Shure e2c's

[aznballer2k4]

hey i jus got these in a trade, how do these compare to the shure e3c's which i am more used to? the things i liked about the e3c's were the comport, noise cancelation, and the clarity of the sound, some things i wasnt too fond of was the lack of bass at times, so should i keep these or sell them and buy a different pair of earphones which better suit my needs?

Just one point I would like to clear up, noise cancelation is an active technology that samples the noise in the environment and puts its reverse out in your headphones.

Shures do have this, they are, however, isolating.

Pedantic, I know, but what you can do?

Well, you didn't tell us what your needs are, so how can we tell what suits your needs and what doesn't?

If bass is your only concern, then the E2c is better than the E3c in that respect, but you'll lose out on everything else.

Both the E2c's and E3c's are noise ISOLATING, not noise cancelling (as mnhnhyouh mentioned).

The E2Cs are very uncomfortable, too. If you want better bass, go for the Panasonic HJE70.

I find them *very* comfortable. I go to sleep with them in my ears nearly every night, and spend many hours per day with them in.

My E2c's with the OEM clear silicone sleeves were ear canal killers. However, I ordered E2c-specific soft flex sleeves from Shure and they're much, much better.

Regardless, I use my E4c's much more than the E2's. :)

What is comfortable for one person isn't for another. The only way you're going to decide if they're comfortable or not is to try them yourself.

If you actually have the E2c's why haven't you just listened to them yourself and decided if you like the fit and the sound?

i dont actually have them i traded for them and they are on their way, for those who dislike the e2c's wat are some worthy alternatives

If they're on the way to you, then just wait until you receive them, try them out, and decide for yourself if you like the fit and the sound. If you do, great. If not, then ask for suggestions on what you should get. Problem solved.

I found the E2Cs uncomfortable because of the size of the earpieces (or drivers--whichever). I was told after purchasing that the E2Cs are indeed a bit larger than the E3Cs and E4Cs, so if your ears are smaller than normal, they may hurt--as they did mine.

I purchased the E4Cs and they worked much better for me. However, I found the Westone UM1s to be the most comfortable with all around greatest sound (bass/treble).

Hope this helps.
