Opinion about sound insulating earphones seems to be incredibly polarised - the Shure SE310s being no exception. However I will say here and now that my personal experience is that these phones are truly amazing and well exceeded my expectations. A natural sound across the range with crisp treble and a solid, natural bass put them in the same league as my home-use Sennheiser HD600s that cost over twice the price of the Shures.
Before buying, though, what needs to be understood is that this type of earphone is a completely different concept to what you may be used to, and that a correct fit in the ear canal is VITAL to getting the best out of them. You should find the right size and shape of adapter amongst the variety that come with the SE310s, but the tinny quality I got with some (that actually felt comfortable) explained to me perfectly why some reviewers think these phones a waste of money (either that or they've been sold a counterfeit). If you do happen to have 'non-standard ears' then Shure actually recommend consulting an audiologist who apparently will make make made-to-measure adapters for you. Do it - you'll notice the difference.
The other advice I'd give is to play around with your player's EQ control to find a setting that compliments the SE310s; the 'flat' response may not always give you the best quality. Adjust to your personal taste in the knowledge that the SE310s can handle as much bass as you can.
Finally, you can use the SE310s on public transport with utter confidence - not only will the insulation block out sound leakage from other, less considerate MP3 player users, but you can rest safe in the knowledge that your own pleasure will not infringe on anyone else; to others around you they are completely silent!

Felt compelled to write a review of these earphones even though I bought them from another web site. Before buying the SE310s I researched as many websites as I could find about them, comparing them against similar earphones from other manufacturers in this price/quality range. I primarily use a Creative ZEN Vision:M with a pair of 30 Sony earbuds that are now suffering from years of use (the mid-range has completely gone). The difference in reproduction quality with the new SE310s is astounding.
Why did I chose to buy these over other earphones.
1. The sound from these earphones is, as near as I can tell, exactly the same as the original CD recording. I've had to re-record my MP3 collection using the highest bit rates (320kbps) possible to get the best from the music and SE310s. I've found that with these earphones it is easy to tell the difference in bit rates (and I'm no audiophile).
2. Many reviews I've seen have mentioned the lack of bass. All I can say is if you want earphones that offer loads of bass, then buy earphones that will. The SE310s try and replicate the recording (in my case CD or MP3) as faithfully and accurately as possible without adding any bass, effects or colouration. I am a big listener of classical music and I'm having to listen to my collection all over again because it now sounds like I'm sat in amongst the orchestra instead of being in the audience. Each rustle of sheet music, each creak of a chair, if it's picked up by the microphones during the recording it will be heard with these earphones. I'm finding there are other sections of the orchestra playing that I've never heard before which have been hidden with other earphones.
I also feel I have to mention that I chose the SE310s over the SE110s and SE210s because they offer more across the audio range (see Shure website tech specs).
To summarise, if you want the best accuracy and quality without any added bass, or colouration, I could not ask for better at this price range.
An excellent experience for someone who really appreciates music March 6, 2008

Probably the best suited mp3 player Shure headphones.
-Avoid poor quality sound mp3 players such Ipods. They don't allow you to adjust individual audio bands.
-Ensure the best fit through experimentation for perfect and TRUE audio reproduction. Not bass zealous and unrepresentative of the true source like fontopias.
Probably not best to add to many audio effects and controls as the distortion they can create becomes more noticeable as they sound strays further away from the original recording.
An excellent pair of headphones and for the price, all those who achieve a proper fit will not be disappointed. Just remember to wear them in slowly when they're new.

I've got these earbuds two weeks ago and enjoying it now very much.
First I have difficulties with strong highs in some songs, however, when I set my ipod to sound check on the problem is solved with unwanted level of frequencies.
I mostly listen house music with 320k bit rate. I tried several options to set the eq and I found the flat setting suited me the best.
The base may not be as punchy for those who wants color, but lows are there without any doubdt.
I'm looking for an upgrade to se530 maybe in a year, and I believe it will be awesome.
 If you like punchy lows and crystal clear highs they are the headphones for you January 10, 2008

I would defiantly recommend these SE320's as they have everything you want from high class headphones but as the other review says they are not so good with the Ipod. These headphones can only be as good as the device you plug them into as they benefit from a high quality EQ which the Ipod lacks. When EQ'd they have a very punchy lows with crystal clear highs.
