Digital Home Thoughts: Shure Introduces The E3C

In our discussion on headphones earlier in this thread as well as this one, a number of people said that they owned Sony headphones and earbuds. But I think it is fairly well known that Shure makes some fantastic headphones. "A little over a year ago, Shure introduced two consumer versions of their in-ear monitor, the $130 e2c and the $500 e5c, and now they’ve lowered the price of the e2c and introduced a new set of midrange headphones. The e3c has better sound and a new design with a little white on the ear beds to complement your iPod. While the e3c’s lack the twin-speaker design of the e5c’s, they offer nearly the same quality at one-third the price."


Some of the features of the e3c include a sound isolating design, high energy micro-speakers with extended frequency response, being lightweight at 0.9 oz (28g), a fit-kit for personalized comfort, and an earphones carrying case. Personally, I still find the price to be prohibitive, but if someone is looking for good quality and doesn't care as much about price, then Shure could be a good option.
