Shure E2C Consumer Headphones

Pros: Compact, comfortable, very good, detailed sound.
Cons: High price, Replacement sleeves and wax guards are costly, maybe not enough bass

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 ( h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _370631151236 ), I was into portable audio ...

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 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 edge style of ...

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

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 incorporate a very ...

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

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 quality, noise isolation, sound quality and... did I mention sound quality?
Cons: Cost, fit, earwax stickers

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 canal just ...

Pros: Quality, comfort, styling, chic, different, sound isolation
Cons: Price for some people, poor bass

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 in the range ...

Pros: Good sound
Cons: Uncomfortable, poorly manufactured

I bought these because they received good reviews from the industry press and because, as a performing musician, I used Shure microphones for years and loved them. First thing I noticed when unpacking them is that they came with a little case. You are ...

Pros: Fantastic sound from comfortable headphones that will stay put
Cons: Not true noise-canceling; a little pricey

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 inch ...

Pros: Excellent midrange detail. Sturdy construction. Great sound insulation.
Cons: Fit a tad on the invasive side. Bassheads may not be sated.

Open the package for these, the entry level model of the Shure canalphone line, and immediately you become aware that much has been put into providing a quality product. Starting with the 'phones themselves (backed by a hearty two-year warranty), one ...

Pros: Sound isolation Clear sound Full range of sound Not any less comfortable than everyday earplugs
Cons: The carrying case design Make sure you put on the ends that fit your ear

I've had the headphones for about two weeks now, and they are very nice. The sound isolation is much better than I expected--you can do loud things like mow the lawn or drive down the freeway with the windows down--and still listen at a low enough ...

Pros: Clean sound, noise blocking, and sensitivity
Cons: Raw ears over long use, lack of strong bass

Running tech for loud concerts, been there. Airplane rides (cause I am a traveling salesman), done that. Different situation require a different headphone until now. The Shure E2s fit in with most need in most situations. They have clean highs and ...

Pros: Great noise cancellation/isolation, improved, more accurate sound. Solid construction.
Cons: Difficult to fit. Big price tag/only marginal improvement in sound quality. Not for bassheads.

I have had these for a few days now. Most of what I've read on them says it takes at least a week to get comfortable with them, so I'm going to stick with it for a bit. These earphones are of the canal variety meaning, you have to push them into the ...

Pros: Great price to performance ratio, excellent sound isolation
Cons: Takes getting used to at first, can get annoying to take in and out

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 noisy bus as ...

Pros: Amazingly balanced and impressive clarity.
Cons: A little uncomfortable. Inserting them takes some practice.

First off for reference I'm going to say a few things... I stay away from anything audio wearing the name badges of Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, etc... Those companies produce some great products, but for audio I stick with names like Grado, Sennheiser, ...

Pros: Great sound isolation, incredible highs, and handy over-ear cord fit.
Cons: Wiring prone to shorting out. The lows: not so good. Ear pieces don't fit well.

I bought these Shure E2C's because I listen to my iPod at work all most all day. I work construction, so the work environment is very noisy and I needed something that wouldn't make my ears hot (like the Bose headphones) but would still keep outside ...
