No, I would repurchase the 215s in a heartbeat. I just wanted to test the waters.
Two caveats about the 215s, though...
The monitor attaches to the cable with a coax-like connector. This is handy if either the monitor or the cable gets broken as you only need to replace one or the other but on occasion I get static if the monitor is jostled at the connector juncture. Rare but annoying.
The cables on the 215s sturdy but very prone to twisting and catching on itself. Also because the monitors hook around your ear those hooks then get tangled up as well and I find they take longer than any other pair I've owned to go from package to ear.
