Good: Good quality sound for the money - for a while......

Bad: Dreadfully flawed design with wear and tear built-in!

Comment: I can understand why these get good reviews when you first listen to them, but, BEWARE....I have owned my shure se210 for only 18 months, and they are already broken, and can't be fixed. The problem is the method of wearing them - i.e. looped over the ear. When you do this daily it places continuous strain on the thin and weedy cable, which, surprise, surprise, splits!
And once that's happened, it's game over - £80 down the drain. The REALLY scary thing, is this design flaw is carried on all the way through the range, up to and including the £350 530's.
