The E3c combines precision components and remarkable sound isolation to provide studio quality sound everywhere you go. High energy micro-speakers deliver great tonal balance across the entire frequency range. Flexible sleeves produce remarkable isolation, revealing the subtle details of original recordings. The small compact earphone design fits securely in your ear, making it ideal for active listening and frequent travel. The E3c's ear sleeves can even be custom-fit by a hearing specialist, after your purchase, for the best personalized fit and comfort.

Sound Isolating Technology
The E3c’s in ear design naturally blocks background noise. This allows lower listening volumes in loud environments. No batteries or extra equipment are needed for sound isolation.

High Energy Micro-Speakers with Extended Frequency Response
The E3c's speakers are constructed with studio-grade components, with balanced armature technology, producing efficient output and exceptional audio clarity. The E3c's speakers have an extended frequency range for even greater clarity in your listening experience. (See technical specs)

Personal Fit Kit
Because every ear is different, E3c's earphones come with a pair of disposable foam sleeves, three pairs (small, medium, large) of flex sleeves, and three pairs of ultra-soft flex sleeves (small, medium, large) to ensure the ideal personalized fit.

Secure In Ear Design
The soft, flexible sleeves in the Fit Kit gently contour the inside of the ear for a comfortable, secure fit. The E3c's are compatible with custom-molded sleeves, fit by a hearing specialist, for the ultimate in fit and comfort.

Low-Profile Earphone Cables
The E3c's cables pass behind the ear — out of sight and out of the way — to provide a more comfortable, discreet fit.

Lightweight Construction
Weighing only 0.9 oz (28g), the E3c is one of the lightest earphones ever made.

Earphones Carrying Case
The E3c comes with a stylish, compact carrying case. The cable spool inside allows for an easy, tangle-free way to store your earphones.

Guarantee
Two-year warranty on materials and workmanship

Altough the E3 comes with several comfortable sleeves for a comfortable fit, some E3 users may want an even more personalized fit. A Hearing Health Care Professional (such as a qualified audiologist) can make custom-fit ear molds for the E3c and E3 from impressions of your ears. Custom-made ear molds can provide better comfort and ambient noise isolation for some users.

IMPORTANT

Please note the following:

a) The E3s usually take 1 week to 10 days on average for customers to get the proper seal, performance and comfort from them. The quality of the seal you get dictates the quality of bass you get. It took me 7 days to understand what all the buzz was about.

b) The yellow foams sleeves will, in general, provide the best results (as in MUCH better sound quality than the other ones) => unanimous opinion here in the company.

c) If the seal is not right the E3 will sound thin and lacking bass. Sometimes changing from a pair of yellow foam sleeves to another will make a big difference (you will notice that these yellow foams are hand cut and sometimes the length will vary delivering better or worse performance depending on your ear size and shape).

d) You have 2 Year Warranty, meaning that the E3s will be replaced at no charge for a brand new unit within 2 years by Shure (800-516-2525 – no hassle replacements or repairs)

e) If one of the transducers plays at a lower volume, or general sound quality is poor, there’s a very good chance it’s blocked with wax. This is extremely common. So first start by checking the sleeves itself and use the wax removal tool provided if needed. Then remove the sleeve and look inside the opening of the E3 and carefully use the same tool if needed.
