A little pricy for mobile use but can imagine fantastic, i would never get these past the misses - physically yes, credit card statement no.

Anyway i picked up a pair of the SE425's yesterday, Shures do seem well liked here. In hospital with my daughter at the moment so missing the main system and really needed to beef up the bundled buds i had with me.

Very impressed so far in partnership with the Explorer2, listened to the Division Bell on MQA last night and have to say got that goose bump feeling (not that i want to start another debate on that topic btw - but it is what it is and more so given the location). Transparency and range very impressive.

The fitting of the Shures takes some getting used to however, a little awkward and getting the pads off is really difficult. But first impressions are positive.

thanks again for the suggestions.
