  • Best Sounding, Best Looking, Most Expensive Earphones Ever!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 4, 2006
    Pros: Exceptionally clear mids, and highs. Extended bass response. VERY comfortable.
    Cons: Expensive, Bass could be better for price range.

    Summary: Let me first start off by saying that I am not the type of person that would normally pay $300 for a set of headphones. As it turned out I had a large store credit burning a hole in my pocket, so I ended up paying $269 for these babies at Ultimate ... read more

  • Good mids and highs, but weak bass

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 17, 2008
    Pros: Excellent high and mid frequencies. Nice fit with many options.
    Cons: Poor bass response. Weak wiring.

    Summary: I bought a pair of Shure E4c's in 2005 for use mainly with my i-Pod. I was taking a trip to Japan that fall, and I wanted to have a quality pair of earphones for the long flight over and back. I already owned a pair of Shure E3c's, which I felt performed ... read more

  • As Good As It Gets

    Pros: The smoothest response in the business. Easy to drive with nice case.
    Cons: NONE

    Summary: After going through exhaustive research and use of just about every top flight "In Ear Monitor" type of stereo headphone setup I tried one of the Shure E4C's as a last ditch effort before I literally gave up on hopes of finding the "holy grail" of in ear ... read more

  • Like a candy shop for the ears

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 14, 2006
    Pros: If you've spent the money on a good Mp3 player, these are an awesome companion.
    Cons: Pricey entrance fee

    Summary: I prefer in ear headphones as opposed to clunky over hear headphones for many reasons. As a commuter I like to block out the sounds of others and keep my sound in. I like to fall asleep sometimes as well without making the weight of my head any heavier. ... read more

  • Best Headphones I've ever had

    Jul 18, 2006
    Pros: Clarity is unreal, very sturdy, amazing sound, changeable tips
    Cons: pricey, too long a cord,

    Summary: I workout 5-6x a week and It's very important to me to have a good set of headphones to get my pumped up. -I tried the sennheisers cx300 and I really enjoyed the sound but they were very uncomfortable in my ears. -Ipod headphones are just horrile, I ... read more

  • This much money...for what?

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 11, 2006
    Pros: Great highs and midranges. Solid construction and appears it's built to last.
    Cons: Poor bass response. Horrible thumping noise when you walk or run.

    Summary: Ok, so I really tried to like these. The highs are exceptional and mids are not bad, but when it comes to bass, this is where the trouble starts. In the manual they state that you have to get a "good seal" with the ear canal to get a good bass ... read more

  • Best ear buds I've owned

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 18, 2006
    Pros: High quality, great sound, variety of ear pieces, the cord.
    Cons: Price.

    Summary: I once heard something on a commercial that really sticks in my mind: "You'll remember the quality long after forgetting about the price". Yes, I saved the $299 and it hurt spending it on these my Shure e4c's, but they're well worth it. I chose not to ... read more

  • I like them so much I've worn out 2 pair

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Mar 30, 2009
    Pros: Sound, fit.
    Cons: Bad wires. 

    Summary: The problem with these is they sound so good you wear them out.  I returned my first set after about 18 months (on the original 2 year warrantee) and they sent me a brand new set.  The wires of the second set had some bad insulation, and after

  • Not worth the money

    Pros: superb sound, great noise cancelling, very cool
    Cons: longevity, length of cable (very unwieldy)

    Summary: i bought a pair of e4cs about 8 months ago-paid top dollar for it. in about 6 months, the insulation on the cable wore out, and at this point in time, i dont have sound in one ear. makes me wonder if paying this kinda money is worth it, despite the

  • Shure Products are Horrible Horrible Quality

    Pros: Good fit in the ears. Sound OK, when it works. Long cord.
    Cons: Worst quality I have every experienced with ANYTHING!! Sound goes easily. Pieces break off!

    Summary: I wrote a review about the E3c model, how they broke all the time; how I had to send them back to Shure 5 times for repair. This final time, the 5th time I sent them back; Shure sent me an upgraded pair of E4cs. Garbage, just garbage. They broke

    Cons: MY CREATIVE ZEN V BARELY FILLS THESE EVEN WITH EQUALIZER HELP, BETTER HAVE NICE PLAYER

    Summary: JR.COM HAS THESE ON SALE RIGHT NOW FOR $199.99!! I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM EXCEPT THE LOVE I FEEL FOR THEM FOR SELLING ME THESE PHONES SO CHEAPLY. BRAND NEW FACTORY SEALED $214.00 TO MY DOOR IN TWO DAYS! THERE'S YOUR BREAK IN LIFE, ACT FAST BEFORE

  • Excellent Headphones

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Nov 30, 2006
    Pros: Outstanding Clarity, Excellent Design
    Cons: A little weak on bass

    Summary: The E4's are the best anywhere in terms of clarity and cannot be beat. You can try them all and I think they are right on top. The only weakness, improved bass over the E3's, but still needs a little work. Yes, you can set your equalizer and all that,
