Shure SE425-CL-EFS Sound Isolating Earphones
- The sound quality is brilliant, richer and deeper compared to the other, the noise isolating is as good.
- Excellent quality of sound and good noise isolation allows for a very enjoyable experience.
- Sound quality is unlike anything I've previously heard with superb highs and mids however may be slightly lacking in bass depending on your personal preferences.
