Noted on Plexand Tidal. Snooping on Plex's site now - seeing dublinben consider it, too, is worth a double take.

Never ever got my hands on comfortable earbuds. These pups have served me well from my pop's DJ days. Tinnitis got them in my hands, but hot damn if I could find a well-fitted earbud with good quality for running. Brothers are pushing AirPods like they get a commission. Those SE215's don't quite have the price tag of an airpod, now...

I sweat through everything with a mic. It's ugly. I run in Koss FitClips.

7506s are the only headphone used in audio post or audio mixing. Literally. Anyone who uses anything else is a poseur. I have 7509s, which have better low end response, but I don't use them on gigs because you hear stuff that won't matter in the final mix anyway.

My colleagues all wear Airpods all day long for endless Zoom meetings, and never stop complaining about them. I've never had an issue with my SE215s. Truly the most satisfying money I've ever spent.

Man, you and kb on the same wavelength here. Happy Early Hanukkah to myself, yaboi is gunning for SE215s.

With cheap earbuds, I found myself turning my phone volume almost all the way up when listening to podcasts on the train to work. With the SE215s I was comfortable on the lowest volume level. They’re such an investment in protecting my hearing that I’ll actually just wear them with nothing playing just for the peaceful quiet it brings.

Exactly! I went for the 425s, and just love how isolating the earplug-rubbers are.

Only downside is that there’s only one freaking expensive usb-C adapter / DAC (from Shure themselves) which isn’t very good an also broke after a few months. Got a new one and it hasn’t lasted two months. Complete garbage.
