Product Description
In sleek black, to go with some of today's newest MP3 and other audio players. The cutting-edge industrial design of the E4c is a breakthrough in sound isolating earphone technology. Ideal for the business traveler and on-the-go audiophile, the High-Definition Driver with Tuned Port Technology delivers brilliant highs and extended bass that enhance your listening experience with your portable MP3, DVD, and CD players as well as all other audio sources. The E4c's in ear design works like an earplug to block background noise naturally. This enables you to listen comfortably at lower volumes-even in loud environments. And unlike bulky headphones utilizing active noise cancellation technology, no artifacts are introduced into your listening experience. Sound isolating earphones are also much smaller and don't require batteries. E4c Sound Isolating Earphones feature High-Definition drivers with Tuned Port Technology for incredible audio reproduction. As the ideal companion to any portable or home audio source, the E4c's Tuned Port design improves airflow around the driver to deliver professional-grade sound with extended bass response. The E4c comes with a stylish, compact carrying case, providing a convenient, tangle-free way to store your earphones. Also included is a level attenuator, to control volume level for comfortable listening from any high-output audio source, such as airplane armrests.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive, but worth it., August 16, 2006

First, I'm not an audiophile. And my tastes in music are limited to hip hop, jazz and R&B. That being said, I think these earphones are well-suited for listeners looking for an above-average experience.

Cons:

1. These earphones aren't suited for use on the treadmill or any other activity that requires you to be in motion. They must be seated fairly deeply in your ear canal to take advantage of the sound. And motion tends to yank them out.
2. They're kinda expensive. But if high quality sound is important to you, this won't matter too much

Pros:
1. Deeper, fuller bass. The difference between these and the E3c's (which I bought and returned) is pronounced. But the bass isn't so heavy that the lowest range overshadow the higher frequencies with the sloppy, boomy sound that you hear from cars that blast hip hop music. Hip Hop fons and dissatisfied E3c owners will really appreciate this, and should spend the extra cash for the E4c model...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Shure E4 vs. Bose QC2, December 8, 2006
This review is from: Shure E4c-n Sound Isolating Earphones (Black) (Electronics)
Shure E4 vs. Bose QC2

After reading many reviews about E4 vs. QC2 I bought the E4. A friend at my office had the QC2 so I borrowed them so I could write this review. I only used the QC2 for about 15 minutes but I think I found out what I need to know.

The first and foremost item that should make you choose between the two is whether or not you can stand to have earplugs in your ears. I sleep with them almost every night so I'm VERY used to them and as such was not worried about this. Before you buy the E4's (or any in ear type) go buy some soft foam ear plugs and use them for a few weeks. If you are ok with this then you will love the Shures. If not, you will hate them. The QC2's have gel soft ear pads and the insides are actually scooped out to accommodate the shape of your ear. They are very comfortable, but for me in ear models won out for these reasons. My office mate who let me borrow the QC2s for comparison said they hurt his ears after a couple...Read more

Before I start I feel I should mention that, while i don't consider myself an audiophile, I am a professional recording/mixing engineer. I take audio fidelity pretty seriously, but I'm not critical to a ridiculous extent.

I use these IEMs playing live with my band through an Aviom monitor mixer. The aviom samples everything down to 16-bit so i've never really gotten a chance to hear them at their best until today.

In the green room i hooked them up to my iPod between shows, and I was blown away. The sensitivity was amazing; i heard minute details that get lost on other systems. Anyone worried about bass output (or ahem, "base", as some call it) need not worry. While its not gonna thump (not many microdrivers do), its got tight and controlled bass to very low registers. My only complaint is that the midrange seemed slightly veiled to me...but the ipod isn't really known for its stunning audio fidelity, so it might not be the earpieces. The upper range...Read more
