microphone and get a headset for your phone. Moreover, one ear plays quieter, I correct the balance on the player. In general, for such money, there are questions about reliability. (ate recently decided to try to clean the left channel with hydrogen peroxide from the inside, the left ear played very quietly, and there is nothing to lose, it seems to have helped, they play the same way by ear). The next wire lasted almost 2 years. They hold up well in general, but when I run, they fly out from time to time, I have to correct about every kilometer and a half. But I don’t know of headphones, including those specially designed for running, that would not have to be corrected. The ears get tired moderately, you can walk in them all day, but then there will already be pain.
