Shure E3c


Type: Single Balanced Armature
Spec: 26Ω (@1kHz) | 25Hz~ 18kHz | 115dB SPL | 28g
Cord Style: Y-cord, 1.41m~ 1.57m.
Mini Jack Style: Gold plated L style, heavy build. 
Eartips Used: Shure Gary Soft Flex
Packaging: 5/5 
Build Quality: 5/5 (heavily build)
Accessories: 5/5 (everything you need is included)
Isolation: 4/5
Microphonics: 2/5 (earbud style) | 4/5 (over-the-ear style)
Comfort: 3/5 (thick cable is too heavy, plus not memory cable)
Soundstage: 3/5
Sound Quality: 3/5 (warm, but lack bass and treble)
Value: 3/5 (not the best sounding for its price)
Remark: With sound quality of an entry class IEM, E3c does nothing spectacularly good but comes with a higher-than-competitor’s price. A solid choice 4 yrs ago, but not anymore. The thick cable is quite a burden to use on any wearing style.
