SE215m+ Special Edition Sound Isolating™ Earphones
Sound Isolating™
Earphones
Shure Sound Isolating™ Earphones, deliver a detailed
soundstage free from outside noise. The powerful and
stylish Shure SE earphones come with a detachable
cable, adapters, a durable carrying case, and interchangeable Sound Isolating sleeves for a comfortable
and personalized fit.
Detachable Cable
You may need to detach the cable from the earphones
to attach optional components or to replace the cable
if it becomes damaged. To prevent accidental separation, the connector has a snug fit. Take special care to
prevent damage to the earphone and connector.
• Do not use pliers or other tools.
• Grasp the connector and the earphone as close as
possible to where they join.
• Pull straight apart—do not twist. Cable is a snap fit,
not threaded.
Note: If you pull at an angle, the connector will not
detach.
• Do not pull on the cable or put any pressure on the
earphone nozzle.
• Listen for a click when connecting.
• When reattaching the cable, match the "L" and "R"
markings. For clear cables and earphones, match
the color dots (Red=Right, Blue=Left).
Wearing the Earphones
Inserting the Earphones
Insert the earphones so they form a tight seal. The fit of
the earphone can greatly affect sound quality.
Important: If there seems to be a lack of low frequency
response (bass), this means that the earphone sleeve
is not forming a tight seal. Gently push the earphone
deeper into the ear canal or try a different sleeve.
Warning: Do not push the earphone sleeve beyond the
ear canal opening.
Changing Sleeves
• Twist and pull to remove the sleeve from the nozzle.
• Slide on a new sleeve so that it completely covers
the barb and the nozzle.
Caution: If the barb or any of the nozzle is exposed,
the sleeve is not properly installed. Replace sleeves if
they do not tightly grip the nozzle. To ensure proper fit
and performance, use only sleeves supplied by Shure
(unless using custom molded sleeves).
Choosing a Sleeve
Select an earphone sleeve that provides the best fit
and sound isolation. It should be easy to insert, fit comfortably, and easy to remove.
Soft Flex Sleeves: In small,
medium, and large sizes.
Made from pliable rubber.
Soft Foam Sleeves:
Compress the foam sleeve
between your fingers and
insert into the ear canal.
Hold in place for about ten
seconds while the foam
expands.
Triple-Flange Sleeves: If
desired, use scissors to trim
the stem on the sleeve.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Careful maintenance ensures a tight seal between the sleeve and nozzle, improving
sound quality and product safety.

• To clean sleeves, remove them from earphones, gently rinse in warm water and

• Wipe the earphones and sleeves with mild antiseptic to avoid infections. Do not
use alcohol-based disinfectants.
• Do not expose earphones to extreme temperatures.
• Replace sleeves if they do not fit properly.
• Do not attempt to modify this product. Doing so will void the warranty and could

Cleaning the Earphone Nozzle
If you notice a change in sound quality, remove the sleeve and check the nozzle
of your earphone. If nozzle is blocked, clear obstruction by using wire loop end of
cleaning tool.
If no obstruction is found or if sound quality does not improve, replace the sleeve
with a new sleeve.
Wire Loop
Cleaning Tool
Caution: When cleaning, do not force any object through the earphone nozzle! This
will damage the earphone sound filter.
Warning: The cleaning tool is only to be used to clean the earphones. Any other
use, such as using the tool to clean ears or foam sleeve, could result in injury.
The cable connectors to the earphones may collect debris or other deposits that can
affect audio quality. If this happens, disconnect the cables and clean them using a
dry cotton swab.
