Sound Isolating Technology
The E2c'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: Dynamic MicroDrivers
The E2c's speakers are constructed with studio-grade components, producing outstanding audio clarity that allows you to hear your music like never before.

Personal Fit Kit
Because every ear is different, E2c Earphones come with three pairs (small, medium, large) of disposable Foam Sleeves, and three pairs (small, medium, large) of Flex Sleeves to ensure the ideal personalized fit.

Secure In Ear Design
The soft, flexible sleeves in the Fit Kit gently contour the inside of the ear for a comfortable, secure fit so that the earphones don't fall out while you're exercising.

Low-Profile Earphone Cables
The E2c's cables pass behind the ear - out of sight and out of the way -- to provide a more comfortable, discreet fit.

Lightweight Construction
Weighing only 1 oz (30g), the E2c is lightweight and comfortable enough for any portable listening application -- packing a big punch in such a compact package.

Earphones Carrying Case
The E2c 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 E2c purchased comes with a two-year limited warranty on materials and workmanship. (See warranty information)

"...they're incredible... and nothing comes close to these E2c's. It's just unbelievable. You can hear so much more stuff when you're listening to music that you don't hear even with really high-end headphones... I put the Shure [E2c earphones] in, and it's just like, 'Wow!'"

"…One of my co-workers turned me on to the Shure E2c cans. He had them paired up with his new iPOD and was loving the results. I listened to everything from McCoy Tyner to My Bloody Valentine to Atmosphere to Mozart and the E2cs just got better and better. The E2cs are smartly designed, sound excellent, and offer good value."
