Shure SLC4
By RooDHawG on February 5, 2009
Comments: Outstanding sound clarity and isolation but, the left ear bud stopped working after two weeks. I did not remove from my ears by pulling the chords (to expensive to treat like that). Returned for refund. I would be willing to give them another try but leary of quality and don't want to loose money in the return process again. The search for a decent set of headphones continues.

SCL4 or ER-4P
By Aziz on June 6, 2008
Comments: i've just bough a pair they're really sounds great and even better than the Etymotic ER-4P in general. vocal is perfectly clear with details right into your brain. More comfortable than the ER-4P even with the right flex sleeves you won't feel that they are there. For the record ER-4P are better in details effects.

Incredible sound

Comments: Bought E4C in Dec 2006. Originally, I wanna buy an entry-level high quality earphone for my K750i with lower budget. Having compared E2C, E3C and E4C, I was tempted by E4C. The vocal and background details reproduced by E4C is far more better than the other two. To me, the singer's voice is more alive. I can hear and feel her breath. The background sound, esp piano, is very rich. The only thing not perfect is the bass which isn't that strong. Overall sound is well-balanced and I am pretty satisfied.

Comments: I bought a pair of Shure E4G's in May of 2007. I started out listening to them with a HeadRoom Supreme dedicated headphone amplifier sitting between the E4G's and my source. I was impressed. They sounded much better than any other headphone I had ever plugged into that amplifier. Then it occured to me to just plug the Shure E4G's directly into my MP3 player - bypassing the headphone amplifier. Whoa! The difference in resolution and acutance was spectacular! I was astonished at the realization that these little IEM's are so accurate that I could HEAR the noise injected by my Class B headphone amp! I grabbed some sealed cans (Sennheiser HD280 Pro's) that have always sounded better with the headphone amp than without, just to make sure that there wasn't something wrong with the amp - nope - it was working fine, but the Sennheisers simply don't convey enough detail to reveal the amp's signature. Instead, the amp does what it's intended to do with those phones - tightening the base, enlargeing the sound field, etc. But not so with the E4G's! I seriously doubt that ANY headphone amp could do anything but ruin the performance of the E4G's. OK... If that doesn't whet your appetite, consider this... They come with a 2-year warranty. I don't know what happened, but somehow, I killed my E4G's. They just stopped working, but there was no evidence of any external damage. I sent them into Shure, Inc. for warranty work. Guess what! Less than two weeks later, I received a brand new pair SLC4-K's (the Pro Audio series equivalent of the E4G's)! Shure had replaced them at no expense to me! All I paid for was the postage, one way. I am one happy camper! Incredible sound, incredible service. Mike

Comments: FIRST IMPRESSION: they cost me $280 AUD (new+warranty), but RRP is about $500, lowest retail price is roughly $430 and my first impressions are: man oh man, are they ever so underwhelmingly dissapointing i was prepared to be blown outta my socks after all the stuff i've read about these earphones, and for $300!! i thought i was going to get somethign really special but it was nothign great, the bass was hardly there, i couldn't really 'feel' it, they weren't any better than the Sennheiser ones i got with my iRiver. wtf is up with that?? i thought the Sennheiser ones were really really good for stock earphones they give you, but the Shure E4's turned out to sound exactly the same. they're meant to be bassier, and better sounding than the E2's and E3's, i'd hate to have to listen to them as a note, i did get a good seal, i stuck the thing in my ear, lifted my ear lobe up, shifted it around, pulled my earlobe down, shifted it around, and the earphones were in like a vacumm. i couldn't pull it off my ears, i had to twist them, with a small amount of force to get them out; ergo i had a good seal these are just first impressions, i havn't listened to a variety of songs yet, in fact i've just listened to one, but this song Jem - Come on Closer, is really really bassy, when i listen to it on my Z-5500D's, the neighbours house will shake, and i did get any bass out of the earphones anyway, i heard their meant to have a break-in period, so i've left them running with a variety of songs and sound levels to get them warmed up FOLLOW UP well i've burned them in for about 6 hours and been using them for about 2-3 hours so far and the bass is still lacking, i thought it was going to get some degree of pounding in my ears, but all i get is the full-bodied sound of the bass its bassically like the bass i hear on a good speaker set-up but without the body shaking but compared to the stock Senn's they are much much better, its just becuae i had the SRS WOW on that made it sound the same the sound quality is that of my Z-5500D's, so ive been used to ecceptional sound quality for over a year now, and havn't been hearing anything radically different. i guess my ears have become tuned to high quality listening so it jsut sounds ordinary to me, but it probably would sound amzaing to somebody else i listened to my mates $100 pair of Sony MDR, somthing a rathers, and they are no where near these well, thats my 2 cents CONCLUSION great sounding earphones, will sound good to lay-people, just not good enough for me. RECOMMENDATION if you're going to spend $300 on earphones, EARPHONES, of all things, you mihgt as well go ALL OUT, and get the BEST damn ones on the market, so there will be absolutely no dissapointment whatsoever. thatll be the UM2's or the E500 cheers

FIRST IMPRESSION:

they cost me $280 AUD (new+warranty), but RRP is about $500, lowest retail price is roughly $430

and my first impressions are:

man oh man, are they ever so underwhelmingly dissapointing

i was prepared to be blown outta my socks after all the stuff i've read about these earphones, and for $300!! i thought i was going to get somethign really special

but it was nothign great, the bass was hardly there, i couldn't really 'feel' it, they weren't any better than the Sennheiser ones i got with my iRiver. wtf is up with that??

