Sound Isolating Technology
The E4g'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: High-Definition Drivers with Tuned Port Technology
E4g 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 E4g's Tuned Port design improves airflow around the driver to deliver professional-grade sound with extended bass response.
Personal Fit Kit
Because every ear is different, E4g Earphones come with a pair of disposable Foam Sleeves, a pair of Triple Flange 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 you're exercising. The E4g's are also compatible with custom-molded sleeves, made by a hearing specialist, for the ultimate in fit and comfort.
Lightweight Construction
Weighing only 1.1oz (31 g), the E4g is lightweight and secure enough for any portable listening application.
Earphones Carrying Case
The E4g comes with a stylish, compact carrying case, providing a convenient, tangle-free way to store your earphones.
Level Attenuator
An included volume level control allows for comfortable listening from any high-output audio source, such as airplane armrests.
Two-Year Limited Warranty
Every E4g purchased comes with a two-year limited warranty on materials and workmanship. (See warranty information)
Custom Ear Molds
Although the E4g comes with an assortment of sleeves to ensure a comfortable fit, some users may want something even more personalized. In this case, we recommend contacting a hearing professional, such as an audiologist, to make custom-fit ear molds for your E4g.

How to use
It's important to fit your E4g earphones properly into your ears. Read the earphones fitting tips for help on wearing your earphones.
"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!"
