SE Model Reviews
"…we actually preferred the shape and feel of the less expensive SE210: it fit a little better in our ears, particularly when used with the new black foams, which provide superb external sound isolation so long as you’ve picked the proper size for your ears."
- Jeremy Horwitz, iLounge, March 7, 2007

"I was impressed at how well the new SE310's reduced the external noise while delivering rich sound."
- Eric Benderoff, Chicago Tribune

"The SE310s sound great thanks to their terrific noise isolation feature, and feel good."

On the SE420: "The range is great, near perfect with very little drop off at the bass end of the equalizer."
- Max Slowik, TheTechLounge, January 7, 2007

E Series Reviews
"The makers of Shure have basically upped the ante within the market of headphones and sound gear...after I customized them to my ear canal, I heard nothing else at all. Not even the screaming neighbor's kids."
Michael Mardings, (July, 2004)
"And unlike noise-canceling headphones that add frequencies to neutralize background noise, the E Series uses a 'Fit Kit' -- soft, flexible pleasure nubs that conform to your inner ear -- to block out external noise and allow you to hear more detail at lower volumes. And, ooh, what detail you'll hear. Solid, gut-punching bass and crisp, ear-piercing highs, even in the lower-end unit. Yes, they're expensive, but think of all the money you saved with Kazaa!"

iPodLounge "Recommended" Seal 
Both Shure's E2c and E3c earphones received a "Recommended" seal from iPodLounge.com.
"Shure sent over their entry level E2c (nice sound, $99), the E3c ($179), and E5c ($499, possibly the most neutral-sounding headphones I've ever listened to, as well they should be for the price) …My favorite is the E3c, which comes close to matching the E5c's sound without the slightly larger dual-driver enclosure (yes, the E5c actually has separate itty bitty bass and treble drivers crammed in there somehow). For my ears, the E3c's are more comfortable, and I've worn them while mowing the lawn, on international flights, at my desk, in the NY subway system."
