Amazon.com Product Description
Shure's E2c in-ear headphones are tiny, lightweight, and designed to sonically outperform most ear-bud-style headphones. The E2c's unique, relatively affordable design comes from Shure's years of collaborating with professional musicians. With high-energy drivers in distinctive enclosures, the E2c produces high-quality sound with excellent isolation from background noise.

The E2c's speakers are constructed with studio-grade components, producing exceptional audio clarity. Their in-ear design, using supplied flex sleeves, naturally blocks background noise. This permits lower listening volumes in loud environments--critical in safeguarding your hearing during performance or other activities. No batteries or extra equipment are needed for sound isolation.

Because every ear is different, E2c earphones come with 3 pairs (small, medium, large) of flex sleeves and 3 pairs (small, medium, large) ultra-soft flex sleeves to ensure a personalized fit. These disposable foam sleeves gently compress to fit in the ear canal. Once in the ear, the foam expands to form a tight seal. Once tightly sealed, the sleeves hold the earphones firmly in place.

The E2c's cables pass behind the ear--out of sight and out of the way for comfort and discretion. Weighing only 1 ounce, the E2c is lightweight and comfortable enough for any portable listening application. The set comes with a soft, stylish, compact, and zippered carrying case, which allows for an easy, tangle-free way to store your earphones.

Customer Reviews

At first I didn't get it.
I've never used this type of earphone before. My first impression, after fiddling with the fit, was that they were terrible...no bass at all. I even wrote a review that said my iphone earbuds sounded better.

I've reconsidered this position after using them all day. I think the reason the reviews all say such polar opposite things (either they sound "amazing" or "terrible") is that there is a compromise that is made with regard to bass. It's subjective. My iphone ear buds do have more bass, but it's booming, and it tends to obscure the mid range almost completely. The highs do sneak through better than the mids, but they too are battling to come through the mush created by the booming bass.

It's a choice.

Do you want lots of bass, or do you want clear, full mids and highs? If I were using these headphones to listen to dance music while I did aerobics, I would go for booming bass, but if I'm listening to music that includes anything subtle, and I want to hear those subtleties, I would forego some bass.

I'm listening to Once in a Lifetime (Talking Heads) as I write this, and it sounds fantastic. The bass guitar and drums are clear and distinct. The guitar cuts right through. Ok, now Green Day, Wake Me up When September comes. The acoustic guitar is absolutely crystal clear. I can hear the ticks of the pick against the strings.

Added, next day:

Ok, this is embarrassing. I just found the eq on my iphone. Didn't realize it had one. So, uh, bumped the bass a little and it sounds fabulous. Plenty of bass.

Great sound, noise cancelling, nice Bass
Shure E2c Sound Isolating Earphones

I purchased these headphones about 18 months ago. So far, they are the best phones I have found. Good bass, cancels out noise better than the Bose "noise cancelling" and they have a pretty good fit. Two things I don't like as well. 1. Over the ear wires. In order to get a proper fit, you have to drape the wires over your ears and then back down. 2. Ear fit. Although Shure gives you multiple options for ear sizes, these don't fit just right for me unless I ram them into my ears.

Overall this is a GREAT set and I highly recommend them.

Had to return them
Not sure if this was a one off problem. I had to return them as the sound was really bad on my IPod Touch.
