What our customer's say!

"Not what I ordered", I ordered the Shure E3c but was sent, without notification, the Shure SE210. Perhaps the SE210 is better, but it seems pretty sleazy to send a different item without asking the buyer. It was not Amazon that made the switch; the order came from Electronics Expo.

"Shure E3C-sn and SE210 Great Product", I have these as well as the E2 version. I use these daily at the gym 5 days a week as well as well as when walking or jogging. I've had these for several months and here are my results:

2. Bass: The key is getting the proper fit, and I suspect most people that are not getting good bass have not properly fitted the buds.

3. Getting a proper fit. Several bud covers come with the package. Try each style to insure a tight fit deep into the ear canal.

4. Getting the flanges to fit: I also found the yellow and silicone covers didn't fit and fell out of my ear. So I tried the flange tips. Initially, they were too long to fit in my ear canals. I found that I could snip off one piece of flange on each side and they fit. I also found that if I slightly moisten each flange before inserting into the ear, and then slip them in with a clockwise motion, they seat properly and do not fall out.

4. Maintenance: The flanges, especially, with the deep fit in the ear, can collect ear wax, so these tips can be cleaned carefully. The flanges seem to last forever. A flange replacement kit can be also purchased from Amazon for about $12. It's important to wind up the wires and place the phones back into their case after each use.

5. Placement when in use: Though the Shures can work hanging by down in front, as well as behind the head, I find that mine work best when I wrap behind the ear. The wire is sturdy enough so that even at the gym (working out or running), the wires remain in place.

Cost? It's a matter of "you get what you pay for". It's nice to have an electronic device with a 2 year warranty, and that can be worth the price, as evidenced by other customer comments about warranty service.

6. Sound blocking: When the tips are properly inserted, nearly all outside sound is blocked, even voices from people standing beside you. Ambient sound is virtually blocked. Just be careful if you wear these while walking or jogging outdoors.

7. Airplane: I used the pair I have with the flanged tips when I flew on a business trip, and virtually all jet noise was blocked.

8. Sound quality: I tend to listen to all genres of music, and I have been satisfied. I can adjust the equalizer on my Samsung MP3 to chnage sound response.

Cons: Not really any. It took me a while to get used to how to insert and properly wear these phones. I suspect that most customers that have any issues just don't take the time and effort to get a proper fit. I'd recommend any of the Shure line that has the flange tips that fit.

"Review", These headphones have better noise cancelling but the sound quality is not as good as the E3c-n series.

"Unauthorized substitution of merchandise", The retailer substituted another model (SE210) for the E3-c's I ordered. I was not consulted regarding the substitution. I realize the newer model could be considered a technical substitute for the model I ordered, but good business practice would have been to notify me the model I ordered was unavailable, and to ask if I would agree to the substitution. I am not pleased with the seller. I cannot in good conscience recommend them.

"They ruined my christmas shopping and gift...", I order Christmas gift for my boyfriend. However,I did not received the product I ordered. Instead, without asking me, they sent me the replacement which I did not impress at all. Luckily, I didn't put his address so I received it before he see it. According to them, the product was out of stock so they sent me the same company's newer product, but found out it is less value and I could get cheaper at different store. I really didn't want them to send me anything if they didn't have the product. Now I have to go to FedEx or UPS office and have to go thru unnecessary trip, which really ruined the point of internet shopping to save money and time for shopping... now it's so close to Christmas and I need to look for "replacement" gift... I really think they did that intensionally to sell their over stock items. In addition, I call and email them to return the item. They, of cause did not answer the phone and email response was auto message saying someone will response back but haven't hear from them. I now needed to contact my credit card company to stop the payment... what hasseI! I must need to say they are worse than scammer.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Great sound, not so great fit, save your money", Okay, so let me preface this review by saying that for the last month I have been doing a significant amount of research in preparation for buying a new pair of headphones. I was looking to get a pair of around ear or on ear headphones, and spend no more than $150. So the headphones I was looking at included the Audio Technica quietpoint noise canceling headphones, Bose triport around ear headphones, Sennheiser noise canceling headphones, and the likes.

I made a trip over to the apple store in order to try out a few of these different pairs. I tried the Bose triport headphones first. Extremely comfortable, very stylish, and fairly decent sound. I next tried the Audio Technica quietpoint headphones. Comfortable as well, terrific sound with noise cancelling on (better than the Bose triport), and also stylish, although they stick out a little farther off your head than the Bose triport do. I also tried the Bose quietcomfort 2 and 3 (although they were out of my price range). These were very comfortable and had great sound, but to tell you the truth, I found little different between the Audio Technica quietpoint and the Bose quietcomfort. The Bose may have been slightly more comfortable, but is that extra comfort worth twice the price of the audio technicas?

