An excellent introduction into premium audio via sound isolation, the SCL2 features single dynamic microdrivers for full sonic range and resonant bass. Because every ear is different, the Fit Kit includes three sizes (S, M, L) of the orange foam, clear and gray flex sleeves. Experiment with the size and style that creates the best fit for you -- a good seal is key to optimizing sound isolation and bass response as well as maximizing comfort during extended wear.

 These Need to be Broke IN April 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I reviews these under E2c because at the time there were no listing for these.
When I first took them out of the package I knew they weren't going to sound very good but just for fun I put "The Zombie Stomp" on by Ozzy Osbourne, yep they sounded BAD, no bass and very FLAT. When I went to bed I plugged them into the computer and looped one song all night. Still very little bass so I started playing with different ear pieces and after some trial and error I finally found the right combination, large soft rubber for the right and medium soft rubber for the left. Now I like bass (not the boom of some cars) but then the bass is there I want it known. I won't review these as something for everyone, it takes trial and error which mens time and some people aren't willing. If your willing to spend time removing and installing ear pieces I believe most people will be very happy with these.
I own several high end closed headsets including Koss, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser and one set of ear buds that came with a SanDisk player. I'm using these with that player and talk about bringing back that "WOW" feeling, these ear buds did just that.
So far I have tried these with a home CD player, DVD player, receiver and TV, have been amused at the sound of each, even the music on TV sounds better.
At first I found a bit uncomfortable but that may have been because I didn't have the right size ear pieces. I'm on day three with these and they sound a little better each day.
I gave these five stars because the other reviewer gave them a four and I feel four and a half would be right where these are, nothings perfect!
I would recommend these to anyone whom is willing to spend the time needed to find the right ear pieces, if your looking for something just to throw in your ears these are not for you.
Great sound, isolation for the money May 30, 2008

I actually bought the Shure e2c's but these came instead and are basically the same earphone, maybe even a little better. As an upgrade from the iPod pack-ins, these are a definite improvement. Sound quality is much clearer and they make the music come alive. However, getting them in your ears is a slight hassle compared with the ipod earbuds. Keep in mind the cord on these will need to go around your ear, which takes some getting used to.
The best part of these earphones is their isolation quality. Shure includes a good variety of ear pieces to fit your ear best, and they all do a decent job at keeping ambient noise out. These aren't noise cancelling however, so you are bound to be able to hear a little outside noise. With these earphones, any noise will be behind the music as opposed to interfering with it. On a side note, the ear pieces were a little hard to get off the earphones, so I suggest using the side of paperclip to wedge them off.
Some nice parts of these phones:
1. An excellent cord, about the right length. You don't get any cord extender, but these earphones reach around your knees. Best of all, the cord surprisingly doesn't act like a stethoscope transferring rubbing noises into your music. Compared to other earbuds I've tried, the cord is very nice.
2. A handy carrying case
3. The right and left earphone cords are the same length. Unless you like to wrap the cord around to one side of your neck, this is much appreciated.
All in all, for the price of ~$65 you can't go wrong with these.
awesome headphones September 30, 2008

I got these as a replacement for the E2C due to a frayed cord. I didn't think they would send me a new pair since the old ones were about 1.5 years old, but I hadn't abused them...the cord just seemed to crack above the ear. Anyway, they sent me a new pair of SCL2s under warranty, SWEET!!!!
Anyway, I LOVE sound isolating earphones. I like my music loud, but I don't have to turn it up nearly as loud with sound isolating earphones. These earphones stay in place when exercising, which is the main time that I use them.
The sound quality is excellent. I am sure there are headphones that sound better, but for the money these are the best I have owned. They are great at blocking noise on a plane, train etc.
I haven't noticed the lack of bass that others mention - just using these with an ipod.
I did find that one ear likes a smaller plastic fitting than the other, so a nice thing about these is that you get a selection of ear pieces so you can customize the fit. Even in long bike rides in the rainy NW they stay put and sound good.
So yeah, very happy with these headphones, I would buy them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to friends.
The Perfect Budget Headphones October 6, 2008

Keep in mind that this review is coming from someone who does not write reviews for the products they purchase on Amazon.com. I just feel that these headphones are so good that I had to tell other people.
First of all, I received these headphones as a birthday present two months ago. When I first listened to them, I thought that they were sub-par. I then realized that not only did I have them in my ears incorrectly, but the ear piece that was on the headphones was also too small for my ears. I switched around between the three different types (soft rubber, hard rubber, foam) and found that the medium sized soft rubber tips were the ones for me. My friend had recently received the Bose Triport In-Ear headphones, and I tried them out. All that they seemed to improve was the bass of the standard iPod headphones. These, however, are AMAZING. The high's and mid's of every song I have listened to have been surreal (try listening to any music with Horns and/or Piano). These headphones have something called a burn-in, which means that you basically have to break in the headphones because at first, the bass is not very up to par. After about two weeks of using them, they were without a doubt the best headphones that I had ever owned. The bass is perfect in my opinion, and not overwhelming as the Bose headphones are. Trust me, you will be hearing things in your music that you never even knew was there with these! A very highly recommended purchase!
 I like them 3 weeks into purchase -but think Ulimate ears Superf-fi 3 are better June 7, 2008

I have had the Ultimate ears super-fi 3's b4 I got these I broke my Ultimates-breakage not under warranty. The Super-fi's had better cords or wires that configured over the ears after beak-in time and the Shure's are not as durable but who knows it is early yet. Have to say I have to wear the shure's cords behind the neck and down the back when Im out walking or else the cords that come around the ear come undone-annoying. tis why 3 stars but customer service for shures are #1 I hear tis my factor in buying and decent quality. In summation- It was worth the $ but Im going with UE 4's next time around- I hope in 3yrs-warranty on shures end in 2yrs.
