"Helpful review" on by aleggin1515
Pros: great/good sound, good case, stay on comfortably, compact
Cons: Bass is present but not that loud, the plastic sleeves SUCK but the foams are great
Summary: These headphones have great and clear sound but like most earbuds lack bass(although these have very good bass compared to most earbuds) THe plastic sleeves are uncomfortable and crapppy but the foams are great(but they were out) Overall I was not disapointed but not thrilled with these partly cause my Sony MDR-EX71SL/WK's were pretty much as good and a little bassier. So buy those instead of these and save some money cause the extra $50 dosent improve anything much

"Worst headphones ever." on by tonyram57
Pros: None. I can't think of any.
Cons: Everything.
Summary: These are got to be the worst headphones that I have ever wasted my money on. First they sound terrible. The cheap earbud headphones that came with my myfi and ipod sound much better. These E2c's have no bass at all. Then they are a pain to fit. When I want to put headphones on I just want to be able to put them on and use them. When you force these things in your ears they don't even stay in. They keep falling out. They also hurt your ears. These are got to be the most uncomfortable headphones ever. Your ears ache from the pain of forcing these overpriced headphones in your ears. I tried all of the connectors and even the smallest ones barily fit and hurt in my ears and they keep falling out too. When forced in your ears they do block out the sound somewhat but with them hurting and keep falling out they are useless. I am stuck with them and wasted $68 because where I bought them I can't return them. I would have been better buying either those koss or sony headphones for half the price. I bet those sound much better and are not unconfortable to wear.

The biggest problem I had was the comfort and the hard plastic ones not staying in the ears. I have small ears and even the small ones will keep comming out. The phome ones are more comfortable and sometimes used them however they can get very dirty and are dissposable. The hard plasic ones are terrible and after using them and then losing one of them I went to the Shure website and ordered the soft plasitc small size black ones for the E2c and what a difference those make. They are easier to put in your ears and they stay in, block the outside noise and don't hurt my ears.
So if you are going to get the E2c's, don't use the hard plasic and order the soft black plastic ones. They make a big difference.
