What our customer's say!

"pokey", The foams are sometimes itchy and irritating. They also collect ear gunk fast. These are the best foams to use to keep out the sound in my opinion. However, I would not pay that much for peices of foam to replace dirty ones. So instead I found out that you can just tie them in a sock and put them in with the laundry and they come out just like new!

"Best all round Shure Ear Piece", Shure offers several ear pieces for the E3, E4, and other similarly designed headphones. I find the yellow foam sleeves the best in terms of fit and ambient noise reduction. By design however; any headphone which fits in the ear canal will never be as good as a headphone which sits on- or covers the entire ear.

I have several complaints: Most notibly how expensive this simple piece costs. I tried making a similar device using ear plugs designed for shooting but the headphone wouldn't stay attached to the plug. (I was not going to risk pouring glue near the tiny speakers.) Also "memory foam" loses its "rebound" quickly with daily use. I can use an ear piece about ten times before it does not expand full enough to enclose the ear and prevent exterior noise. Finally, I do not like the optic yellow color.

Compared to the hard silicone pieces that came with my head phones, these are vastly superior. Compared to the rubber bear buds, the rubber earbuds are easier to put in your ear but once they get sweaty, they are slippery and fall out repeatedly. I also have a pair of the "Triple Flange" designed Shure Ear Buds. They are very good but still lose their tackiness once you start to sweat (I use my E3's exclusively for working out. If I'm in a cafe or other public place where I want noise reduction, I use a Bose product which sits on the outside of the ear.)

For the E3 / E4 headphones the Yellow Foam Sleeves work best for me. If the cost, color, and longevity were better, I would have rated this product much higher.

Respectfully submitted, K.K.

"Comfortable", These foam ear foams block out outside noises and are very comfortable to wear. I had some trouble getting them to fit on the earpiece, but they are worth the struggle.

"A must have for shure earphones", I have tried many times of sleeves for my Shure 3C. I even had custom sleeves specifically made for my ears. None worked as well as this one. It stays in the ear very well and provides excellent isolation. The only drawback is that you have to replace it fairly often.

"Product is as described!", Product is exactly what I was looking for and was delivered promptly, I'm very satisfied.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Didn't realize how worn out my old ones were!", After 8 months of thinking, "these (foam inserts that came with my E3c's)will last forever" I broke down and ordered these replacements as the originals were getting quite dirty. Whoa! The new ones made me realize how much my originals had hardened. My great sound and comfort was back - and the decay was so gradual I didn't even realize what I was missing!

So, 5 stars for performance, but 3 stars for what amounts to some pretty expensive foam ear plugs. Avg=4stars.

"Must Have for Shure users", I agree with the other reviews on the foam inserts for my Shure earpieces in so far as they really do render the music much better than the other earpieces that come with the headphones. And talk about noise canceling! With these in your ears, you will hear nothing of the outside world. I use them when I'm riding my motorcycle and they are the only earpieces I've found that adequately cuts wind and engine noise while doing 80 down the highway. :)

Where I disagree with others is that I find these earpieces to be much more comfortable than the more perminent ones. A perfect fit every time.

The one shortcoming, if you can call it that, is that they are disposable so you'll go through a pair every few months - I use mine daily and they last two months (three if I ignore a little dirt).

Stock up! Once you've become accustomed to these, you'll never be able to use ear buds again.

"Full sound in a quiet enviroment.", This was really not a pre-meditated plan, but after I tried all the different pieces in the shure fit-kit I realized that I liked the sound much better with the yellow "earplug" style foams. After a week I realized that they do not say spongy for ever. the foams are definately more of a disposable item than the soft plastic ear pieces.

But that said, it all comes down to this - using the foams for some reason seem to render the music with more definition, and particularly the base seems to have significantly more juice and details. Im not a audio geek, so that this with a "a grain of salt", but I spend hours one afternoon swapping earpieces on the headset... and yes, the foams deliver more defined sound.. but they also quiet the room MUCH more than the other styles and let you play the same piece at about 25% less volume..

Seriously, since all the styles came with your Shure headset, you probably already know this, But my vote for music quality is the yellow foams, for easy removel and maybe more wearing comfort use the soft clear or blacks.

I only give them a 4 because its still a headache to squize them to "install" before listening. great sound and beautiful quiet on the airplane.. but its not a perfect solution.. but then again. what is..?
