This review is from: Shure E3 High Energy Ear Phones (Electronics)
I recently bought both these and Sony's much less expensive EX51LP (who names these things?) in-hear headphones. The Sonys are for the gym (where they will surely take a beating and eventually need to be replaced) while the Shures will be used for my daily commute on public transportation (a generally less violent activity). I really enjoy both earphones, but they are sonically worlds apart. The Sony earphones are a bit easier to insert and sit more comfortably in the ear than the Shures (whose cables have to be looped up and over each ear, newscaster-style). When it comes to ease of use and physical comfort, the Sonys are simply better. Sonically, it is hard to say one set of earphones is objectively better than the other. The Sonys feature a very prominent bottom end while the Shures have tighter bass response and much more mid-range clarity. I would say the Sonys have been engineered to sound "hot" (lots of bass and treble) while the Shures were designed to sound more neutral. In places where a sense of energy is more important than nuance (e.g., at the gym or out jogging) I'd recommend the Sony earphones. For longer periods of more introspective listening, the Shures can't be beat.

This review is from: Shure E3 High Energy Ear Phones (Electronics)
These little earplugs make a world of difference for your portable music device. I use them with my iPod and have tried them on the noisiest planes, in airports and on the subway. They cancel out huge amounts of the surrounding noise, and you don't have to crank up your device as much, resulting in saved battery power. The sound is outstanding and really enhance the experiennce with a digital music device. With the iPod the difference was absolutely stunning. They are very well made and the addition of a fit kit allows you to find the perfect plug configuration for your ear. Mine came with a great little case to keep them in, and I also like that they have a really long cord, which is useful for gym users who puut their device down on the exercise machine.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Having read enough reviews, I felt this was a good purchase... although I was initially worried about the "lack of bass" in quite a number of reviews...but I was confident that most users that experienced low bass response hadn't fitted the sleeves properly. So I just went ahead and got the E3.
Anyway, first attempt... medium sleeves, laptop, reference WAV file ... fit ok... isolation was excellent. Everything was clear, sounded like my reference system at home... bass was so-so. I wasn't expecting much since these are just earphones with small drivers...and a lot of people were saying that it lacked bass. Second attempt... switched to the small sleeves... better everything. Bass improved a whole lot... highs got a bit clearer... EQ is always flat... kept fudging around with the fit to improve response... found good spot. Volume at 3. Third attempt... same config... switched to my Turtle Beach Audio Advantage... EQ flat... Volume at 2... HOLY $#!+... the bass kicked in like crazy. Sounds better than my Philips "earmuf" headsets in terms of bass-response! Got excited... plugged it into my Denon amp instead of the laptop... played regular CDs... WOW... FULL F******G RANGE. Bass response is absolutely excellent... the only thing it lacked was the "feel" of a real sub. Tried going to my iPod... blah... iPod amp/DSP sucks. Bass was gone... even when I tried a full, high-bitrate MP3. iPod EQ no good... bass frequencies it controls aren't the right ones, even at full bass. Played back the same MP3 over my PC SPDIF to my Denon... Bass was back. Conclusion... these headsets will NOT be the weakest link in your audio system. Any lack of bass can be traced back to one of two things... improper fit... or poor amp. Tried SonyEricsson Walkman phone... now, THAT is a proper DSP. No need for MegaBass, but sounds great if you like heavier bass... with MegaBass off, sounds correct/reference. EQ and amp on the SonyEricsson P910, W800, K750 are much better than any of the iPods I tried it on... same MP3, 320kbps.
