What our customer's say!

"Odd shape, terrible low end", After using these for 3 weeks I can now confidently say that I am thoroughly disappointed with my purchase. My main gripe is the bass response... and I do have them inserted correctly in my ear. Although the mids and highs are great the bass is just so weak that most songs sound boring and lack depth. If I listened to rap it would be even worse.

The cord material is stiff and the way it comes out of the speaker is just retarded. Also the odd shape of the speaker/housing causes it to droop and fall out of your ear unless you use the foam inserts. There are 9 sets of inserts and I hate them all. My old sonys came with just one but they were perfect!

I'd love to smash these headphones with a hammer into little pieces but then I'm reminded that they cost $70. The only positive thing about them is the noise cancellation works very well.

"Excellent sound quality.", Never having used in-ear phones in the past I wasn't quite sure to expect. The only other earphone that I have extensive experience with is a vintage pair of Stax SRX-Mk3s. The E2c was the specific model that I was interested in, mostly in part due to Siegfried Linkwitz' study on reference earphones ([...]). After discovering that the E2c was no longer available I settled on the SCL2. While they do not sound as good as my Stax reference headphones, the SCL2 does sound mighty good. Their level of isolation and comfort using the supplied foam pads is excellent. Overall I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

"Very Good Buy", I just got a pair of the Shure SCL2 Sound Isolating Earphones in black and I have to say they sound really good with my iPod and laptop. They don't perform as well as my other set, the Shure SE530's but what do you expect when you compare what $500.00 buys you versus $69.00 or so. These are for me to wear exercising, riding my bicycle, and doing yard work in (which I don't dare do wearing the SE530's). All in all, the bottom-end Bass response is more than adequate and the SCL2's produce clear and pleasing high-end reproduction. A good buy!

"Very Good Sound; Incredible Customer Service", I just received a pair of these (in a clear styling) that replace a set of e2s I bought a couple of years ago. They're at least as good, and I suspect (as others have noted) that they'll improve somewhat after the break in period. The fit is good once you find the right match for your ears from the many included options, and unless you are *really* into sound you are going to think these are just great. I'm sure there are people who care a lot more about fine points of sound than I do who will be able to find flaws with these, but there's a point of diminishing returns for me around about this price point, and these are far and away the best I've found in this range.

Most importantly, though, this company totally blows me away with their customer service. My old e2s were about six months out of the very generous two year warranty, but had, about a year ago, started to very infrequently drop out in one ear -- probably a short in that ear's wire. It happened so infrequently that I ignored it until it got worse, and then these were out of warranty. I returned them with a note explaining the situation, and two weeks later got a brand new pair of these in the mail. It is pretty rare to find this kind of customer service, and it definitely factors into my five star review and my loyalty to this brand.

"thank goodness for the warranty! again!", I'm on my second pair of Shures. The first were E2's that the right side just quit working. They were probably 10 months old. Now I have SCL2's which they sent me instead of the E2's. I'm 8 months into owning them and the LEFT side is now DEAD. I don't think I'm hard on earphones; I just use them at the gym and walking and the bulk of the time is talk podcasts! I guess I'm glad they have a two year warranty, but it would be nicer if they just made earphones that would last for at least a year, for these prices. They'd get 1 star if they didn't stand by their warranty. I'm beginning to wonder if cheap earphones replaced over and over wouldn't cost the same or less than shipping these things back over and over....

"Headphones pay for themselves. Excellent Company. ", I've used this Shure headphone model for over a year and so far I'm impressed with the sound quality and the customer support.

Most importantly, it is key to find the right fitting sleeves to get the best sound possible. I find when I'm running on the treadmill and start breaking a heavy sweat, the foam sleeves dont slip out from moisture/sweat around my ear- a pet peeve of mine I've had with other headphones. Otherwise on the airplane I use the black soft flex sleeves or keep the foam ones on.

Take the time to find the best fit for each ear. I noticed my right ear canal is a little larger than my left ear, so I use different sizes for each ear.

Because I use these headphones a lot, especially when I ride my bike or go for long runs, they are likely to take a hit. I suppose if I constantly kept them in the protective case, I wouldn't have to require two replacements within a year and a half. Suffice it to say, Shure has replaced two sets of headphones without me having to provide a receipt or specific documentation.

