Customer Review: So 4 Stars

Today is 11/9/08, I ordered the Shure E2Mc-n earphones on 10/8/08 & Amazon is asking me to give review for a product that I've had for less than a month (after waiting for a week for shipping to happen).
I have a Sansa View MP3 & video player. I wanted something different from the IPOD since both of my kids have them and I'm not too thrilled about what you get for what you pay with the IPOD. I got 8 gigs for a little over $150.
Right away I knew I'd need different earphones both the IPOD & the View have earphones the rest on your ears (over the opening) and the slightest move caused them to not be there. Also any ambient noise almost canceled out what I was listening to. Mowing the law was a waste of battery power as I couldn't hear anything but the lawn mower.
Well, the Shure E2c-n allows me to hear the music I'm listening to, although the mower is still very audible. I don't expect to not hear any outside noise as that would be very unsafe while doing something like mowing the lawn anyway. And remember, true noise canceling headphones "inject" white noise (static) into the background to block outside noise from being heard which means in a quiet environment you hear a hissing sound between songs.
I've only tried one of the many sizes of custom fitting rubber & foam pieces that came with them to help them be the perfect fit for comfort and blocking the outside noise. The one that came already attached works pretty good for me, although I should try some of the others. Many of the reviews I read before choosing these say that finding the perfect fit greatly improves performance, so I may be even more happy with my choice.
The main thing that is impressive is how "sturdy" they appear to be built. The wires are at least twice the gauge of the stock earphones for both units. One of my daughters IPOD earphones quit working on pretty short order as she stuffed it into her backpack daily and I'm sure the wires just gave out. The Gel replacements we got for her have lasted 10 times as long, but I still don't like the fit of them.
One thing to mention, I have worked in a loud production environment for most of my life & hearing protection was a requirement so I'm quite used to having earplugs stuffed into my ears. I guess what I'm trying to say is that these might not be for everyone because you do have to wear them down inside your ear canal for them to work.
Oh yeah the sound......... It's OK for for me. I'm a musician and I'm pretty picky about how it sounds. The high end is really good but the bass just seems to lack. But come on, how could you get booming lows with a tiny speaker anyway?? I don't expect chest rattling bass vibes. There are some earphones on the market that advertise big bass, but I'm really skeptical that they alter the music too much to simulate big bass. With the E2c-m the overall tone is good and that all that matters.
So far, so

Description of Shure E2c-n Sound Isolating Earphones (Black)

In sleek black, to go with some of today's newest MP3 and other audio players. Originally developed for professional musicians, the E2c combines Dynamic MicroDriver speaker technology with a sound isolating design to deliver rich, full-range sound while blocking outside noise -- ideal for enhancing your listening experience with portable MP3, DVD, and CD players as well as all other audio sources. 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. The E2c's speakers are constructed with studio-grade components, producing outstanding audio clarity that allows you to hear your music like never before. The E2c's cables pass behind the ear - out of sight and out of the way -- to provide a more comfortable, discreet fit. Plus, the E2c comes with a stylish, compact carrying case. The cable spool inside provides a convenient, tangle-free way to store your earphones.
