Digital camera reviews of Shure E2c-n Sound Isolating Earphones (Black)

Digital camera Review: A better sleeve for the Shure E2c ear phones.
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought these Shure E2c-n earphones to give me a lighter weight alternative to my beloved Bose QC2 noise cancelling headphones for flying the airlines. The noise on flights drives me nuts, and the Bose does a great job of shutting out the chaos while keeping great sound, but the headphone style units are fairly bulky to lug around.

I tried each pair of Shure ear bud sleeves to get the best sound, finally staying with medium foam sleeves. The foam seems to give me the best noise exclusion with the best bass response. But the foam on these is coarse and pretty firm, and after flights, I was grimacing when I had to take out the ear phones.

So I made my own foam sleeves! I keep some drug store neoprene foam ear plugs handy anyway for flights, and they are comfortable and quiet. So I cut a couple of these plugs in half. I sharpened the end of a 1/8" brass tube I had in the shop, squished the earplugs lengthwise, then tapped the sharpened tube with a hammer on the pancake shaped squished plugs to core the center. After the plugs re-expanded, I pulled them carefully onto the Shure ear phones, which was something like pulling an old wad of gum over the end of the earphones. Once the new sleeves re-expanded, I put the earphones into my ears very much like regular neoprene foam ear plugs.

With the new foam sleeves, I think I can see why Shure uses the harder foam, as the soft foam damps the midrange and highs a little bit. But with the EQ set to "acoustic" on my iPod for a little more midrange and high, the ear phones sound great, are very comfortable and way quiet. Nice!

Summary of Shure E2c-n Sound Isolating Earphones (Black)

In sleek black, to go with some of today's newest MP3 and other audio players. Originally developed for professional musicians, the E2c combines Dynamic MicroDriver speaker technology with a sound isolating design to deliver rich, full-range sound while blocking outside noise -- ideal for enhancing your listening experience with portable MP3, DVD, and CD players as well as all other audio sources. The E2c's in ear design works like an earplug to block background noise naturally. This enables you to listen comfortably at lower volumes -- even in loud environments. And unlike bulky headphones utilizing active noise cancellation technology, no artifacts are introduced into your listening experience. Sound isolating earphones are also much smaller and don't require batteries. The E2c's speakers are constructed with studio-grade components, producing outstanding audio clarity that allows you to hear your music like never before. The E2c's cables pass behind the ear - out of sight and out of the way -- to provide a more comfortable, discreet fit. Plus, the E2c comes with a stylish, compact carrying case. The cable spool inside provides a convenient, tangle-free way to store your earphones.
