Review on Shure SE425 CL Isolating Definition MicroDrivers by Bambang ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Some kind of defective product, I definitely won't buy it anymore.

I understood that this was a "reinforcing sound", that there would be no super basses, etc. . but I was not ready for the fact that it would be such a slag. Headphones have no bass at all. At the same time, I also did not hear any "reinforcing" level of detail in the rest of the spectrum. You will simply pay 12k for a sound that seems to come from a cardboard box. And that's it. I tried different ear pads from the kit and compared them with the headphones I have: senhaiser cx 200 (~1600r) and KZ BA10 (fittings, ~4k, which I considered Chinese rubbish). Deshman's cx 200s sounded three times better than these "professional" 12k headphones. The Chinese junk turned out to be somewhat worse than the "Sinheisers", but they also give odds to the "Shurs". What is the general meaning of the fact that they are reinforcing and cost so much - I still don’t understand :/

Pros
  • Ergonomics (they are not uncomfortable)
Cons
  • The sound is terrible. It feels like the sound source is covered with a cardboard box.
