I would have to recommend the Westone Um1 over the shure e2c. For a couple more dollars ($100 anywhere online) you can get these fantastic earphones. Not only are these earphones unanimously voted above the e2c for sound quality, they have a comfort level that far surpasses the shures. In addition, the comfort fit foam tips on the UM1 block out up to 40db of sound and allow for great sound immersion. I think Westone is one of the best kept secrets of quality earphones. They have editors choice awards from numerous audiophile websites. And to top it all off, Westone is made in the USA.
