Shure E2c Sound Isolating Earphones Review by Shannon

My Overall Rating:

Available on Amazon for $69 here.

The Shure E2c Sound Isolating Earphones are small, lightweight, and designed to sonically outperform most ear-bud style headphones. The E2c’s unique, affordable design comes from Shure’s years of consulting with professional musicians. With high-energy drivers in distinctive enclosures, the E2c produces high-quality sound with excellent isolation from background noise.

The Shure E2c’s speakers are built with studio-high grade components, producing exceptional audio clarity. Their in-ear design, using supplied flex sleeves, naturally blocks out background noise. This allows you to listen to your music at lower volume levels in loud environments–which is crucial in protecting your hearing during performance or other activities. You don’t need batteries or any additional equipment for sound isolation.

Because everyone’s ears are different, the The Shure E2c Sound Isolating Earphones comes with 3 pairs (small, medium, large) of flex sleeves and 3 pairs (small, medium, large) ultra-soft flex sleeves to make sure that you get a personalized fit. These disposable foam sleeves gently compress to fit inside your ear canal. Once inside your ear, the foam expands to form a tight seal. Once tightly sealed, the sleeves will hold the earphones firmly in place.

The Shure E2c Sound Isolating Earphones cables go behind the ear, out of sight and out of the way for comfort and discretion. These earphones weigh only 1 ounce, the E2c is very lightweight and comfortable enough to listen to on the go. The set comes with a soft, stylish, compact, and zippered carrying case, which allows for an easy, tangle-free way to store your earphones.

What’s inside the box:
Earphones, 2 triple-flange sleeves, 3 pairs (small, medium, large) of flex sleeves, and 3 pairs (small, medium, large) ultra-soft flex sleeves (kit 90XC1371, with cleaning tool), a soft carry case (80B8232), a user’s manual, and warranty information.

Review By Ron C.

Like many people, I was tempted by the good reviews but reluctant to pay so much for a pair of tiny earphones. Finally, almost 2 years ago, I bought a pair.

Like all of the other reviews here state, the Shure E2c’s sound GREAT. They are very balanced, and let you hear the subtle details of your music, making the music almost come alive in your head. They turn your MP3 player or Discman into an audiophile-quality stereo system.
