    Good Points: Light. Many buds.


    Bad Points: £.5mm plug may not fit devices with case


    General comments: People are saying that there is not enough bass. This is because people without musical ears just judge earphones on how much thumping bass there is. The sound should be balanced with crisp highs aswell as full bass. These e3c's offer all round sound.

    Awesome buds that can be had for under $100.00. Well worth it!Excellent quality throughout. Perfect fit in ear canal to offer best sound and noise-isolation. Bass is more than acceptable, especially with a headphone amp

    I was looking for a good pair of earphones for about £100 for my ipod Nano. Saw reviews that Shure E2c's were good, so when I found Micro Anvik selling the E3c's at 1/2 price (£75), I bought them immediately, thinking I had a bargain. However the sound was absolute trash and so harsh that they hurt my ears. Took them back to the shop thinking that there must be a problem, but a second pair sounded just the same - awful. I thought I would have trouble getting a refund but the manager ...

    I urge you not to buy the Shure E3c earphones!
    I feel terrible for what I'm about to say but I think the public should know?... after months of trawling threw countless reviews on what ear/headphones to buy I decided to buy a set of Shure E3c's... what a huge mistake.
    How people can say they are "just superb" I'll never know, I paid £80 for mine but in my opinion they weren't even worth £5 and I'm being deadly serious.
    I was absolutely gutted to point I had to advertise them on a ...

    I bought the Shure E3c headphones, and only had them for three days before I sold them. I was very disappointed indeed. There was no bass at all and they caused pain in my ears.

    Hi all. These Shure E3c are my first ear canal headphones and I must say that I will not go back to any other headphones. I've had numerous headphones like seinheissers, Bose noise cancellation and other regular earphones. This certainly takes the cake. For certain, this beats Bose Quiet comfort hands down first in terms of portability. Next, is the rugged design. Bose's ear cup padding wears off easily and is US$30 a pair to replace!
    When it comes down to isolating noise, there is pros and co ...

    Am I missing something here? Let me see. If Apple ipod standard earbuds sound so much better when physically held closely in the ear canal, why don't they design it in such a way that they will stay snug all by themselves? Hey, I think the standard iPod buds are pretty darn good, I don't care what anyone says, although they are no match sonically for the E3c's by Shure. The Shure's are more balanced and open with better sound-staging. If you're an audiophile, the E3c's are for you. The Shure's a ...

    I purchased these Shure E3c Headphones from the Apple Shop to use on my iPod and was a bit worried about the cost of these as they were £119, but I need not have been.

    The only advice I would say is that these earphones do not come to their best until burned in, what I mean by this is that they need to be run for around 36+ hours at mid volume you can leave them running plugged into your mp3/cd player for this time, doing this will bring the best sound out of these however it does not ...

    Tried all sorts of phones with all sorts of results. The Shure E3c are the best ever, although long periods of use can be wearing, but as I work a 12 hour night shift, I'm getting used to it.
