Sound Good to Me! [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!
Love 'em (but cords are too winpy) [Posted on 2008-06-30]
This is my third pair of these in the past 5 or so years. To be more exact I have had two pair of Shure E2Cs and now my first pair of Shure SCL2s, but there basically the same earphones. The fact that I keep buying them at $75 tells you that I like them. The sound is just fine and the sound isolating is great. I use them on the subway most days and on airplanes when I travel. They are great for that.
I have also owned noise cancelling headphones and I much prefer the sound isolating style. If you're in between the two types, here is my view. The noise canceling headphones are more comfortable. But after you use the sound isolating headphones for a while, you'll get used to them. The two big advantages to the sound isolating are they are much smaller and they don't need batteries. The size is an obvious advantage, but don't discount the importance of batteries. I can't tell you how many times I forgot to switch off my sound isolating headphones and had dead batteries Monday morning on my way to work.
Now for my one gripe about the Shure headphones (causing 4-stars instead on 5). The cords are too wimpy. The reason I am on my third pair of these is that the cord had frayed away right next to the ear bud. Eventually they fray to the point that they just break. For $75 they should make the cord sturdy.
Nice earphones for people wearing glasses [Posted on 2008-08-25]
These are a nice upgrade from the earlier model E2c. Truly isolating all the background noise. Very comfortable with my glasses. I love that they ship with 3 different ear sleeves for customizing the feeling in your ear. Great phones, i love them. No issues with tucking them behind the ear.
Great bang for your buck [Posted on 2008-09-19]
Great set of headphones. Just be careful about dropping them on the floor as the shell can be prone to breaking.
awesome headphones [Posted on 2008-09-30]
I got these as a replacement for the E2C due to a frayed cord. I didn't think they would send me a new pair since the old ones were about 1.5 years old, but I hadn't abused them...the cord just seemed to crack above the ear. Anyway, they sent me a new pair of SCL2s under warranty, SWEET!!!!
Anyway, I LOVE sound isolating earphones. I like my music loud, but I don't have to turn it up nearly as loud with sound isolating earphones. These earphones stay in place when exercising, which is the main time that I use them.
The sound quality is excellent. I am sure there are headphones that sound better, but for the money these are the best I have owned. They are great at blocking noise on a plane, train etc.
I haven't noticed the lack of bass that others mention - just using these with an ipod.
I did find that one ear likes a smaller plastic fitting than the other, so a nice thing about these is that you get a selection of ear pieces so you can customize the fit. Even in long bike rides in the rainy NW they stay put and sound good.
So yeah, very happy with these headphones, I would buy them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to friends.
