My dear wife gave me new headphones, the Shure E2c. I used to use Koss Porta Pro, but after trying sound isolating in-ear phones I was hooked. My first pair was a set of mid-priced Sonys. But after listening to the E2c’s and then switching to my old Sony headphones the difference is amazing. The Shure headphones sounds so much better. There’s just one problem. It seems Shure has designed the headphones for Mr Spock, because the size of the flex sleeves are way to big. I can’t get them to sit comfortably in my ears. So I have to use the foam sleeves, and they isolate external sounds great, but they’re to complicated to insert into the ear. I listen to music when driving the car and walking to and from customers, and when getting a phone call every fifteen minutes I just can’t go through the complicated process of inserting the foam sleeves. I’ll try to find other sleeves that’s more comfortable. I like that the cable is thick and sturdy. I also like that the 3.5mm stereo plug is angled. So to summarize, if you have the right size ears, you get a great sounding headphone for a reasonable price.
