Shure has listened to the consumers and crafted some of the best canalphones we have had the pleasure of auditioning.
Introduction
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 appreciate complete immersion into their music, there's no better option. There are some issues with fitting that plague all headphones of this style, but with a slew of available ear canal sleeves, there's one sure to satisfy you.
Edit 2/27/06 - We received a lot of inquiries regarding the difference between the E3g and E3c earphones. While we experienced a slight difference in bass between our two review units, Shure's PR department has released the following statement:
"In actuality, the E3g and E3c earphones are technically identical- there was no enhancement made to the bass response between the models. In order to complement portable gaming devices, Shure modified the exterior color of the earphones, shortened the cable length, and made over the product's packaging. You will only notice an increase in bass response when moving up the product line from the E3c (or E3g) to the E4c (or E4g)."
