This review is from: Shure EA120 Replacement Foams (Yellow) for Shure E3c, E3g, E4c, E4g, E5c, I3, I4c, E3c-n and E4c-n models - 10 Pair (Electronics)

This was really not a pre-meditated plan, but after I tried all the different pieces in the shure fit-kit I realized that I liked the sound much better with the yellow "earplug" style foams. After a week I realized that they do not say spongy for ever. the foams are definately more of a disposable item than the soft plastic ear pieces.

But that said, it all comes down to this - using the foams for some reason seem to render the music with more definition, and particularly the base seems to have significantly more juice and details. Im not a audio geek, so that this with a "a grain of salt", but I spend hours one afternoon swapping earpieces on the headset... and yes, the foams deliver more defined sound.. but they also quiet the room MUCH more than the other styles and let you play the same piece at about 25% less volume..

Seriously, since all the styles came with your Shure headset, you probably already know this, But my vote for music quality is the yellow foams, for easy removel and maybe more wearing comfort use the soft clear or blacks.

I only give them a 4 because its still a headache to squize them to "install" before listening. great sound and beautiful quiet on the airplane.. but its not a perfect solution.. but then again. what is..?

Tip to make them last longer....put a little anti-bacterial dish washing liquid in your hands and wash them with warm water. They become clean and bright yellow again and only take a little while to dry. Love the sound isolation and comfort of the foam! A must-have!

4.0 out of 5 stars Didn't realize how worn out my old ones were!, August 16, 2006

After 8 months of thinking, "these (foam inserts that came with my E3c's)will last forever" I broke down and ordered these replacements as the originals were getting quite dirty. Whoa! The new ones made me realize how much my originals had hardened. My great sound and comfort was back - and the decay was so gradual I didn't even realize what I was missing!

So, 5 stars for performance, but 3 stars for what amounts to some pretty expensive foam ear plugs. Avg=4stars.
