Great Company and Earbuds - Can't Beat Them for the Price [Posted on 2008-04-25]
I had e2c's, and the wires started to crack (this is a common problem that Shure knows about- it has to do with the type of plastic that is used for the insulation and the way it reacts with certain skin chemicals, but ther's no better material available). Shure replaced them for free under the 2 year warranty. The e2c model has since been replaced by the more expensive se2's, but Shure has re-packaged the e2c's as the SCL2. According to Shure, they are the same phone, just repackaged. But...
I agree completely with the previous poster who said that he feels that these sound better than the e2c's. The bass IS deeper, and the sound overall is more detailed and richer. Maybe because they are new? I don't know... all I know is I am very happy with the SCL2's.
One change that I do not like- the hard case has had the inner spool removed, so you no longer have anything to wrap the cord around. I wrap it around my fingers and then jam everything into the case. It goes in fine, but is a mess when it comes out. Shure yanked the spools because they were finding that people were wrapping the cord too tight and causing premature failure of the wires.
Shure's warranty program and service is outstanding. My new phones arrived only 1 week after I sent in my old ones. I just wish I had kept the old case :( but that's really a personal choice kind of thing anyway.
excellent warranty and product [Posted on 2008-04-28]
I bought the E2c 8 months ago, 2 weeks ago I started listening static; apparently was something wrong with the cable, I returned the earphones to Shure for warranty repair and yesterday I received a package from Shure with a letter inside apologizing because the E2c is no longer in stock and there is no way to repair my earphones, in exchange they send me a new pair of SCL2 for free.
There is a great difference in the quality between the E2c and SCL2, the SCL2 has a more flexible cable and a deeper bass
I recommend this earphones they have a good quality and excellent customer service, which is rare to find nowadays, it took me only a week to receive my new SCL2.
thank goodness for the warranty! again! [Posted on 2008-06-12]
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....
Very Good Sound; Incredible Customer Service [Posted on 2008-06-13]
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.
Very Good Buy [Posted on 2008-06-14]
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!
