Sound Isolating Technology

 |
Sound isolating earphones were originally developed as Personal Monitor Systems to allow musicians to hear their own performances in loud onstage environments. Sound isolating earphones work by using soft, pliable sleeves to block background noise, allowing small, high-performance drivers to deliver incredibly precise sound directly to the ear.
Is isolation different from noise cancellation?
The seal created by a sound isolating earphone physically blocks most frequencies of background noise. 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 sound isolation properties of a properly fitted in ear earphone exceeds the performance of even the most expensive active noise cancellation alternatives.
How do in ear sound isolating earphones work?
By selecting from an assortment of included soft, flexible sleeves, you're able to personalize the fit of the earphones to your ears. The sleeves conform to the unique shape of your ear, creating a seal that isolates you from ambient noise.
Why is isolation important?
Sound 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 sound isolating earphones the ideal choice for commuting, travel, exercise, study, or work--any activity where you desire portable, hi-fidelity sound.

I also would like to say that I found these very uncomfortable, and I could only keep them in for very short periods of time. You are supposed to place the sleeve into your ear canal, and then turn them so that the hard plastic part wedges in your ear and holds them in place, which is actually a pretty good design until a few minutes later when you realize how uncomfortable they really are. I bought them last night and had them in for an hour or so and my ears were very sore when I took them out. They are still sore a day later.
When I was looking on amazon for a good pair of in ear phones I chose these because of all the high ratings. Hopefully this review will get through to someone on here and steer them away. I really wanted these to work, I like the look of them and Shure seems like a great company, but seriously I could not keep a pair of earphones that are this unpleasant to wear. I am now in the market for a nice pair of over the ear phones, they seem to be the most comfortable style, and to me comfort is a number one priority.
