So I was courtside for the UW-Milwaukee vs. Illinois NCAA Sweet Sixteen game last night covering it for UWM. I was right next to the basket in front of the Illini Band...BLASTING AWAY. The filled to capacity crowd in their orange, and our section in it's black and gold roared at unbelievable volumes upon each basket made. After about 20 minutes, and noticeing that some of the other photogs had iPods on, I figured what better place to put my Shure E3c's to the test, and I was getting a headache anyway. I grabbed my 60GB iPod Photo and my Shure's, stuck em in and...nothing. I heard next to nothing. With the exception of some incredibly "blatty" trumpets, there was nothing but a low and almost unnoticeable rumble coming from the outside. I spent the second half listening to my iPod, and it wasn't even at 75% volume...I love these earphones!
P.S. Pearl and the gang will be back next year...GO PANTHERS!!!

Yeah shure freaking has great noise isolation, I see no use for noise cancelling technology right now.

You would want it if you're traveling on a subway for a bus, but again, u might miss your stop.

I fly a lot for work sometimes and the aircraft noise was killing me. Even though I don't like Bose, I went to try some of those quiet comfort noise cancelling headphones at a Bose store. They had them hard wired into a display and everything was so carefully controlled you couldn't tell how they*really* worked. Between the obnoxious Bose salesmen and the bulkiness of those phones--I nearly ran out of the store.
After buying my E3C's, I'm thrilled with the isolation on even the noisiest of planes. It amazing how the noise fatigues you on long flights, so it's like upgrading your seat to Shure class. :-)
