Well I finally did it. I've upgraded my Shure 210 earbuds and am I glad I did! Firstly, I did get these at a bargain price of £50, probably due to these being no longer manufactured. They have retailed for up to £180 in the past and to be fair, that does sound expensive for earbuds but they do offer great sound.

One thing I liked about the Shure earbuds was the comfort. Denon's earbuds don't quite sit as far down the canal as I would like and I did feel that this allowed more external sounds into the ear resulting in bass loss. The quality of the actual units though is excellent. They have an alloy like feel to them and exhibit a weight you would expect to make them uncomfortable. The pack comes with an extension cable to allow extra length and movement.

I have to confess to changing my earbud pads to the Comply TX-400s. These give a much better fit in the canal resulting in better bass and less external noise. With these in place I found the sound to be excellent and producing much more detail than my previous Shure 210s. If I have a criticism it's that the sound is a little bright and I find myself adjusting the sound during extended plays. I'm hoping I will adapt to the sound the more I use them and I have heard that the sound beds in more once worn in.

Overall, a really decent pair of earbuds that are stylish, durable and offer excellent sound. If you can pick them up at a bargain price as I did then I highly recommend them.
