Shure SE425CL

The Shure SE425 steps up to a dual-driver design, with dedicated high- and low-frequency balanced armature MicroDrivers in each earpiece. Separating the work between two drivers gives the SE425 accurate, detailed sound with clear highs and controlled bass, making it a favorite with vocalists and musicians who need to hear every nuance of their in-ear mix.

• Accurate, detailed sound with clear highs and balanced low end
• Sound-isolating design blocks up to 37 dB of ambient noise
• Detachable, reinforced cable with flexible wireform fit

Shure SE425: Dual-Driver Detail for Performers

A single-driver earphone has to reproduce the whole frequency range on its own. The SE425 splits that job: one balanced armature driver handles the highs, the other handles the lows. The result is more detail and less blur when the mix gets busy, so vocalists can hear pitch clearly and instrumentalists can pick out their part against a full band.

Compared to the bass-forward SE215, the SE425 has a more neutral, accurate tuning. Many singers, keyboard players, and guitarists prefer it because it presents the mix the way it actually sounds, without an exaggerated low end.

SE425 Isolation, Fit, and Cable

Shure’s sound-isolating sleeves seal the ear canal and block up to 37 dB of outside noise, which lets you monitor at lower volumes and protect your hearing over long rehearsals and performances. The earphones are worn over the ear with a flexible wireform, which keeps them secure and reduces cable noise as you move.

The cable is detachable and reinforced, so a damaged cable can be replaced on its own. Try the included sleeves in each size to find the best seal; a good fit is what unlocks the SE425’s full bass response and isolation.

Choosing Between the SE215, SE425, and SE846

Shure’s SE line scales with your needs. The SE215 is the affordable, durable starting point with a warm sound. The SE425 adds a second driver for more accuracy and detail. The SE846 uses four drivers and adjustable sound signatures for the most demanding listeners. Our team can help you pick the right model for your role on stage and your budget.

Using the SE425 With Wireless In-Ear Systems

The SE425 is a natural match for wireless personal monitor systems such as Shure’s PSM series. Plug it into the bodypack, dial in a comfortable level, and you get the same mix anywhere on stage. Because the dual drivers present the mix with more separation than a single-driver earphone, many performers find they can run a lower overall volume and still hear themselves clearly, which is easier on the ears over a long set. A personal monitor mixer lets each performer adjust their own blend without bothering the monitor engineer.
