The Shure E5c is Shure's top-of-the-line model, offering the richest possible listening experience. Dual high energy micro-speakers capture the high- and low-frequencies, while an in-line electronic crossover separates these outputs. You can hear your music like never before, where subtle details are brought forward for a lush, complete listening experience.

Sound Isolating Technology

The Shure E5c's in ear design, using foam or flex sleeves, naturally blocks background noise. This allows lower listening volumes in loud environments. No batteries or extra equipment are needed for sound isolation.

Dual High Energy Micro-Speakers with Extended Frequency Response and Level Attenuator

The Shure E5c's micro-speakers are of Shure's highest-quality construction. Each earphone contains dual micro-speakers, separating high- and low-frequency range; an in-line electronic crossover optimally separates these outputs, while a level attenuator allows comfortable listening levels for any high-output audio source. The Shure E5c earphones provide the richest possible listening experience.

Personal Fit Kit

Because every ear is different, Shure E5c's earphones come with a pair of disposable foam sleeves, a pair of triple-flange sleeves, three pairs (small, medium, large) of flex sleeves, and three pairs (small, medium, large) ultra-soft flex sleeves to ensure a personalized fit.

Secure In Ear Design

The soft, flexible sleeves in the Fit Kit gently contour the inside of the ear for a comfortable, secure fit.

Memory-Fit Earphone Cables

Once formed, the Shure E5c's cables retain their shape around the ear, allowing for a more convenient, secure fit. The Shure E5c's cables pass behind the ear - out of sight and out of the way - to provide a more comfortable, discreet fit.

Lightweight Construction

Weighing only 31g, the Shure E5c is lightweight and comfortable for any portable listening application.

Earphones Carrying Case

The Shure E5c comes with a stylish, compact carrying case. The case allows for an easy, tangle-free way to store your earphones.

Sure E5c

Rating: 9/10

Before I purchased these earphones I was using the Sure E3c's. I used to think that it couldnt get any better than that, but one day they broke down on me :(. I was just about to buy another pair when I saw the Sure E5c, after umming and arring I decided to do it, a decision I will never regret. When I first plugged them into my iPod I was a little dissapointed in them, the bass seemed fairly weak but the highs were beautifuly crisp. It was much more suited to a hifi or my computer where it realy was able to show off. I listen to a range of music from clasical to heavy rock and the earphones never fail to amaze me, i was able to hear detail I could not even get from the 3's. The bass can go to new defenitions of low without distorting and the mids and highs and impecably accurate.
On the comfort side I would have to say that once you are used to them being in your ear you wont even notice they are there. But there are rare occasions when you just dont want to have them in, this is the only downfall to them, and the same to all in-ear ear phones.
I would highly recomend these to anyone after a pair of In-ear ear phones but be warned, after listening once you wont settle for anything less. Only sujestion would be to get a portable headphone amp for Mp3 players to show the Sure's potential.

  • How to fit Shure E-Series Headphones

    Shure Sound Isolating Earphones are ideally suited for use with portable MP3, DVD, and CD players as well as any listening device with a 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) stereo jack.

To enjoy the superior sound isolation and the rich, studio-quality sound of the E Series, it is important to fit your earphones properly into your ears.