i thought the Sennheiser ones were really really good for stock earphones they give you, but the Shure E4's turned out to sound exactly the same. they're meant to be bassier, and better sounding than the E2's and E3's, i'd hate to have to listen to them

as a note, i did get a good seal, i stuck the thing in my ear, lifted my ear lobe up, shifted it around, pulled my earlobe down, shifted it around, and the earphones were in like a vacumm. i couldn't pull it off my ears, i had to twist them, with a small amount of force to get them out; ergo i had a good seal

these are just first impressions, i havn't listened to a variety of songs yet, in fact i've just listened to one, but this song Jem - Come on Closer, is really really bassy, when i listen to it on my Z-5500D's, the neighbours house will shake, and i did get any bass out of the earphones

anyway, i heard their meant to have a break-in period, so i've left them running with a variety of songs and sound levels to get them warmed up

FOLLOW UP

well i've burned them in for about 6 hours and been using them for about 2-3 hours so far

and the bass is still lacking, i thought it was going to get some degree of pounding in my ears, but all i get is the full-bodied sound of the bass

its bassically like the bass i hear on a good speaker set-up but without the body shaking

but compared to the stock Senn's they are much much better, its just becuae i had the SRS WOW on that made it sound the same

the sound quality is that of my Z-5500D's, so ive been used to ecceptional sound quality for over a year now, and havn't been hearing anything radically different.

i guess my ears have become tuned to high quality listening so it jsut sounds ordinary to me, but it probably would sound amzaing to somebody else

i listened to my mates $100 pair of Sony MDR, somthing a rathers, and they are no where near these

well, thats my 2 cents

CONCLUSION

great sounding earphones, will sound good to lay-people, just not good enough for me.

RECOMMENDATION

if you're going to spend $300 on earphones, EARPHONES, of all things, you mihgt as well go ALL OUT, and get the BEST damn ones on the market, so there will be absolutely no dissapointment whatsoever. thatll be the UM2's or the E500

Comments: Probably the best closed headphones you can find under $200. Amazing build quality. Specially the cnc milled aluminium ring is a nice touch. Good balance sound and musical presentation. Little on the analytical side, but not dry and harsh at all. Very tight fast bass and smooth midrange make these headphones shine.


By Peter on December 15, 2005
Comments: I lost my great e3's and decided to buy the E4's. Boy was it worth the difference. The soundstage is is just so much better than the e3's and I didnt think much could sound better. Now when a song ends it is like being in front of a live band and my ears just flutter.


By Mike on November 21, 2005
Comments: I'm happy with my purchase of these Shure E4's. I tried these and the Etymotic ER4P's and found the Shure's to be equally good sounding but much more durable -- the Etymotics have a lot of cord noise that occurs anytime you turn your head.


By Acidburn on November 20, 2005
Comments: The first time I 'poped' these in my ears, I was like wow! Better mids and bass. Loved the sound more then my E3c.


By John H Ong on August 21, 2005
Comments: Fantastic Its a portable Hifi system Wondering how much E5 can improve on this Thks Shure...


By Manuel on August 18, 2005
Comments: Awesome. Is like having a pair of expensive hi-fi speakers inside your head. You can't find a more detailed sound out there.


By Anthony G. on August 10, 2005
Comments: Outstanding product,excellent detail and clarity.the sound is very smooth,just the right amount of bass and the mids and highs are not harsh.built quality is top notch, i will enjoy this for many years.P.S. use the foam sleeves they are the most flexable and easiest to use.

Comments: Best I've ever used


By Nigel (uk) on August 1, 2005
Comments: What I look for in speakers no matter how small, is accuracy timing and portrayal of the instruments,vocals and these little speakers seem to have it all, with comfort thrown in as well I am using the shure soft flex sleeves,I did not find any digital nasties that have been mentioned but have given them a couple of weeks to burn in. I am using them with an Iriver h340. To get the best out of these a bit rate of 192 or above is recommended as they reveal so much detail both on Rock,Jazz and Classical they are very addictive. Summing up all I can say I am very happy with the sound which overall is very balanced and dynamic.

Comments: WOW! I was really unsure if these babies would be THAT much better than my E3c's, but they are. Let me start off by saying that I have used: 1. Apple's stock iPod buds. (lousy) 2. Koss "The Plug" earbuds. (slightly less lousy) 3. Sony EX-71sl. (nice, but muddy) 4. Etymotic ER-6i. (didn't like the sound) 5. Shure E3c. (LOVE these) 6. Shure E4. (Love these even more) Basically, Shure took the tremendous sound of the E3c, and expanded it. As my brother said when he listened to them "they sound fatter". That's a good way of putting it. The sound is just fuller. Bass has been increased tremendously, and the high end is crystal clear. I took the Shure triple-flange sleeves, and snipped off the biggest flange. They now get right down in my ear canal, and are quite comfortable. If you are on the fence about getting these, don't wait! THEY ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

Extreme detail on the mid and high range providing a very clean background. One of the best earphones for jazz, classical and songs that require a clean background but have few instruments in the music.

The SCL4 has emphasized mids and highs with weaker bass. If you are looking for something more balanced, the Shure SE210 could be a better and cheaper solution.

Comfort and fit are very good and when you purchase the Shure earphones from Earphone Solutions you are guaranteed the 2 Year no hassle replacement or repair by Shure.

Best for songs with a vocal and an acoustic guitar for example. Recommended for the kind of songs that would benefit from an "empty", clean background, crispy output and don't need much bass. Not recommended for songs that have more than 3-4 instruments that require fuller, warmer sound as the SCL4 outputs a very crispy sound.
