Shure has created a superb set of earphones in the shape of the SE420s. I maintain that the E500PTHs are still the best earphones that money can buy, but the SE420s are a far more affordable option. As I said earlier, if you’ve been lusting after the E500PTHs, but could never afford them, take a close look at the SE420s – they offer much of the performance of their big brother at a fraction of the price.

Dear Riyad, thank you for your detailed review. Very interesting!

But the question which has been most on my mind, and which I would still like to ask is, are the SE420s worth their price tag, in their own right?

I'm in the market for some new earphones, preferably some that I can combine with an iPhone headset adapter. Given that this review is now over 2.5 years old, are these 420s still the best out there? Do Shure have a new product line up out soon and worth waiting for or is that some time away?

@Pipps - You can now get the 420s for £150 or less so I'd probably say that they are well worth their price tag.
