Shure E4c-n Sound Isolating Earphones (Black)
The E4C earphones feature a High-Definition driver with Tune Port technology for an ultra-wide frequency soundstage with brilliant highs and extended bass. As the ideal companion to any portable or home audio source, the E4C incorporates the same precision components used by professional musicians to bring incredibly accurate sound with remarkable isolation. The E3G'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 soft, flexible sleeves in the Fit Kit gently contour the inside of the ear for a comfortable, secure fit so that the earphones don't fall out while you're exercising. The cable spool inside provides a convenient, tangle-free way to store your earphones. Sensitivity (at 1kHz) - 109 dB SPL/mW Impedance (at 1kHz) - 29 Ohm Cable Length - 1.42m (56 inches) Input Connector - 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) gold-plated stereo plug Unit Weight - 31 gram (1.1 ounces)

If you're an audiophile like me, you will appreciate the incredible dynamic range that this set of headphones is capable of resolving. You will hear every minor detail in your music (which can be a bad thing if you have bad digital copies) in a crisp and warm tone. I am very happy I purchased these headphones and sincerely recommend them to anyone who wants to go 'a step further'. Enjoy.

In-ear head phones (Shure)

Shure E4c-n Sound Isolating Earphones (Black)
I love these headphones! They are extremely comfortable, secure (they don't fall out), and sturdy (the cables are thick enough to give me confidence that they aren't going to break anytime soon). The sound is also excellent. I have tried many headphones (in-ear)and none of them meet all of the criteria I have described here. Additionally, they are the best sound-proofing headphones that the market offers (in my opinion). They seemed a bit expensive when I ordered them, but after wearing them for a week, I believe that they are worth every penny!!!
Thank you Shure!!

Most amazing earphone's I've ever owned.
rating: 5
I recently purchased the Shure E4c-n Sound Isolating Earphones and just love them. I got these for work to block out noise. Our cubicle walls are so thin that you can hear every sound, and I have a very loud person on the other side. When I want a little quiet, I put one ear in - when I want total quiet I put both in. It totally cuts all all background noise. I did a lot of research before I got these. They are well worth the price, and are very comfortable. I would highly recommend these.

All that and a slice of cheese
rating: 5
I've owned a pair of Shure e2c earphones for the past few years. They have been faithful, constant companions on many long flights, airport delays, trips to the gym, and so on. I've used them a lot, so I wasn't disappointed when one of the wires eventually started to fray, and prompted me to look for a replacement. I was thinking of buying another pair of the same, but they are currently being discontinued. The replacement model, the Shure SE110, isn't getting good reviews. So I was looking at the next model in line when I noticed the rest of the s range was being sold off at big discounts. I bought the s4c - in the past $300+ seemed too much to pay for something I might leave on an airplane, or ruin at the beach. At just over half that price, and with the promise of better sound than the SE210 I'm willing to take the risk.
I'm really glad I bought the e4c. I'm also glad I owned a pair of e2c before I bought them. Straight out of the box, the 'default' sleeves look really good (they balance the rest of the earbud perfectly). But, they absolutely don't fit my ears. Being a bit impatient I tried them anyway - ouch! The sound was sibilant, and actually hurt if I turned the volume up too much. I think this is the experience many people have with this type of earphone, and perhaps Shure in particular. It takes a bit of patience finding a good fit. I'm almost there, using the silicone Xmas trees, but not quite. With a good fit these earphones sound really good. I mean REALLY good. I'm hearing things I've never heard in well played tracks - unfortunately, some of this is due to ripping the CD badly, or from my laptop's amp when there is no music playing.
Currently I'm listening to old school House - there is plenty bass. As many people have pointed out in other reviews, this is not as thumping as it might be in cheaper earphones. Instead its accurately reproduced bass that comes through strongly, but not so strongly it bludgeons the mid and high range into oblivion.
All in all. A really good upgrade from the e2c of old, and a bargain at the current price ($170 or so). Highly recommended.

Balanced sound using foam sleeves
rating: 3
The earphones I received were the SCL4's, which are said to be the same devices as the E4C's but with a different name. The earphones have a balanced sound including adequate bass, but only when there is a very good seal bewteen the sleeves and the ear canal. For me, that meant using the foam sleeves since the default "soft flex" sleeves produced bass that was inadequate. Users who don't want to take the trouble to use the foam or those who simply want more bass might consider the newer SE-310's, which are said to be based on the E4C's but with more bass.
