"SHURE E2 IN EARS - GREAT VALUE!"

Feature:
Features are more than adequate for in-ears in this price range. Comes with a variety of earpiece fittings, very comfortable to wear.

Quality:
I have been using them for about 6 months, with no quality issues. They still work fine, no cable issues or earbud issues.

Value:
Great value for the money. I used other earbuds that were either too cheap, stuck out too far, sounded poor, etc. I have also seen others that cost a lot more money. These give a good sound, good fit, good value for the money. Great entry to mid level product. I'll never go back to floor monitors!

Desirability:
The price grabbed me right away. I was looking at $200 to $500 solutions, this one works great for about $99. CAN'T BEAT IT! Did I mention that I'll never go back to floor monitors again?

Sound:
Very good sound. Perhaps a bit week on the very low end, but I primarily use it to hear electric/acoustic guitars, piano and vocals and the sound is very good. I went from using floor monitors to using these in ears and I'll NEVER go back. It sounds like a live concert in my ears - awesome!

Support:
I have not needed any support, so I don't know.

Overall:
Very satisfied - in fact, I'm about to order another one for our acoustic guitar player.

Shure E2 Mini Stereo Earphones
The E2 features a high energy driver in a distinctive comet-shaped enclosure that creates fuller, richer sound than any earbud is capable of producing. The insightful mechanical design of the E2 is a result of Shure's years of experience with working musicians, resulting in an affordable in-ear earphone that provides excellent isolation from background noise.

Welcome to the world of Shure earphones, where the same technology used by your favorite musicians onstage is now made available to you. Professionally crafted to provide a secure fit and superior sound isolation, Shure's E Series In Ear earphones are designed for the world's most discriminating listeners - attuned to the subtle details essential to real audio artistry, onstage and off. The E Series brings the portable listening experience to a higher level.

Features:
High-performance dynamic speakers: High-performance driver for powerful sound output in a small-format design

Distinctive comet shape: Optimizes the acoustic environment around the driver for the best possible sound

Fit Kit: Because every ear is different, Shure provides 3 pairs (S, M, L) of disposable foam sleeves and three pairs (S, M, L) of re-useable flex sleeves to ensure a personalized fit

Sound isolating design: Natural noise attenuation provided by sleeves permits lower listening volumes in loud environments

Secure, in-ear design: Lighter than most headphones and ideal for portable listening applications

Low-profile cable path: Cables are designed to pass over and behind the ear - out of sight and out of the way

62-in. (1.57 m) cable: Copper cable with flexible reinforcements at the earphone and the jack

Cable adjustment tube: Clear plastic tube secures the cables comfortably behind your head

Zip case with cable spool: Stylish, compact zippered case provides a safe, tangle-free way to store your earphones

Gold-plated stereo mini-jack: Provides exceptional corrosion resistance, high conductivity and low noise

Why In-Ear Technology
In-ear earphones provide sound quality far beyond the technical ability of even the most expensive earbuds, and provide isolation that's superior to even the best headphones. By creating an exact fit between the sound source and your ear canal, unwanted sounds are blocked out while the music comes straight in.

What Are In-Ear Earphones
In-ear earphones are a special type of 'isolating' earphone, originally developed to allow musicians to hear their own performance in loud onstage environments. In-ear earphones work by using soft, pliable sleeves to seal out background noise, allowing small, high-performance drivers (speakers) to deliver incredibly precise sound directly to the ear. Shure now makes these professional-quality earphones available for use with portable audio or video devices such as CD, MP3 and DVD players.

How Are In-Ear Earphones Different from Other Headphones
The primary difference is their listening position - where they are worn in relation to your ear. Headphones generally enclose your ear or rest on top of it. Regular earphones (like the earbuds often packaged with CD players) sit on the outside of the ear. In-ear earphones are different. They are designed to fit inside your ear canal, where they create the isolated listening area responsible for their unique acoustic properties.

How Do In-Ear Earphones Work
By selecting from an assortment of soft, flexible sleeves, you're able to personalize the fit of the in-ear earphones to your ears. The sleeves conform to the unique shape of your ear, creating a space inside your ear that is isolated from the noise around you.

Why is Isolation Important
In-ear isolation makes it possible to hear greater detail at a lower volume than is possible with earbuds or most headphones intended for portable use. Lower-volume listening means less fatigue over extended periods, and is safer than trying to overcome background noise by turning up the volume. This makes isolating in-ear earphones the ideal choice for commuting, travel, exercise, study, or work - any activity where you desire portable, hi-fidelity sound.

Is Isolation Different from Noise Cancellation
The isolating seal created by an in-ear earphone physically blocks most frequencies of background noise and is a simple, natural form of noise attenuation. Active noise cancellation 'headphones' are generally larger, heavier and battery-driven. The active cancellation process negates selected frequencies through a complex process that can even introduce unwanted artifacts into the resulting audio. The natural noise attenuation properties of a properly fitted in-ear earphone can rival or exceed the performance of even the most expensive active noise cancellation alternatives.
