    "This review is for those who want to buy the Shure E4c for their Ipod."

    by epreci on August 12, 2005

    Pros: Sound Quality is Great!

    Cons: Travel case is to small

    Summary: This review is for those who want to buy the Shure E4c for their Ipod.

    I?m sure you have already heard this from everyone else review but these are the best In the Ear Headphones I?ve ever owned. The reason I can say that is because I?ve owned or own: Grado 125, Shure E3c, and Sony Fontopia Ear-Bud headphones. Of course my Grados sound the best but have you ever tried using big container headphones at the GYM.

    If you already own a pair of the Shure E3c and you want to upgrade to the E4c you will be making a wise choice. I noticed when I would set my Ipod?s EQ settings to Base Booster or R&B the bass was good but everything else sounded muffled with my E3c. With the E4c the bass is good and the Mids and Highs are CLEAR as glass.

    Also?. If you encode your Ipod music less than 256 you might as well buy Radio Shacks $15 headphones because your not going to get the full potential of these headphones. By default Itunes is set to encode at 128, which is ok for most people but once you have tasted good sounding music you will never want to go back. Apple?s support web site will show you how to change the encoding.

    AND for those of you who think these are not worth $299.00?? YOU?RE RIGHT!
    Go to PlasmaBAY.com they have them for $189.00

    Apple or ipod are not the only websites or portables out there you know. In fact, there are better ones. Try allofmp3.com for example.
    The audio out quality on an ipod is generally sucky compared to most iriver portables.
