Sound Isolating Technology
The E3g'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.
Speaker Type: WideBand MicroDrivers
The E3g's speakers are constructed with studio-grade components to produce exceptional audio clarity, delivering detailed highs and enhanced bass that allows you to hear parts of your music you've never heard before.
Personal Fit Kit
Because every ear is different, E3g Earphones come with a pair of disposable Foam Sleeves, three pairs (small, medium, large) of Flex Sleeves, and three pairs of Soft Flex Sleeves (small, medium, large) to ensure the ideal personalized fit.
Secure In Ear Design
The soft, flexible sleeves in the Fit Kit gently contour to the inside of your ear to create a comfortable, secure fit, so that the earphones don't fall out while exercising. The E3g's are also compatible with custom-molded sleeves, made by a hearing specialist, for the ultimate in fit and comfort.
Lightweight Construction
Weighing only 0.9 oz (28g), the E3g is among the lightest earphones on the market.
Earphones Carrying Case
The E3g comes with a stylish, compact carrying case. The cable spool inside provides a convenient, tangle-free way to store your earphones.
Two-Year Limited Warranty
Every E3g purchased comes with a two-year limited warranty on materials and workmanship. (See warranty information)

"The makers of Shure have basically upped the ante within the market of headphones and sound gear...after I customized them to my ear canal, I heard nothing else at all. Not even the screaming neighbor's kids."

"Shure sent over their entry level E2c (nice sound, $99), the E3c ($179), and E5c ($499, possibly the most neutral-sounding headphones I've ever listened to, as well they should be for the price) …My favorite is the E3c, which comes close to matching the E5c's sound without the slightly larger dual-driver enclosure (yes, the E5c actually has separate itty bitty bass and treble drivers crammed in there somehow). For my ears, the E3c's are more comfortable, and I've worn them while mowing the lawn, on international flights, at my desk, in the NY subway system."

"And unlike noise-canceling headphones that add frequencies to neutralize background noise, the E Series uses a 'Fit Kit' -- soft, flexible pleasure nubs that conform to your inner ear -- to block out external noise and allow you to hear more detail at lower volumes. And, ooh, what detail you'll hear. Solid, gut-punching bass and crisp, ear-piercing highs, even in the lower-end unit. Yes, they're expensive, but think of all the money you saved with Kazaa!"
