Product Description

Originally developed for professional musicians, the E3c combines WideBand MicroDriver technology with a sound isolating design to deliver rich, detailed sound with improved high end while blocking outside noise - ideal for optimizing your listening experience with portable MP3, DVD, and CD players as well as all other audio sources.The E3c'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.The E3c's speakers are constructed with studio-grade components to produce exceptional audio clarity, delivering detailed highs and enhanced bass that allows you to hear parts of your music you've never heard before.Because every ear is different, E3c Earphones come with a pair of disposable Foam Sleeves, three pairs (small, medium, large) of Flex Sleeves, and three pairs of Soft Flex Sleeves (small, medium, large) to ensure the ideal personalized fit.

Worth the $$.......2007-10-28

Well worth the money. Great clean sound, nice base. Excellent addition to my iPod. Blocks noise very well. And comfortable, I wear mine about 4 hours a day with little ear fatigue. I was hesitant spending this much for a pair of earphones, but glad I did. These are so nice I even use them to edit video/audio on my computer. I also like the included carrying case, nice protection for this investment.

Good sound, noise reduction, and portability - but ultimately frustrating.......2007-09-18

On my second trip to Europe in 2005 I brought along my iPod Mini and a pair of Sony noise-cancelling headphones. Both helped make the almost 15 hours of plane time much easier to bear. But on my third trip this year I needed to go as light as possible. I'd upgraded to the more portable iPod Nano 4GB, and I wanted to find a quality "earphone" that would sound good, drown out the flight noise, be compact, and stay in my ears. The Sure E3c scored in three out of the four categories - but the fourth overshadowed the other three, and was ultimately a showstopper for me.

I normally don't care for earphones of any kind. It's hard to get used to having something lodged in my ear canal. However, since I was heading to Europe for a 500-mile backpacking trek, I had to pare down my load. My headphones were much too bulky and fragile to shlep along on such a trek, so I sucked it up and started researching earphones. I soon discovered that the Shure line had the most fervent devotees. Folks raved about their sound, and I liked how they rolled up into a hard zippered case not much bigger than a ping-pong ball. So, I finally settled on the E3c model - a bit spendy, but not a huge price jump from the E2c line.

I was so busy with other travel preparations that I waited until the actual plane ride before trying them out. I immediately clashed with the rubber earphone covers. None of them worked for me - the bud started sliding out of my ear canal almost immediately. After wading through a couple sizes, I gave up and turned my hopes toward the yellow spongy earplug-like covers. A bit of kneading rewarded me with a decent seal upon insertion, and I was finally able to relax for a bit and listen to my music.

As other reviewers have noted, the sound quality of the E3c line is quite good. In some ways, it was almost like listening to my old music for the first time due to the excellent crispness and clarity (although the bass is nothing to write home about). I was able to hear new details in familiar songs, thereby gaining a deeper appreciation for them. The noise reduction is also up to par, and the difference was very noticeable when I took them out of my ears - or when they fell out against my will, which was far too often.

Indeed, like a first date that starts out good but quickly goes sour, the E3c's limitations began to make themselves known. When the in-flight meal came and I started chewing, the buds quickly worked their way out of my ears - so no music to accompany my dinner. A number of times when I moved around (especially while napping) I'd tug the E3c cord, and *pop* went one or both phones out of my ear. It's annoying when Mozart is immediately replaced by engine noise and passenger conversation, particularly when you've finally managed to fall asleep. And for no apparent reason while sitting still, one or both would simply work their way loose. Finally, having to use the tiny wax cleaner to remove buildup from the sound canal was kind of gross. Despite their bulk, I began to long for my Sony headphones.

In the end, even with the portability and great sound (when I had a good ear canal seal, that is), the Shures were more frustrating than pleasurable. I got tired of reinserting them over and over again, not being able to listen while eating, accidently yanking them out, and having to clean them. If you don't struggle with these issues, then I recommend you get the E3c's because of their fine sound, lightness, and space-saving size. As for me, I suppose I'll have to use them when portability is a must. But otherwise I'll stick with headphones.

While these are genuinely better than previous sound-isolating ear phones I have used with a full-face helmet, they still do not register much bass at anything over 40mph. It is crucial to get the correct seal. To do that, it's worthwhile to try all of the ear inserts Shure provides, and be meticulous about getting them properly established before you take off. Once underway it's all to easy to catch the cord, even on the collar of your jacket, and pull one of the ear plugs out. Then your stuck until the next opportunity to take the helmet off. If you're looking at using these on a motorbike, audio books and simple rock work reasonably well. For me, the orchestral and acoustic stuff isn't worth even taking along.

Shure--great earphones, great service.......2007-08-26

I purchased some E3's to upgrade from my E2 when I bought a new ipod. I loved the E2's and as expected the E3's are even better--with more definition at all frequencies and sound levels. The fit in the ear does have some sweet spots and Shure provides a number of ear plug options to help everyone find something they like. I have compared these earphones to my Bose Quiet Comfort headphones sitting in the rear of a jet while travelling (next to the engine). The less expensive E3 beat out the Bose headphones with better high and middle end definition and equivalent outside sound isolation. The Bose headphones have a bit better low end.. but nothing is bone shaking with earphones or headphones anyway.

As for Shure customer service--I had a suspected loose wire in one of the earplugs (used for 8 months) leading to dropouts when I would move my head. I got a return form off the Shure website--filled it out and sent it along with a copy of my receipt to Shure. Within 10 days, they had sent out a completely new pair at no charge. THAT is great service. The thing I have not told you is that despite the fact that I had a problem with the E3's, I could not live without some earplugs--so I went out and bought a pair of Shure SE420's while I was waiting for my E3 "repair". (I had already given my E2's to another friend--who says he loves them). Now I have my new E3 and the higher end SE420! The only reason that the E3 did not get a "5" is because the SE420's are definitely richer sounding--something I would never have thought possible without having both to compare directly. Can't live without em! I would recommend the entire line of Shure earphones, buying whichever one best fits your budget.

Perfect!.......2007-08-24

Just got these in the mail today and have tried all of the different sleeves. I had good results with a few of them, but when I tried the yellow foams I could not believe how good the sounds was. The sound isolation is very good and the range if great. If you have them inserted properly there is plenty of bass. I've been using them for about an hour and love the sound, comfort and isolation. Best earphones I've ever had for my ipod after trying several cheaper earbuds ($20-$40), including those that come with the ipod.
