Amazon.com Product Description
Shure's E2c in-ear headphones are tiny, lightweight, and designed to sonically outperform most ear-bud-style headphones. The E2c's unique, relatively affordable design comes from Shure's years of collaborating with professional musicians. With high-energy drivers in distinctive enclosures, the E2c produces high-quality sound with excellent isolation from background noise.

The E2c's speakers are constructed with studio-grade components, producing exceptional audio clarity. Their in-ear design, using supplied flex sleeves, naturally blocks background noise. This permits lower listening volumes in loud environments--critical in safeguarding your hearing during performance or other activities. No batteries or extra equipment are needed for sound isolation.

Because every ear is different, E2c earphones come with 3 pairs (small, medium, large) of flex sleeves and 3 pairs (small, medium, large) ultra-soft flex sleeves to ensure a personalized fit. These disposable foam sleeves gently compress to fit in the ear canal. Once in the ear, the foam expands to form a tight seal. Once tightly sealed, the sleeves hold the earphones firmly in place.

The E2c's cables pass behind the ear--out of sight and out of the way for comfort and discretion. Weighing only 1 ounce, the E2c is lightweight and comfortable enough for any portable listening application. The set comes with a soft, stylish, compact, and zippered carrying case, which allows for an easy, tangle-free way to store your earphones.

What's in the Box
Earphones, 2 triple-flange sleeves, 3 pairs (small, medium, large) of flex sleeves, and 3 pairs (small, medium, large) ultra-soft flex sleeves (kit 90XC1371, with cleaning tool), a soft carry case (80B8232), a user's manual, and warranty information.

Excellent Product5
I bought these for my 15 hour plane ride to Korea. I had them in for the entire plane ride. Make sure you pick the right size earbuds. They elminenated the sound of the airplane and all of the sound inside of the aircrft. Sound quality is awsome. If you are looking for afordable noise cancelling earphones, these are your best bet. Also they are very compact, so you don't have to carry around a big set of headphones. And alot cheaper than some other manufactures. Well worth the purchase.

for around $100 these are the best I could find4
I was looking to replace my shure e2c headphones as they broke. I wanted the exact same thing. Well....they don't make them anymore. Anyway, I ordered the Shure SE110 from another online store. Figuring they were about $100, I thought I was essentially getting the same thing as my old ones. I was wrong....those are horrible FYI. So, I sent to Amazon and found the E2C. It was a dealer and not Amazon. Anyway, after I purchased them, the dealer sent me a letter saying I am sending you the updated version of the E2C. I was immediately irritated thinking I was going to get the same piece of cr_p that I just returned. He emailed me back and told they were not the SE110 and they really were the replacement of the E2C. He was right. Exactly what I wanted. Delivered in a timely fashion.

Good sound, but not if the cable is cracking1
It took awhile until I could wear these without them hurting my ears. I tried every earbud that was in the packet and still couldn't find one that was comfortable. Also they seem to not want to stay in my ear. Would be fine if I was sitting on the bus not moving. However once I started to wear them at the gym, or walking down the street, they would slowly slide out of my ear and I would constantly have to readjust them. None of the sleeves seemed to work or be comfortable. Then shortly after having them for about 3 months, I noticed cracks in the cable near the area it bends over the ear. This happened on both left and right side. I eventually went back to the standard ones that came with my iPod since they were more comfortable. I talked to my partner who had bought them for me. He said he was having the same issues and that he stopped using them as well because one side had completely broke off! I could expect this happening from a 1 year old pair at the very earliest, but after only 2 months! Thanks for ripping us off Shure!
