Get Away From it All


Sound isolating headphones allow users to block out outside noise and let their music take over their ears for a much more pleasurable and detailed listening experience. If you’re looking to get away from everything and just enjoy your music, the Shure E2C headphones will most certainly get the job done.

Try this – put your fingers in your ears. Let everything else drown out and listen closely. You can hear your own heart beat. You can hear your lungs draw in and release each breath. Now imagine the ends of your fingers have high definition speaker drivers on them; this is the experience you get with Shure headphones – nothing short of incredible. Suddenly, you’ll hear things you’ve never heard before in songs you’ve heard fifty times. The bass is rich and deep – granted, these headphones can’t vibrate your chest like a 12” subwoofer can, but your eardrums can’t tell the difference. The treble is crisp, sharp, and cool; vocals as clear as listening to a live acoustic session. These things are seriously the crème of the crop.

In addition to their noise-canceling qualities, these headphones are much more comfortable than normal headphones and are fit to be worn for many hours at a time without discomfort. Whether you’re walking around, on an airplane, or even – gasp – in class, you’ll be able to leave and get into your own little world with whatever music you choose. Naturally, these aren’t the $15 Philips headphones at Walgreens. The hit to your wallet is a rather hefty MSRP of $99.99 although Amazon carries them for $68. For a slightly lighter wallet you can shoot for Sumajin’s $45 sound isolating SEP-001 headphones, or if money is not an issue, the $220 Shure E4c’s are a very nice upgrade that are much smaller and lighter, but pack the same sound quality.