I'm not an expert in sound quality, so I'm sure there are improvements in higher end Shure models, but for someone like me who is picky, but not a perfectionist about sound quality, these are great. Its neat to hear with these headphones sounds of songs I never heard before with my computer speakers-these headphones really lets me appreciate the music more.

Overall, very satisfied with this model and the company. They have me as a customer for life.

**Just a side note- to really get the best sounding music, its just as important of the quality of the music being played. MP3 files are whats called 'lossy' meaning they lose quality upon conversion. Instead of converting/downloading mp3 files, download .shn or .flac files to get the audio at it's losless, original form. There really is a difference, at least for me.

"Great Sound. Great service. Good for auditory health. ", I had a pair of E2's for about 13 months. I use them mostly for books, not music. They're remarkable, in comfort, sound, clarity, etc. The main reason I bought them was for health. I had found when I used the cheap earphones while driving, or especially riding a bike, with, I had to turn the volume up so high that I'd have a slight ringing in my ears when I took them off. I'm 31 year old--not interested in spending $5000 on hearing aids in 10 years just because I thought $75 was an outrageous amount to pay for earphones.

...the rest of the story. About 13 months after purchasing the earphones, their began to cut in and out. I really don't blame the earphones here--I never used the special holder they included with the earphones. Instead I'd just wrap them around my iPod and stuff them in my pocket.

I thought I'd have to buy a new pair, then I realized there was a 2-year warrenty--worth a try, I thought. Sent in the earphones (with my receipt) and within 2 weeks, Shure sent an entirely new set of earphones--the SCL2. No games, no need to send in boxtops.

Amazing service. I highly doubt I'll ever go with any of the look-a-likes that are starting to pop up--especially with the great customer service Shure provides to back up a stellar product.

"The product is great - and when it's not, the company is", So I'm a brand new owner of the SCL2, but a past owner of the E2c - and let me tell you how that unfolded.
It began 6 months ago, after an exhaustive Amazon/internet comparison of in-the-ear plugs left me feeling that Shure E2c's were a safe bet.
So, I bought them, tossed them in my ear, discovered that my right ear requires a smaller foam plug while my left ear is less finicky and allows a larger rubber plug.
As far as sound quality, I loved them! It was night and day after using the ipod earphones. Once you get that seal, the rest of the world (even on New York subways) basically goes away and I loved their quality - Nine Inch Nails never sounded so good.
However, after 3 months, the right plug suddenly dropped to about 10% of the previous output. So I quickly played around to verify that yes, it was the earphones. I emailed Shure's customer service and the response was simply to send them in. So I did.
In 2 weeks I think, I received a brand new set of E2c's. Very simple, no problem from the company. And they were great. After 2 weeks of the original ipod earphones, I was VERY happy to get my Shures back.
Enter a week ago. My Shures and I were bouncing along, happy as clams (the type that make really good New England Clam Chowder) and suddenly the left - 10% output. I verified that yes, it was the earphone again. I searched gmail, found the previous email, and sent them back to the same address. Today in the mail, I received a brand-new pair of the Shure SCL2s.
I have yet to try them out, but I'm very excited to once again stop listening to the subway sounds and hear the bass again (goodbye ipod earphones). The product has been wonderful - and when it hasn't been, the company has. So in the end, I (and my differently structured ear canals) fully endorse this product.

"Best I've used and they back up their products", I had a pair of E2Cs for about a year. They were the best earphones I've ever used. Unfortunately they developed a problem with the wire, so Shure sent me a new pair for free. That 2 year warranty is very good.
Now these SCL2's seem the same except for the wire seems less brittle and a bit stickier.
I too have found that the best end for these is the black rubber. Try them until you find a good fit and get them inside your ear canal. The sound is excellent! Well worth the money.


"It's all about the fit", When I first tried out these earphones, there was no low end at all...they sounded worse than the stock iPod ear buds. Then I switched from the clear PVC sleeves to the soft black rubber. What a difference. The sound had a nice full range and is very warm. The rubber sleeves fit so well that when removing them I had to break the air tight seal first (be careful of that - pull them out nice and easy). Once sealed in your ears, these earphones block out most ambient noise, which allows you to listen to music at a much lower volume.

These are definitely the best earphones I have used. The big over the ear headphones can sound better, but if you want an small earphone, these sound pretty good.
