Shure E4C Sound Isolating Earphones

The Shure E4C sound isolating earphones are a music aficionado's dream come true.

Designed to deliver professional-grade sound free of artifacts, they use sound isolation rather than noise cancellation technology.

What this means is that unlike the stone-age bulky headphones that use noise cancellation, you are left with sleek and stylish mini marvels that come complete with a personal fit kit ensuring they fit in every audiophile's ear canal.

The earplug designs ensures that you enjoy every note in its original clarity even in noisy surroundings – perfect for on-the-go music lovers who want to retreat into their worlds even on packed trains and buses.

The pack of reusable flex sleeves and disposable foam sleeves provided with the earphones allow you to try different sizes to find the most comfortable fit.

The only drawback is that some users may find it a tad difficult to get the positioning of the earphones right at the first go.

But once you get used to fitting it correctly, the earplug's design is pretty much unrivalled as far as sound isolation goes.

For those that are serious about their sound and willing to pay the price, a health care professional can even make custom-fit ear molds!

The E4C from Shure is suited for use with CD players, MP3 players and any other listening device with a 3.5mm stereo output.

Its biggest fan base however lie among Apple iPod users – understandable, since it appears that the E4C has been stylized to match most available iPod variations.

The Shure E4C uses High Definition drivers and micro speaker technology to deliver the superior quality of sound characteristic of the company's range of earphones in the E series.

The main selling point of the E4C however, is the new Tuned Port technology which it uses to improve airflow around the driver thereby enhancing the bass response.

This lends a woody tonality to stand-up basses, makes baritones sound deeper and ensures male voices sound weightier.

With its dynamic sound, superior bass definition, exceptional clarity and natural warmth, the E4C gives you that heady feeling of being transported right into the middle of a live performance.

And this despite the fact that you may be taking that crowded 8:00 a.m. train to work seated right next to the lady bouncing a squalling baby on her knee!

Shure's E series is known to be high-end and therefore, rather pricey. Priced at $299, the Shure E4C fits bang in the middle of the Shure range of noise isolation headphones, making it the accessory of choice for price-conscious and discerning audiophiles.

And if you're wondering how to carry these little jewels on that camping trip, remember they weigh just over an ounce and come with a hard-shell zippered carrying case.