Anyways, after trying the various headphones, I asked some of the apples workers if they could tell me anything about the various headphones I was looking at. They knew very little, and weren't too helpful. They actually knew less than I did about the headphones, because I had been reading so many reviews and info about the headphones. However one of the apple workers showed me the Shure earphones that they carried. I had not considered in-ear headphones, and had actually never heard of Shure. This one worker knew a whole lot about the Shure earphones, he owned a pair and absolutely loved them. Another worker came up and said he owned a pair as well and also loved them. So I went home and did a little research on shure, and read a bunch of reviews.

The sounded like great headphones, got decent reviews, and I liked the idea of being able to block out noise with this tiny little earphones. So I went ahead and ordered the SCL3 (same as the E3c). After much anticipation, they arrived in the mail. I opened them up, laid out all the accessories that came in the box. Bag of different sleeves, earphones themselves, and a nice little case. I began by trying out all the different sleeves that it came with. Let me say that the silicon rubber ones are absolutely useless. Although they come in small, medium, and large, and I could not find any of them to fit or even stay in my ear for more than 10 seconds. The black foam ones were slightly better, also came in s, m, and l, but were not that tight of a seal or that comfortable. The best sleeves for me turned out to be the yellow foam ones. These are quite cool, you roll them between your fingers, place them in your ears and allow them to expand making a perfect seal.

The first thing I noticed upon putting these in, was their ability to block out all noise. I put them in without any music at first, and was just amazing at how all noise was blocked out. No buzzing of the refrigerator, no more birds chirping. They're essentially earplugs. I then put some music on. The sound was really incredible. I normally listen to my ipod at about 50-70% volume, but with these, I only needed my ipod at 30-35% volume max, and the sound was truly phenomenal. It sounds as if the music is in your head. I listened to some grateful dead, rolling stones, biggie, Beethoven, wu tang, Neil Young...a little of everything. The sound was great, especially when listening to live music.

HOWEVER: My gripe was the fit of the earphones. Maybe it is because I have small ears, but I found these earphones to not be that comfortable. Almost none of the sleeves fit except for the yellow sleeves, and even these were a hassle to put in and out and would fall out if the cord is tugged on even somewhat lightly. I also didn't like the feeling of having these earphones jammed deep in my ear for a long period. It was almost like a claustrophobic type of feeling (if that makes any sense). I was really disappointed that these headphones were uncomfortable and didn't stay in because the sound was truly great. Keep in mind, that I believe I have small ears, so it may be different for you.

I was pretty dissatisfied, since I had spent $125 bucks on these little guys. And I was even more disappointed when I learned I could not return them because it was apparently unsanitary since I had already tried them on. So I wound up selling them on Ebay for $100, and buying a pair of the Audio Technica quietpoint headphones, which I absolutely love! Great sound, great comfort, sleak looking, nice case.

All in all, I would not recommend the Shure earphones. I know plenty of people who absolutely love them (I have read so many headphone reviews over the past month), but they are not for me. Despite their great sound and incredible ability to cancel out noise, they weren't too comfortable (if they would even stay in at all).

"Excellent Product", I have been an engineer in the recording industry 40 yrs. I bought the E3C ear canal phones for monitoring live recordings I make with a mini disc recorder & as reference monitors for speaker evaluation. The Shures are the only ear canal phones that require no equalization.

They have very smooth nearly flat frequency response & great transient response. I highly recommend them to anyone who does critical listening, requiring a mirror image of the original source material.

"Great sound, great support", Bought these to replace a misplaced pair. They had some distortion at low volume and tossed on a shelf as I found the lost ones. I happen to live nearish the Shure location and brought the headphones in for repair. Within 5 minutes, I walked out with a new pair in exchange for the distorted ones. Very friendly, and really good headphones. I've bought them twice and would again (just not going to lose them now...).

"Don't buy this one", I just have this earphone in a week but I think my sony cost $20 sound much better than this one (THIS COST ME $140), SO DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE.

"Good quality and sound.", These lower priced Shure earphones are adequate for most listening. They don't have the deep bass of the higher priced models but they are a quality product for their price.
