Shure 215
Hi, just saw some messages here about sound coming on and off on one side.
I had the same problem for my left. My problem was clearly at the joint between the cable and the driver. So I disconnected it, and did a cleaning. First I used a toothpick to get to the grime. Didn't work that well. Next I took a toothbrush and gave it a good brush. It worked out.
I also had problems with my cable. My 215 is rather old, prob 3 years. Wire was stiff and the connection was bad. Oh, my left driver also cracked one day and I just glued it together with UHU glue. Pretty robust little thing.
Anyway, I was about to buy a new cable (from someone here) but decided instead to get a new set. I had a moment of ingenuity... I contacted the service center and apparently they have a kind of 'loyalty' programme. If you show proof that you are a shure owner, i.e. have a set to trade in, they will sell you one at a heavily discounted price. PM me for the price of SE215 and 315. I decided to get the 315, a step up.
Initially I was really shocked when I placed the 315. The sound was thin, and didn't sound that impressive. The drivers/earpiece were also slim and smaller than my old 215. I tried a new 215 but the 315 was clearly better. So I stuck to the 315. When home, I played around with the ear tips and found that I needed the larger ones to get a good fit. With the right tips, the sound was a lot better, although I still think that the bass was slightly weaker than my old 215.
Anyway, clearly another satisfied customer, I will stick to Shure for a while and with there loyalty programme, they will clearly have me as a return customer when my this pair gives up on me.
I've not been a frequent poster here so I'm not too sure about the rules about revealing details. PM me if you want to know more.
