| User Reviews |  | At first I didn't get it.

I've never used this type of earphone before. My first impression, after fiddling with the fit, was that they were terrible...no bass at all. I even wrote a review that said my iphone earbuds sounded better.
I've reconsidered this position after using them all day. I think the reason the reviews all say such polar opposite things (either they sound "amazing" or "terrible") is that there is a compromise that is made with regard to bass. It's subjective. My iphone ear buds do have more bass, but it's booming, and it tends to obscure the mid range almost completely. The highs do sneak through better than the mids, but they too are battling to come through the mush created by the booming bass.
It's a choice.
Do you want lots of bass, or do you want clear, full mids and highs? If I were using these headphones to listen to dance music while I did aerobics, I would go for booming bass, but if I'm listening to music that includes anything subtle, and I want to hear those subtleties, I would forego some bass.
I'm listening to Once in a Lifetime (Talking Heads) as I write this, and it sounds fantastic. The bass guitar and drums are clear and distinct. The guitar cuts right through. Ok, now Green Day, Wake Me up When September comes. The acoustic guitar is absolutely crystal clear. I can hear the ticks of the pick against the strings.
Added, next day:
Ok, this is embarrassing. I just found the eq on my iphone. Didn't realize it had one. So, uh, bumped the bass a little and it sounds fabulous. Plenty of bass.

Great sound, noise cancelling, nice Bass

Shure E2c Sound Isolating Earphones
I purchased these headphones about 18 months ago. So far, they are the best phones I have found. Good bass, cancels out noise better than the Bose "noise cancelling" and they have a pretty good fit. Two things I don't like as well. 1. Over the ear wires. In order to get a proper fit, you have to drape the wires over your ears and then back down. 2. Ear fit. Although Shure gives you multiple options for ear sizes, these don't fit just right for me unless I ram them into my ears.
Overall this is a GREAT set and I highly recommend them.

Had to return them
rating: 2
Not sure if this was a one off problem. I had to return them as the sound was really bad on my IPod Touch.

Good sound...very uncomfortable
rating: 3
I have owned the Shure e2c's for over a year now and I love the sound these headphones produce. I have heard details in music that I have never heard before although the only previous headphones I had owned could be bought at Target for about $20. The sound isolation is also something I had never experienced before and when the music is on, you really can't hear anything else around you. The main problems I have with these headphones are that they become extremely uncomfortable after longer periods of continuous wear. They would start hurting my ears after wearing them for about an hour. I have tried every single different plug for them and all of them start hurting after around an hour of listening. I have been forced to purchase another pair of headphones simply because I cannot wear them anymore. I don't know if my ears are just sensitive to in ear headphones or if these are exceptionally uncomfortable. Either way, I would recommend these for the sound but certainly not for the comfort.

Rip off

I bought these in January and last week my right side went out. What a rip off.
