Man, you and kb on the same wavelength here. Happy Early Hanukkah to myself, yaboi is gunning for SE215s.

With cheap earbuds, I found myself turning my phone volume almost all the way up when listening to podcasts on the train to work. With the SE215s I was comfortable on the lowest volume level. They’re such an investment in protecting my hearing that I’ll actually just wear them with nothing playing just for the peaceful quiet it brings.

Exactly! I went for the 425s, and just love how isolating the earplug-rubbers are.

Only downside is that there’s only one freaking expensive usb-C adapter / DAC (from Shure themselves) which isn’t very good an also broke after a few months. Got a new one and it hasn’t lasted two months. Complete garbage.
