Shure E3G

Shure's new line of gaming canalphones fill in the gaps within the company's consumer line, by retaining the crisp, accurate sound of the C series and boosting the bass. Some users may find this style of headphone uncomfortable, but for those who...

Good sound isolation; strong ; accurate bass; sound clarity

Spendy; tough to fit properly

Shure has listened to the consumers and crafted some of the best canalphones we have had the pleasure of auditioning.

Shure E3G

Well Shure audio is the best I have ever experienced! The quality, the noise reduction, the style; Shure takes audio to a higher level! First, I bought this pair of E3Gs but later on I just switched to the E5Cs.

Shure E3G

I have owned a set of e3g's since Oct '05 and love them! Excellent sound quality and great for commuting on the noisy trains here in NYC.

Shure E3G

Was wary of paying 120GBP to replace my e2c's (destroyed in the Buncefield oil depot explosion !) but I'm utterly and totally delighted with the e3g's – no idea if they're the same as the e3c's because I've never heard them. (but cant see why shure...

Son Increibles

Son increiblemente buenos. Suenan muy pero muy bien y son robustos (los uso bastante desde hace 6 meses y estan como nuevos). El cable es un poco grueso pero lo acepto porque no conozco cables mas finos y blandos que no se corten con el tiempo. \n \n \n

Great! But price jumped $60 since i bought them

I am giving this 2 stars because I paid $97.99 on Nov 13th, 2007. And now on Nov 28th, 2007 (as I come back to review this after a few weeks with the product), the price is now $159.00. DO NOT BUY these for that price. You can get these cheaper...

Great Earphones, High Cost

I upgraded from Shure e2's to these and I'm very, very pleased with the sound and comfort differences. The sound-isolation is decent with the black and clear flex sleeves, and the sound quality is fine. But with the yellow foam sleeves, the sound...

These are FANTASTIC!!!

I researched these (and many others) thoroughly before choosing the E3g's. Compared to other earphones at this price point the E3g's are well-made and perform extremely well. Bass is (to my ear) just about perfect. Obviously these are quite...
