Strengths: Blocks sound by plugging ear and doesn't have active noise canceling which generates white noise and I find annoying.
I can hear stuff in music now that I didn't even know was there.
Weaknesses: I have my iPod on the lowest volume setting possible in the office and its a little loud. Seriously, the volume meter is only 1 pixel wide.
Summary: They should include another volume control inline with the wire since no portable music players aren't designed to used with headphones which plug your ear.
Besides that serious flaw it is a great headphone...sound is awesome. Makes a huge difference. I can't even hear myself typing this review. You don't need active noise canceling which degrades the sound.

Strengths: Great sound
Weaknesses: none
Summary: These are the best sounding earbuds I've ever used. Makes me wonder how the next step up sounds. Of course, they're twice the price and outta my range. Then again, I never thought I'd pay close to a hundred bucks for earbuds in the first place.

Strengths: Sound quality, accessories, quality, look, sound isolation
Weaknesses: takes a bit getting use to putting them in your ears right.
Summary: I'm happy with my Shure E2C purchase. They feel well made and what with their great sound quality, it feels like a good purchase. I really enjoy the sound isolation. Keeps the many loud sounds that I encounter and don't want out of my ears so I can enjoy the Dawn and Drew show or some nice tunes. The nice round headphone case is nicely made too and useful. For my money and needs these feel like a nice product of merit that I happily support with my dollar votes. Recommended.

Strengths: lots of accessories,cool looking and sound isolation
Weaknesses: the wire is a bit shorter then I expected, and the wax guard thing, took me hours to figure out.
Summary: Overall this is my best earphone ever. I did have a tough time at beginning to get the proper fit. Fit was awesome and ALL sound was blocked out. The Bass is awesome and the sound is awesome too.

Strengths: Great Sound | No Background Noise | Comes with Case | Only $58.30 (Sorry Circuit City Employees Only)
Weaknesses: Wired feeling, when being inserted in the ear canal
Summary: 2006-08-11 23:05:00 Overall I am very happy with my purchase. These are the best sounding headphones I ever had; best part is now I cant here my sister screaming at me. They feel a bit awkward, but they are built high quality not like the Sony ones I hear about. I have no problems with the bass at all, unlike some others say. I am using it on the iPod Video and it is great; Stylishness.

Strengths: Great Sound Quality, Lots of Fitting Options, Good Outside Sound Isolation
Weaknesses: None
Summary: I recently took these earphones to the otherside of the world from Philadelphia to China. I used them primarily on the airplane and was extremely pleased. The earphones came packaged with a fit kit that included many different options for getting the perfect fit for your ears. It takes a few minutes to get used to the way these earphones feel, but after that, they are quite comfortable. I like the way the cord for each bud wraps around the top of your ear; that keeps the earphones secure even if you tug on the cords. The noise isolation made a huge difference on the airplane, and really helped me relax without the drone of the engines or the noise of other people talking. With music going, I couldn't even hear the flight attendants ask me if I'd like a drink. I am not too much of an audiophile, but the sound quality from these earphones is great (after reading other reviews, that's the main reason I purchased them). Overall, I am very pleased, and these earphones are well worth the price.

Strengths: Very nice isolate earphones, it comes with some accesories fit with the ears. I like the design and the color of this earphones.
Weaknesses: Cable
Summary: I like this e2c shure earphones with quality control. It really feels like there is no sound surrounded. It also will fit to our ears because it has a small rubber on the end of the earphones. It is well constructed earphones that I have ever used.

Strengths: Excellent sound, built like a tank, reasonably priced, good fit customization options.
Weaknesses: Built like a tank (heavy and large), no built-in sound tube screen.
Summary: I vacillated quite a while on whether to purchase these earphones due to their cost compared to similarly featured competitors. Fortunately, the E2c earphones have excellent sound and good construction, which fit my needs just fine. I did not find them as difficult to install as many are reporting, though I did sample the various plug sizes in the fit kit just to be sure I wasn't overlooking something. The heavier weight of the earphones (including cord) was a surprise. These things should last forever. The downside is that they feel a bit heavier on the ear and interfere somewhat with my eye-glasses compared to my old earphones. One feature that is missing (in my view) is a mesh screen covering for the sound tubes such as Sennheiser uses. Shure includes goofy little stickers instead, which seem cheapy at best, and at worst could fall inside your ear if they came loose. Talk about an after-thought... I'm no audiophile, but these earphones produce a what I would call a very accurate sound, full of presence. It really seems as though the musicans are right in the room playing and singing; I enjoy that aspect of the Shures and so am pleased with my purchase overall.

Strengths: Very light, the design is very sharp. The cables are long, perfect for working out. Once you snug it in your ear, the sound quality is so good that you'll forget that you are wearing this pair.
Weaknesses: None. Easy to use.
Summary: The sound quality is very good. Strong bass. They fit perfectly in your ear, not too tight, just right. Tried different kinds of music, from psy to classic, and its outstanding.

Strengths: The quality of sound is great. Good base and it doesn't crack when the volume is high. Nice carry case.
Weaknesses: Have to try on all the ear pieces for in order to get a best sound.
Summary: 2006-08-26 14:22:13 It's almost as good as sennheiser HD590 headphone I have. I was hesitate at first but it's worth every penny of it after I listen to it. The best earphone I have listen to it by far. It is surprisingly comfortable.

Strengths: Excellent frequency distinction. Clear and crisp high frequency response. Definitely awesome for medium to high frequencies. These are also great at blocking out unwanted noise, even if it is passive.
Weaknesses: Low frequencies are not as defined. You have to stick these quite deep into your ear in order to get the bass to sound even remotely deep.
Summary: Generally these are pretty darn good earphones. A very well defined med-high frequencies reproduction, however the bass is significantly lacking. Do not expect these to pump out hip-hop very well, these are definitely meant for the more refined taste of jazz or classical music. The earphones are awesome at blocking out unwanted noise, and even though it is passive. It fills your ear canals and blocks out ambient noise like a champ.
I feel these earphones are definitely good if you can get them cheaper than their retail price.

Strengths: Great quality
Weaknesses: A little expensive!!
Summary: There are some inconsistent reviews on the sound quality of these earphones, basically it comes down to how you like to listen to your music. If you like to press "bass Xpand" button on your stereo for that booming sound ,you may be dissapointed with the "flat" sound coming out of these earphones. Those of you who keep that "direct" button on on your amps will love the clean ,detailed sound of E2c.Remember that most music is in the midrange frequency.Listening to dance/trance or hip hop, I sometimes wish for deeper bass. But true bass is difficult to reproduce in small earphones. The illusion of deep bass in some cheap earphones is just that...an illusion. As for the fit and comfort I have no complaints. If youre not sure whether you'll like insert phones, get yourself a pair of foam ear plugs and try to wear them for a while. That will give you an indication of how you're going to tolerate them. The only discomfort comes from the wraped cords around my ears after few hours of listening.
The quality is excellent,the cord is long and the case is nice. These will outlast a cheap pair many times over.Recommended.

Strengths: great earphones for iPod
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2006-09-25 17:42:53 The Shure e2's have it all. They are the first pair I've owned that stay in position in my ear even when I'm cycling or working out. The sound quality is amazing. I am an avid CD collector. Recently, I finally capitulated and got an MP3 player. In the past, I listened to CD's on my portable player and the sound was great. When I switched to MP3's, I didn't really notice too much difference. With the e2's, the difference is obvious. I can hear the dynamic range so well that I can tell that there are frequencies missing. It's still better than not being able to tell.
