Product Description
Originally developed for professional musicians, the E3c combines WideBand MicroDriver technology with a sound isolating design to deliver rich, detailed sound with improved high end while blocking outside noise - ideal for optimizing your listening experience with portable MP3, DVD, and CD players as well as all other audio sources.The E3c'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 E3c's speakers are constructed with studio-grade components to produce exceptional audio clarity, delivering detailed highs and enhanced bass that allows you to hear parts of your music you've never heard before.Because every ear is different, E3c Earphones come with a pair of disposable Foam Sleeves, three pairs (small, medium, large) of Flex Sleeves, and three pairs of Soft Flex Sleeves (small, medium, large) to ensure the ideal personalized fit.

 =D November 25, 2008
The product itself is wonderful. I couldn't ask for more out of my 100 bucks. I used the bose in-ear ones before but then they broke so I went and tried shure. they are AWESOME! The midtones are well balance and the bass is just right w/o tweaking the eq that much. As far as shipping goes, it took 10 days to get to me (east to west coast) so it was a little irritating that it took that long.
Excellent "Clear" Sound and Noise Cancelling ...but be patient. October 10, 2008

I started out thinking about getting the Bose ear buds. I didn't buy them because of the fact they don't seal off in your ear to block out other sounds. I found this set and did a lot of reading reviews and found this set to be the best value at around $110. For the money, the sound is excellent. Very clear sound that doesn't over-do treble or bass. If you want A LOT of bass, don't buy these, get one of the other cheaper sets that emphasize bass or step up to the full headphone (and more expensive) that Bose sells. The sound is very well balanced and clear. I've used these while in flight using the yellow foam ear pieces playing from my iPhone and they really shut out everything and sound clear. I couldn't use any of the other ear pieces because you really need a good seal to appreciate these headphones. I read some other reviews where people were talking about going through those yellow foam ear pieces but I've used mine now for a couple of months and I'm just now starting to get around to ordering some new ones. I just placed an order on replacements for 10 pieces for $20 on Amazon's website. I use these also while mowing the lawn and they do well for this too because they are so durable. The cables are thick and do not tangle up. Don't fool around waist your money with the cheap headphones that will eventually break and have cable problems and not sound as good. The only fuss I have about these is the time it takes getting the headphones into my ear and sealed off good. Also, they recommend wrapping the headset wire around over and behind the ear and this takes a little extra time too but the wires stay out of the way coming down your back. If you need to take these off and on alot, you're going to get frustrated with the yellow foam ear pieces. So, I would put them on when you plan on leaving them on for a while. I can't complain too much because this is going to be the case for any ear bud style headset and the extra time is well worth the sound quality.
Love 'em September 18, 2008
I was torn between these and the new SE210s. I used to own a pair of these and loved them. And that first pair was $200, and well worth it. Also owned a pair of e2-c's. Always preferred the sound and the feel of these over the e2-c. At present Amazon prices, the cost of these e3-cs are about the same as the old cost of the e2-c's, so the value is there.
When comparing these to the SE210s, I opted for these for two reasons:
1. These were familiar to me
2. The new SE210s have a short cord and an extension cord
The short cord is ideal if you place your mp3 player around your arm at the gym. I don't do that with my iPod classic, so I didn't want to deal with a second cord connection.
Also, it should be noted that these e3-c's are shipping under their new name, SCL3. I ordered these e3-c and received a SCL3. They are the same headphones. Reading message boards I've discovered that the SCL3s have one new set of foam earbuds that the e3-c's didn't, so rest assured if you buy some e3-c's and get an SLC3 instead.
Needs more bass August 19, 2008
Have had these buds for a couple ears now. The sound is very clear but lacks some bass. Had a chance to try out some e530's, which put these to shame (expected given the price differential).
I had to send back my original pair b/c of a fraying wire. Shure has some unbelievable customer service. They sent me a new pair immediately after receiving my old ones.
Great set of earphones July 9, 2008
These are my second set of Shure e3's. My first pair lasted over 2 years before I forgot them on an airplane :/
The fit in my ears is great. The sound-isolating properties are key to the performance. I am so very happy with this purchase. The earphones bring a smile to my face when I listen to my music through them.
