Re: Help w/ earbuds - Shure E5C vs others
shure e4 pros are much better than the e5's. however, i would take a look at the etymotic er-4p or the ultimate ears super fi 5 pros. UE may be the best headphone company in the world, so i suggest giving them a look.

Re: Help w/ earbuds - Shure E5C vs others
Wow, people buy everyday use headphones (earbuds, even!) that cost upwards of $500?
A quick googling shows some "Ultimate Ears" headphones listed at around $200. Are they worth it? Im skeptical... |

Re: Help w/ earbuds - Shure E5C vs others
if something is "everyday use" dont you want it to be good?
ultimate ears UE-10 Pro is $900 dollars and you have to have them custom fit to your ears. while the bottom of their line is the super fi 3 for $99. i would say listen to both and decide if YOU think its worth it, thats what its all about really. rj |

munkster,
I have e3cs and love them. bass is low but I don't listen to much bass-y music. I've heard great things about the e4c's. |

Re: Help w/ earbuds - Shure E5C vs others

Re: Help w/ earbuds - Shure E5C vs others
For around that price, I would recommend the Etymotic ER-6 or ER-6i headphones. I used to have a pair of ER-6i's and I loved to use them with the foam tips on planes. I could barely hear the engines; it was great.
They are $150 directly from Etymotic and the ER-6i's are white if you want to match an iPod. |

[/ QUOTE ] I have the E3cs as well, and never found a problem with the bass (though I do have the eq turned up a bit on the iPod). Are you sure that you have a good fit in your ear? I get the best results with the foam plugs. |
