• 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.

The Lightweight SCL2 features single dynamic microdrivers for full sonic range and resonant bass.

After using these for 3 weeks I can now confidently say that I am thoroughly disappointed with my purchase. My main gripe is the bass response... and I do have them inserted correctly in my ear. Although the mids and highs are great the bass is just so weak that most songs sound boring and lack depth. If I listened to rap it would be even worse.

The cord material is stiff and the way it comes out of the speaker is just retarded. Also the odd shape of the speaker/housing causes it to droop and fall out of your ear unless you use the foam inserts. There are 9 sets of inserts and I hate them all. My old sonys came with just one but they were perfect!

I'd love to smash these headphones with a hammer into little pieces but then I'm reminded that they cost $70. The only positive thing about them is the noise cancellation works very well.

Never having used in-ear phones in the past I wasn't quite sure to expect. The only other earphone that I have extensive experience with is a vintage pair of Stax SRX-Mk3s. The E2c was the specific model that I was interested in, mostly in part due to Siegfried Linkwitz' study on reference earphones ([...]). After discovering that the E2c was no longer available I settled on the SCL2. While they do not sound as good as my Stax reference headphones, the SCL2 does sound mighty good. Their level of isolation and comfort using the supplied foam pads is excellent. Overall I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

I just got a pair of the Shure SCL2 Sound Isolating Earphones in black and I have to say they sound really good with my iPod and laptop. They don't perform as well as my other set, the Shure SE530's but what do you expect when you compare what $500.00 buys you versus $69.00 or so. These are for me to wear exercising, riding my bicycle, and doing yard work in (which I don't dare do wearing the SE530's). All in all, the bottom-end Bass response is more than adequate and the SCL2's produce clear and pleasing high-end reproduction. A good buy!

I just received a pair of these (in a clear styling) that replace a set of e2s I bought a couple of years ago. They're at least as good, and I suspect (as others have noted) that they'll improve somewhat after the break in period. The fit is good once you find the right match for your ears from the many included options, and unless you are *really* into sound you are going to think these are just great. I'm sure there are people who care a lot more about fine points of sound than I do who will be able to find flaws with these, but there's a point of diminishing returns for me around about this price point, and these are far and away the best I've found in this range.

Most importantly, though, this company totally blows me away with their customer service. My old e2s were about six months out of the very generous two year warranty, but had, about a year ago, started to very infrequently drop out in one ear -- probably a short in that ear's wire. It happened so infrequently that I ignored it until it got worse, and then these were out of warranty. I returned them with a note explaining the situation, and two weeks later got a brand new pair of these in the mail. It is pretty rare to find this kind of customer service, and it definitely factors into my five star review and my loyalty to this brand.

I'm on my second pair of Shures. The first were E2's that the right side just quit working. They were probably 10 months old. Now I have SCL2's which they sent me instead of the E2's. I'm 8 months into owning them and the LEFT side is now DEAD. I don't think I'm hard on earphones; I just use them at the gym and walking and the bulk of the time is talk podcasts! I guess I'm glad they have a two year warranty, but it would be nicer if they just made earphones that would last for at least a year, for these prices. They'd get 1 star if they didn't stand by their warranty. I'm beginning to wonder if cheap earphones replaced over and over wouldn't cost the same or less than shipping these things back over and over....
