I had a pair...there was NO BASS whatsoever. For 100 bucks surely you can do better...does anyone know of any deals comparable (or even more expensive)?

Shures are not known to be bass-shy as far as I know...
The choice of tips and their seals while wearing IEM's largely determine the amount of bass you can hear... have you tried different tips or maybe adjust the angle or depth a little?

Yes, thats a good point but I've heard it before and I don't think this is the case. I've tried ramming the things into my ears, putting into different earbuds. The bass is still weak, I think because it's just not there.
I've had 4 sets of earphones, cheap to expensive none of which required special attention.
I think the 210 are just the tweeter HALF of the dual driver drivers earbuds shure makes...

It also depends on the device you're using for music playback. I know when I run my Shure's through my speakers attached to my computer I get far better sound than if I plug into my Ipod. Shure made me realize how weak the IPod's audio output actually is.

I got the Shure Noise Isolating Earphones for $129.99 at Best Buy a couple weeks back, because I couldn't find my iPhone headsets.
Yes, they are comfortable, and yes, they do make you only hear your music and nothing else. But I can't honestly justify spending almost $150 on a pair of earphones. I took them back as soon as I found my iphone headsets. I really feel bad for the person who buys the ones I took back...I worked out with them for about an hour and they got really sweaty. :-0

Really great price, I was considering SE110 but since SE210 wasn't much more, I decided to spend a bit extra. I ordered a pair online but it does not give me the option to pick it up in store. Where do I find the option for pick up instead of delivery. o its also out of stock, I wonder how long it will take help :( I rather save the shipping cost

Yeah in order to get the best sound out of the Shures (or any other IEM's) is to fit them into the ear snuggly such that it has a good seal. That's why they came with different cushion sizes and styles, and you really need to experiment quite a bit.
I own a pair of E4C's and after trying for a while I was able to find my "sweet spot" in regards to the earphones. I find wrapping the cord behind and over the ears helps tremdously.
I have read that Shures in general has weaker but very solid bass. Nothing like the booming bass that muddle the sound so much that prevents you from hearing the high end cleary (though I know that some people prefer that instead).

FS and other electronic stores are supposed to return any earphones that go inside your ear back to manufacturer due to health and safety. That's why you don't see them sell earphones OB but headphones (the over ear types) you will see open box. Of course, not everyone follows rules as we are all familiar with here on RFD. :lol:
Picked them up last night on sale, great price! I've been rocking the Creative EP-630 for a while so I'm hoping these will be an improvement. I also picked up the noise cancelling Audio Technica's they had on sale - AWESOME headphones, super comfortable and great sound. I don't like overwhelming bass so they were perfect for me. All that booming just gives me a headache :P /old

I too am using the Creative EP-630's and would be interested to hear how much better these Shures are. Please let us know!

agreed. i owned these and i returned them.
however, like people have said, shure headphone's aren't known for their base.
if you're looking for base. get the ultimate ears .fi 5 extended bass.
they kill it.

You're supposed to do that, then cinch the plastic bit on the cords up behind your head. This prevents cord vibration from being transmitted into your ears.
I use my Shure E4s with foamies. Great fit, great noise isolation, great sound. The bass isn't heavy, but that's a good thing. <snark>Shures are for people who like to listen to music, not just bass.</snark> :razz:
But eh, the SE210s could be garbage for all I know; I've never tried them. I know E2cs were good for the money, but they were $100 regular price.

Shure changed their lineup so the SE210 is really the next version after the E3c. Likewise SE110 follows E2c and SE310 follows E4c. So the quality of the SE210s should be pretty decent.

Picked up my Shure 210s at the store (ISPU) for $97. After they had sent a confirmation that it was available in store, I cancelled my shipping order for the same product.
