    Good Points: Sound. Sound isolation. Sound insulation. Manufacturing. Comfort.


    Bad Points: Cable sheath fraying around the earbuds (after 3years satisfyingly-intensive use)!


    General comments: Their technical components are robust and manage high volumes well. Their frequency response is as wide as a barn door, and reassuringly so at the lower frequencies, compared to other in-ear 'phones of competitive price.
    Great comfort: It's simply not an issue: I've woken up several times with them still attached!
    For sound isolation they score 10/10, but also an equally important 10/10 for sound INSULATION: The wife doesn't complain when I play them loud and proud!
    Worth EVERY penny: I'm seeking to replace like-for-like.

    Apart from some discomfort, the v are great earphones for the price. Very little distortion, good all round sound. I prefer the Foam buds as they seem to isolate the sound better. Good value (even when i bought them for £65 over a year ago), i think they're half that now, bargain! I have used mine frequently for easily over a year now and i have seen no wear and tear, apart from the foam buds, but these can be replaced.

    Just realised how much better than the standard Creative Zen headphones these are. Weak & tinny replaced with full & powerful. Managed to pick the e2c model up for £30 on Amazon - awesome for the price!! Hope the SE110 replacements will be as good.

    Uncomfortable, takes time to fit them in. Sound is not that impressive base, could be softer and wider. I would not recommend the Shure E2c headphones.

    Based on the reviews (7 ok out of 9) I chose to buy the E2c over similarly-priced alternatives (UE, Sennheiser). The first time I received the earphones I was only too eager to try it out as it was shipped and was really disappointed at first as the sound was very bad (worse than the standard ipod earphones) and the fit was no good. I was ready to shout blue murder and set the earphones aside - and confirm the negative reviews. Later that day, I took the time to change the rubber sleeves to the ...

    I originally wrote a review for these before having tried all the different sized bud things. At the time I found them uncomfortable and with a very poor sound quality.

    Having spent some time finding the buds that fitted me well and working how to fit them in my ear, with the cable looped over the top of the ear the sound was transformed.

    They can get caught out occasionally by some really fast hard rock but for the most part sound really accomplished and are excellent value for money. ...

    Some people say to change sound settings on player to get the best sound from your Shure E2c - why should I? Plus it doesn't work, some people say with time these get more bass sound. Not true.

    These headphones may be fine for some people but if you like a warm bassy smooth sound stay well clear.

    Seriously impressed - decided to take the plunge with Shure (whose mics I have been using for decades) when I spotted the E2c earphones for £30 on Amazon... hard to imagine that the E4c may actually be better... happy to stick to E2c!!

    They are great for tuning out my annoying roommate! I bought these to help me study in public without distractions, and they work great! They are definitely worth the buy, but try to find the Shure E2c headphones on sale first.

    The Shure E2c have dramatically improved the quality of the portable devices that I use them with (PSP, iPod G4, iPod Nano, Laptop) and cannot recommend them highly enough for that.

    I also used them a for some flights recently and they dramatically reduced the sound of the engines and general flight noise, but other passengers and flight attendants might think you are being rude as you will not hear them at all.

    The only real downsides once you have chosen an in ear model of phone is that ...

    I wanted headphones I could use on my train journey to work, and the active noise reducing type suffered from lots of buffeting in the summer when people had the windows open. I saw a review for the Shure E2c headphones and bought a pair.

    Whilst being fiddly to get used to, they are amazing. No batteries, just great ability to keep the noise out. I found the foam covers best, as they did not cause the weird ear pressure thing that I found with the silicon ones.

    The sound quality is terrifi ...

    Shure E2c: I'll start this by saying the Sony MDR-EX71SLs are great phones for the money. I had a pair and after 18 months of pure abuse the left channel died (RIP!)

    Whilst looking for replacements I came across various Shure and Etymotic models. Cheapest were the E2C's which after umming and erring I bought instead of the Sonys.

    It took a lot of messing around to get them to fit. Foam sleeves didn't work. Only the small plastic ones would fit and the sound was only good if I kept my mouth ...

    Not much more to say about the Shure E2c headphones. Is it worth the price? $70 USD - yes! $100 only if you have cash to throw away!!!
