Shure E3c in da house!

They're here... Sounds great so far. I definitely like them better than the Etymotic ER-6i. Slightly warmer and punchier (is that a word?) in the bass. Upper frequencies seem a little rolled off, but I've read that the E3c need some break-in time to sound its best.

Shopping for new earphones

My Shure E2c earphones bit the dust last week. I've been very happy with the sound quality of these earphones in the 1+ year I've had them. Too bad they didn't last. Shure's web site graciously offers flat rate repairs for earphones at $55 per repair. Nice price for a pair of earphones I can buy for $60 these days.

Anyway, I bought a pair of Etymotic ER-6i earphones. I've been listening to them since yesterday. While they're accurate sounding, I feel that the bass response is a little lacking. I like accurate, but I do like to feel the music a little more. These sound signature on these are pretty flat and laid back.



So, back to the drawing board. I think I'm going to order Shure E3c earphones from Amazon.com today. They're the next step up from my dearly-departed E2cs and are supposed to have a better bass response than the Etymotics.
