Shure E2c Sound Isolating Earphones
Shure E2c Sound Isolating Earphones
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.

User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars In one Ear…
I read about these guys on either ilounge or CNET and went for it. They are pretty solid…good bass if you are concerened about that…nice high…a bit rough in the middle ranges. Great for the money. I hear Klipsch has a new set of cans that are better than these and I may spring for those too. No bells and whistles here…just meat and potatoes…but meat and potatoes that are dependable and workhorse.
1 Star Expected a more durable product
At this price point I expected a durable ,well engineered product. within a month of use I started noticing small cracks in the wires near the earpieces .I figured it would be OK,they’re thick wires. It’s not OK ,they broke after 2 yrs. of lite use.I read thru some reviews, there seems to be a lot of consumers reporting same issue. Shure offers a repair service, but I can buy a better set of in-ear buds for substantially less than the repair will cost…. the Altec Lansing UHP336 Snugfit In-ear Earphone (which have user replaceable cords)
3 Stars Continuous problems, only lasted 6 months
Not too much to say. The earbuds just didn’t hold up for long, making the price not worth it. They’re a very high-maintenance item, and the sound quality wasn’t as good as I was led to believe, anyway. I’m going back to using budget-priced earbuds for casual on-the-go listening.
5 Stars Wonderful Earpieces!
Got here fast.
Sound quality is amazing, on all ends (high, low, in between).
Ear fit is perfect, plus includes plenty of sleeves to match anyone’s ear of preference.
Cord is tough, connections are high quality, gold plated.
Packaging is innovative and has great design.
Effectively blocks out 90% of outside noise, making audio experience MUCH better.
I couldn’t be more pleased with these earphones, buy them!
As I listened to them in the car with 6 other people, I saw them talking but couldn’t hear a word. The only thing other than my crystal-clear, perfect sounding music that I heard was the low hum of the car between songs. They were literally laughing and conversing, playing music, and it didn’t bother me at all. Listening to Coldplay at a high bitrate on these phones is absolutely amazing, you REALLY DO hear things in songs you never heard before with lesser-quality earphones. These are perfect for the low-budget audiophile, and any listener who appreciates sound quality,like me.
BUY THEM!
5 Stars good product, first pair ran over by car.
The good thing about these headphones, is as a runner, most headphones fall out when running, these stay and the noise cancelling is excellent.
