I have read on forums that these earphones have an issue of cutting out audio when you move the cables too much. Is that fixed?

I have had the se215k earphones for about four months and have never really had that problem.

We have been using these ear buds(SE215 and SE215LTD) for a few years now. All four sets are still functioning and the only experience of signal cutting were when the drummer(6'2") would be playing and having his cord extended to max length - he would get some cutouts. Also, when we accidentally had two of the transmitters on the same channel - that wipes out the sound and chops it up badly with the frequencies compete - very degenerative at that. Other than that, treat these right and they're bullet proof.

No issue on this LE. I had deliberately rotated the connector to check its continuity. So far no issue at all.

Out of 4 pairs we purchased, we've sent 3 back. And service from Shure is ultra slow. Attentive, but slow. One of the worst retail experiences i've ever experienced.

They sound really good and most of the time the connection is flawless, but it is not infallible. For example, when using them at home, if I turn run my microwave to heat something up, it causes significant cut outs while running. This is similar to how microwaves used to interfere with older cordless phones (prior to them 5.0+ GHz phones now common). That's the worst of it. Also, if you try to stray too far away from your bluetooth source, it will start to have cut outs periodically.

It's been an issue all alone. These tight passive isolation circumaural earphones naturally tend to sound muffled because well...they muffle the sound--that's how they're designed to block out outside sound (the active noise cancellation also helps of course). These purposely leak some sound to allow the drivers to vibrate more freely instead of getting all this resonance and intereference from the trapped sound reflecting and interacting with the whole earpad. Having said that, QC2s are slightly better; but last time I checked, they're also slightly $120 more expensive. Now that slight amount of extra dough, I'm afraid that's slightly too expensive for the most of us. It's been an issue all alone.

No actually thats how I would wear them before and never noticed a problem with sound.but to answer your question, no issues on how you wear them. Foam buds worked better for my ears. I ended sending them to inearcentral and turned them into personal inear monitors. I recommend you try it. worth the $150 the 3 drivers on this set are great for monitors.

Have not had that situation come up. I guess I would give them over the ear headphones and adjust the volume correctly.

There is minor sound leakage to the outside world, however no one seems to have complained when I wear them at work, or in the airports. In an office/cubicle environment I would think they would work out well, especially if you dont blast your music trying to blow out your own ears. From checking them out earlier (admittedly putting them over a rolled up blanket with volume set at about 65%) I could barely hear any leakage from more than a couple feet away.If you do end up getting these and using them at work I would suggest you get a cable extension (at least a couple feet) so you would have more freedom to move about in your workspace There is minor sound leakage to the outside world, however no one seems to have complained when I wear them at work, or in the airports.

I use them for djiing in short periods of time (40min-2hrs) and i haven´t had that kind of problem. On the contrary, after a while, basses get tighter, its my impression. The only issue i find is that the back of the speakers get hot after a while on high volume. But no compromising of sound quality at all. (Sorry for my english)

I would give Bose a call. I did not experience anything like that. In fact, my cord gets snagged and fly out of the actual headphone all the time and I still don't have a problem like that.

I have to disagree entirely with this post. I just got these headphones for Xmas, and while sound quality is great with cancellation on and does stop outside noises well, the sound leakage is quite apparent. I wanted them as something to use at the office but I'm not sure I can now. While I don't know how much of an issue it would be on the plane, I'm pretty sure I would be able to hear whatever is playing for someone using them quite easily. I'm torn about returning them now. They sound great and the price is awesome, but the leakage is definitely an issue to think about. If you cannot deal with leakage I would not get these. I have to disagree entirely with this post.

I think the sound quality is super and when wearing them I cannot hear any outside sounds. The buttons for increase sound does not work with my device. I would actually prefer that this was not on them. Hope this helps

No that should not happen. Try making sure the plugs are inserted all the way in. They are often pretty darn tight so remove the cable and push it back in in with plenty of force. Inspect the contacts closely and whether or not it is inserted into the correct side. If none of this works I suggest either trying another cable or more optimally contacting Sennheiser. Hope you get them working how they should.

Absolutely. I had the same issue with previous ear pieces, they're loud and clear even with My soundbar on moderately. My friend's also said I come in Crystal clear.

I had them for few months, then something went loose in the right earpiece. Now I have crackling noises all the time.Oh, and I lost the music cable. I had to prepay for a new one (approximately 60 USD), then it took the full six months until I got a new one. And what is a headphone without music!?

Hi, Veronica. First you should probably check to see if they headphone jack is inserted completely. However, from what you just described, it could be possible that they are either broke or it is a manufacturing issue, because the pair I had also had the same issue after a few months.

Never had that happen with these particular earphones - others yes, but not these. I have one pair that is about 3 years old - still working fine.

I have had issues with the cord I have had to return to shure once. now I have to send back again because it wasn't fixed. Cutting out when I move cord or head.

Thats it. It's a problem with this headphone because otherwise they sound great. Check out the Sony MDR-1RBT, it's way better overall.
