Quality sound with budget !
After testing many in-ear phones in this price category I finally found a good counterpart for my money.
The sound quality is great for this price category. I really like a warm kind of flat sound with a decent bass response. The bass response could be better but hey, it's less than a hundred euros so what can you expect from a single driver earphone. No irritating frequencies stick out and no frequencies are lost. Of course when volume is turned way up the sound does distort a bit but does anyone actually listen to music with volume on maxium...
They are a bit uncomfortable in a long run and don't stay in the ear as I would like. I have to fix their position pretty much all the time. The cable is also a bit short for an iPod use but for monitor set-up it's great. It's not too long and it reaches the belt pack just fine.
The cable itself isn't very durable. I have my third cable at the moment in two years. It usually breaks from the ends. The iron wire stuck out from both wires close to ear so I had to put some heat shrink to cover them up and it worked fine but it's still a minor problem.
If you want good quality sound for low budget you should definetly look into these phones, but if you want also durability Shure isn't your choice.

Pretty good
Noise isolation is just ok, you (probably) won't go deaf when rehearsing or playing shows with these but you're by no means completely isolated from room noise. They sound good, I like to use them for general listening purposes in high-noise situations as well. The capsule's fit over your ear is ok and the cord can be tightened to better fix them in place. No 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter is included for those plugging into interfaces and mixers etc, you'll have to buy one separately.

Good quality headphones, great sound
I bought these headphones use as IEMs as an upgrade from a pair of 'noise cancelling' headphones that came with a phone. To say they were an upgrade from the phone headphones would be an understatement but that is to be expected. My main concern would be bass response as getting a good bass sound through IEM's is tricky but these sound great. The sound is full and fat, it doesn't sound farty or woofy. I'm very impressed with these. I was equally impressed with the highs - when my voice was coming through it didn't sound shrill or harsh, very present reproduction. The noise cancelling has been more than adequate to block out the sound of loud guitarist with valve amps blaring on stage.
The case provided is adequate - Westone's come with a nicer small hardcase but at almost twice the price and to my ears the exact same sound (maybe a bit lighter on the bass with the Westone) it isn't worth the extra expense. Go Shure and keep the softcase somewhere safe and you will have no problems.

Good price vs. quality relation
I don't have any comparison with other professional in-ear headphones but after using them for a hole summer of shows i'm very pleased with them. They don't fall from my ear witch was one of the features that I was more worried about. The sound is quite good and they have a very decent head room. For the price I think it's quite a good choice.

Great Sound at an affordable price
I bought these to use as IEMs on function gigs. I normally play 2x1hour sets so needed something comfortable with a decent sound that doesn't break the bank.
It took a bit of experimenting and manipulation of the over the ear cable to get these to fit comfortably. After a couple of tries and home use I've found these to be reasonably comfortable and great sounding. I'm a bass player and while I could get a better sound from a more expensive set of IEMs, these do the job perfectly well.
Noise cancelling is great, Fit is fine and the sound is better than I expected at this price.
I'd highly recommend these if you're gigging musician on a budget.

So far so good
I can't wear this earphones for more than 2/3 hours in a row (which is anyway an extensive time) and the environmental noise cancellation isn't total. Besides this, I find them very good and I like the quality of the sound, balanced and clear.

Amazing for the price
Even if they are the cheapest Shure IEMs, they are still really really good.
The in-ear fit may not be for everyone, though. Very tiny ears might find them uncomfortable.
When using the memory foam tips, the isolation is the best I've ever experienced.
They sound clear and detailed.
They don't have extra bass like a lot of other IEMs.
The highs are a bit harsh out-of-the-box, but after some burn in they mellow down enough.
