Shure E2C

Pros: Compact, comfortable, very good, detailed sound.

Cons: High price, Replacement sleeves and wax guards are costly, maybe not enough bass

The Bottom Line: A bit more expensive than they probably should be but worth the price. Additional ownership costs are annoying and unnecessary.

Review: Intro - I seem to have had a lifelong love affair with portable audio. As I noted in my earlier review of the Sandisk Sansa E 260 (

Pros: Absolutely wonderful sound...sturdy *equilateral* cord...different sets of sleeves for a great fit

Cons: Sleeves are proprietary...sooner or later they'll wear out, and only available through Shure

The Bottom Line: Any music lover--serious or casual--would benefit greatly from these...amazing sound reproduction, reasonably priced (esp. on the Internet), sturdy construction. Well thought out and engineeered!

Review: I m going to start this review by telling you that I love music and I ve always wanted to take my music with me. I was one of the first in my neighborhood to own a cassette player in the early 70s I worked up and through the Walkmans and Discmans...

Pros: sound-isolating, excellent sound quality, neutral & well balanced, seemingly durable cable

Cons: may require fidgeting with EQ, finding optimal fit takes a while / experimenting

The Bottom Line: Superb sound quality. May take time finding optimal fit but well worth it! Loves high quality encodings!

Review: The Dilemma

After the cable on my Sony MDR-EX81LP started to loose its rubber coating and the wires themselves started fraying after 2.5 years, it was about time to start researching a replacement / upgrade. Although the cutting...

Pros: Sound quality, noise isolation, sound quality and... did I mention sound quality?

Cons: Cost, fit, earwax stickers

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended if you can spend the money they're worth (and if you have average ears!)

Review: I recently bought a pair of Shure E2c headphones to use with an MP3 Player. These headphones are one of the best I've ever tried, including high-end, over-the-ear models and I definitely recommend them.

The Shure E2c goes into the ear...

Pros: Excellent sound quality, looks cool and futuristic, thick and sturdy cable

Cons: expensive,takes times to get use to the unusual fit,need a heavy break-in

The Bottom Line: With excellent sound quality, build quality, and sound isolation, this headphone is the way to go.

Review: After several pledging and begging to my parents for a year (they say I'm too young to have such expensive headphones(I'm 12)), I finally got to get these headphones.

The design

These headphones are special because:
-They...

Pros: Quality, comfort, styling, chic, different, sound isolation

Cons: Price for some people, poor bass

The Bottom Line: Very high quality to match the price. Poor bass though. Bin the iPod standard earphones and splash out!

Review: I bought these to replace the earphones from my 20Gb iPod. Standard iPod earphones are like sticking tea cups in your ears, rather painful to say the least.

I had read that the quality from Shure is good. The E2C being the least expensive...

Pros: Great price to performance ratio, excellent sound isolation

Cons: Takes getting used to at first, can get annoying to take in and out

The Bottom Line: Get it if you want to spend less than $80 and want portable, excellent earphones!

Review: Introduction
I bought the E2c as replacements for my Sony EX71s which just stopped working in one ear... time for a sound upgrade anyhow.

The Earphones I was looking for were to be used whilst travelling to and from school on a...

Pros: Great durability and excellent sound quality.

Cons: Takes a few seconds longer to get into your ear properly.

The Bottom Line: These are truly a fantastic set of headphones. Had I spent twice as much for them, I would still consider these well worth it and a bargain at that.

Review: History:

I bought my e2c's 1.5 years ago for $80 and have no complaints at all. I am not going to go into the technicals but only how they have lasted up until this point (Jan '07).


Usage:

iPod - When...

Pros: Comfort, build quality, sound isolation

Cons: Cost, mediocre sound, cost...cost.

Review: I bought these about 3 hours ago ($100), and have already boxed them up for return. I was searching for higher grade in-ear headphones for my ipod. Yesterday, I read all the positive reviews on this site, and chose to blow my entire gift card on...

Pros: Fantastic sound from comfortable headphones that will stay put

Cons: Not true noise-canceling; a little pricey

The Bottom Line: An excellent set of in-ear headphones that produce a rich array of sound and are very comfortable to wear.

Review: After many years of faithful use from my set of Sony earbuds, I had gotten to the point where I was ready to try a slightly more sophisticated set of in-ear headphones (read: the rubber on the right cord was worn to the point where there was over an...
