Product Description

Product Description

Key Features: Originally developed for professional musicians the E2c combines Dynamic MicroDriver speaker technology with a sound isolating design to deliver rich full-range sound while blocking outside noise -- ideal for enhancing your listening experience with portable MP3 DVD and CD players as well as all other audio sources. Sound Isolating Technology The E2c\'s in ear design works like an earplug to block background noise naturally. This enables you to listen comfortably at lower volumes -- even in loud environments. And unlike bulky headphones utilizing active noise cancellation technology no artifacts are introduced into your listening experience. Sound isolating earphones are also much smaller and don\'t require batteries. Speaker Type: Dynamic MicroDrivers The E2c\'s speakers are constructed with studio-grade components producing outstanding audio clarity that allows you to hear your music like never before. Personal Fit Kit Because every ear is different E2c Earphones come with three pairs (small medium large) of disposable Foam Sleeves and three pairs (small medium large) of Flex Sleeves to ensure the ideal personalized fit. Secure In Ear Design The soft flexible sleeves in the Fit Kit gently contour the inside of the ear for a comfortable secure fit so that the earphones don\'t fall out while you\'re exercising. Low-Profile Earphone Cables The E2c\'s cables pass behind the ear - out of sight and out of the way -- to provide a more comfortable discreet fit. Lightweight Construction Weighing only 1 oz (30g) the E2c is lightweight and comfortable enough for any portable listening application -- packing a big punch in such a compact package. Earphones Carrying Case The E2c comes with a stylish compact carrying case. The cable spool inside provides a convenient tangle-free way to store your earphones. E2c Technical Specifications: Speaker Type: - - Dynamic MicroDriver Sensitivity (at 1kHz): - - 105d

4.0 out of 5 stars Despite flaws, well worth the money, 14 April 2007
By 
Mr. E. J. Ross "Wowser" (Northern England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shure E2C In-Ear Headphones (Electronics)
I have had these for 2 years now and have come up with the following points regarding the headphones (which I use with an iPod Mini):

The set of fitting buds that comes with the headphones does, in my experience, allow you to find a perfect fit. Sure, that fit takes some getting used to, but afte a few weeks you get into the knack of fitting them in rather easily.

The cable that comes with them is too long. While this is good for using them as you're watching DVDs at home or something, I find I have to wrap some of the cable around the iPod.

The sound is hard to fault, and I do geekily try them with certain albums just to experience how good that sound can be. this, of course relies on you being able to fit them into your ears deeply enough, the sensation of which is like putting your fingers firmly into your ears.

The bass is fine (again, so long as you make sure they are securely fitted). It's not overpowering, but is natural, and beefy when required.

Again, providing they fit well, they block a hell of a lot of outside noise out. Not so much to entirely mute the world, but more than enough to block irritating mobile phones and such. On The Tube, they are a Godsend.

Taking them out can be a bit embarassing - Eurgh! Wax! Give your ears a good clean before putting them in. They also get a bit sweaty in the summer.

The sticky 'wax guards' are a bit of a pain - eventually they get very sticky and grimy, so need to be replaced. I find I replace them every 3 months or so. Once you run out of these, beware - Shure charge a needlessly overpriced fee for a new set: 1/5 the cost of an entirely new pair of headphones!

Also...

After 16 months, the flex where the cable curls around each ear perished. Despite having lost my warranty card etc, I sent them away to Shure with my Amazon email-receipt and hoped for the best. 2 days later, Shure provided me with an entirely new set of headphones, freshly boxed. That is, the 2 year warranty is outstanding! The new pair they sent did, in my opinion, use a more flexible material for the cabling - could Shure have learnt their mistakes and changed this previous flaw? Maybe, and if not at least there's always the warrany to fall back on.

PS: they don't look as cool as the Apple headphones, but at least you can feel smug about the vastly superior sound quality :)

5.0 out of 5 stars work with it!, 21 Dec 2004
By 
I recently found myself needing a new pair of portable headphones, having run over my aiwa in-ear ones with my car (don't ask). So I've received my new Shure headphones in the post today, and first impressions are they are well built. The ear pieces and plug are solid, the cable is thick, and the insulation is hard wearing. These should last ages.

To be honest, out of the box, i wasn't too sure what to make of them. They look a bit daunting, and they won't just fit in your ears straight away. I would recommend you make use of the fit kit (I opted for the small flex sleeves, but there are also foam ones). Once you've sorted that out, follow the instructions & practise putting them on repeatedly; sounds silly, but the quicker you get comfortable with them, the better. The 'sound isolation' does work really well. Once you've got the fit right, you can't hear much at all, and with the music on, you can't hear anything but the music.

Anyway, enough of that. What do they sound like? In a word, marvellous! I never have expectations of portable headphones, but i do use a pair of (over-ear) Grado SR-60s at home, which are cracking. What i definitely didn't expect was for these Shure headphones to come close to sounding like them! The sound is open and subtle, and genuinely satisfying. The bass is rich and firm, and that is more than you should expect from portable headphones. I listened to the Verve, Massive Attack, Keane, Madonna, Zero7, Manics, Destiny's Child and classical pieces. Everything is a pleasure.

I would heartily recommend a pair for your ipod, iriver, walkman, or whatever. A solid investment!

UPDATE 22/10/09-

Hello!

Just a quick one- I've somehow contrived to breaking the jack on these headphones (smashed it in my car door, ughhhh!). So, I've just had a look around for new headphones. Having briefly considered the Ety ER-6i's and Klipsch S4's, I'm going to stick with what I know, and buy another pair of e2c's instead. The End.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music how it should be heard, 25 Aug 2004
By A Customer
I've only owned these phones a couple of hours but I can already say they're a massive improvement on the Sony Fontopia phones I used to own. I can't compare them with any other phones and I'm sure you could get similar quality sound from a decent pair of closed back headphones. But for those looking for earbuds then this is the only choice as far as I'm concerned.

I'd only consider the 'in-ear' type when buying earbuds because the conventional type that rest in your ear and are supplied with most portable players are too uncomforatable and don't block out outside noise. So that doesn't leave many choices. These phones are £30 more expensive than Sony Fontopias but in my opinion they're more than worth the extra outlay. All the Sony's have to offer is strong bass, and it's not even well defined. These phones offer MUSIC! The bass is as strong as those fontopias but much clearer. Vocals and midrange practically sing! And the treble is bright without being harsh. They're also very comfortable, and the build quality looks a world apart from those flimsy Sonys.
