Shure SE110 Sound Isolating Earphone with Balanced Armiture Driver, White

I have had a pair of Shure E2C earphones for nearly three years and I absolutely love them: perfect fit, great sound. I finally had to look for another set because the wire jacket began to crack and got progressively worse to the point where the wire is now fully exposed and starting to unravel. Since they are past their warranty, Shure wanted $60 plus shipping to repair them, so I decided to look around and try one of their newer models. I found these SE110's for $49.95 on clearance (regular $119.99, I paid $99 for the E2C's), so I figured I couldn't go wrong. I was mistaken. While the sound quality is better than you will find on any other $50 earphones, it is definitely not worth $120, and not nearly as good as the E2C's; and the design has changed for the worse also. My E2C's fit perfectly and comfortably in my ears using the medium size Flex sleeves, forming a great sound-isolating seal. The SE110's have a slightly different shape, and I have tried all of the included Flex and...Read more

A friend of mine who is an electrical engineer recommended these headphones based on their frequency response. I bought the Bose in ear headphones thinking that they sounded good. These are replacing the Bose headphones because they did not feel that secure while in, and the highs were a bit muffled.

The Shure SE110 fits in the ear very secure and does an excellent job of cutting out the ambient noises in whatever atmosphere you're in. I use the Shure headphones while working out and they do not fall out while doing any cardio or strength training. The sound quality is superb and very rich for in ear headphones.

They come with a carrying case, 3 different size grey rubber inserts, and 3 black foam inserts. This ensures that you will find a size that fits your ear correctly and comfortably. The better they fit in your ear, the better the audio quality is. For example, if you use an insert that is too small for your ear; the bass is very weak. I...Read more

I've been using these headphones for about 2 months now and I am really happy with them. They sound great - (I listen to mostly Pop/Rock). I use the foam ear pieces which are really comfortable and block out most of the ambient noise. The headphones come with high quality audio cables which are thick enough to not get tangle when you throw your mp3 player in your bag. I wish the extension cable that came with it is a bit shorter so I don't have an extra foot of cable to deal with. The headphone cable is too short to use without the extension. The carrying case is a nice touch, but I never use it.
