Good but may not be worth $180
By Tam Vu
I own the Sony EX-71 earbuds and thought they were great compared to any other earbuds in the $40 range. In comparison, the E3g definitely has much greater clarity on the mids and highs. As low of a volume as I had using the EX-71, I could still turn the volume lower when using the E3g. Unfortunately, I found the bass to be richer using the EX-71. You can feel more of a bass reverb with the EX-71 versus the E3g. The E3g bass sounds tight and a flat. I don't like the foam pads that everybody uses. The middle-sized gray buds work great for me and look better. They are a tighter fit (literally pops out) than the middle-sized ones from the EX-71. I also picked the E3g over the E2g because I don't have to loop the cord around my ear.As far as noise isolation, the E3g blocks out just a little more noise than the Sony EX-71 because of the slightly larger buds. Once you turn on the music (because of the mids and highs) it is much more effective at blocking out noise since your ears focus on the music. If you have $180 to burn, the E3g are the ones to buy but otherwise the Sony EX-71 is still a great buy. I still use both - E3g on the plane and EX-71 for workout (since I'm not sweating on my $180 headphones!!).

Got these to replace my conked out e2c's
By Just Anonymous
After a couple of years of heavy heavy use (I travel quite a bit through boats, planes, trains, and automobiles), my old trusty E2Cs conked out. They had been a fantastic set of headphones but I think I got the right headset cord snagged one too many times on passing objects. I went ahead and upgraded to the E3Gs (I did contemplate the E4Gs but couldn't justify to myself the extra $$$ yet).These were purely a replacement to the E2Cs but I did like the design of the E3s and E4s better (I looked a bit like an alien with the pointy E2s and I did wonder whether they'd be any sound difference. I didn't expect to hear any sound difference from the E2Cs to the E3Gs but I did. They just sounded richer, a bit louder, and fuller. The soft plugs that come with them were noticably more comfortable on me. I always used the silicone sleeves but now I'm using the little gray ones that it comes with.Overall, fantastic experience with these. I do mostly airplane travel and these really do isolate me from the noise and the gray foams aren't as sensitive at transmitting noise from rustling of the cord like in some of the older models. I own two Bose headsets too (the older and newer model). I like them but I always have limited space when I travel and overall, I think I get more isolation from the in-ear design of the Shures but there are advantages to the Boses (I prefer them for intercontinental travel as they're more comfortable over the very long distances). They're very different headsets just FYI. I hesitated to compare at all but they are headsets.I know these little in-ears are either a love em or hate them affair. Sorry can't predict your particular experience and hope I don't steer anyone in the wrong direction. They worked for me and I did notice the difference in the upgrade from E2C to E3Gs. I wonder if there's a noticable difference with the E4Gs? Maybe when these snag on something one too many times, hopefully a few years from now.

A Strong and Very Solid Performer
By Mark
I like the Shure E3G. I don't think of them as the ultimate in-ear-monitor experience, but they've given me much more than a lot of headphones I've listened to and with a recent bought of aggressive pricing-cutting on their current stock, Shure is working hard to change the E3G from a PSP-owner's status symbol to something like a bargain for portable audio lovers.The sound that a user is going to out of a pair of in-ear-monitors, (Shure's E series, or Etymotic's ER6i/Er4, Westone monitors, etc.) depends on a number of factors which rapidly make any accurate assessment of their performance problematic. All in-ear-monitors work by putting the sound source into just the right place in the auditory canal for all the frequencies in the music or other listening you do and then sealing out external sounds so you can get accurate sound at a volume that is less likely to destroy your hearing and any use of in-ear-monitors involves an arrangement of factors which some may find not for the faint-hearted.The E3G is no exception. They have to be placed *just right* in the ear canal, your sound source has to have just the right of base level for the music you're listening to through them or your music will become flat or take on strange emphasis.Once you get it right though, the Shure E3s can be a revelation. I use my headphones for foreign language study programs and for music and the accuracy of the Shure E3G is very good for both jobs and at its best, it is a revelation.Two examples (using a sony MZ-NH600D Mini-Disc Walkman with levels adjusted for the sound source and using the yellow foam eartips):1. Topic Entertainment's "Total Immersion Japanese" demonstrated not only enough clarity for me to hear every nuance of what the speaker had to say but for me to hear artifacts in the material introduced by the recording process--a tiny halo of white noise before and after each phrase--and even flaws in the isolation of the recording studio itself in the sound of passing cars.2. Peter Gabriel's, "Passion: Music for the Movie, the Last Temptation of Christ, tracks 1 and 2, 'the feeling begins," and "Gethsamene" displayed some very good nuances including the breathiness of the wooden flutes and a very sexy separation from the overlapping percussion.All in all, however, the best thing about the E3G's is not their base-response but their basic, meat-and-potatoes accuracy. They allow someone like me with poor hearing not only to hear the music but to hear the subtleties that went into the studio work behind the music.Physically speaking, they are far, far more robust than the Etymotic Er6/Er6i and they are much better thought out in terms human factors engineering like getting them into and out of your ears without damaging them. The units come with a pocket-sized, semi-rigid, woven nylon case with a cord-spool inside (the best such item included with *any* monitors on the market) to protect your investment as well as a number of ear-tips designed to offer a compromise between comfort and isolation. Of the last, the yellow, crush-and-expand foam units offer by far the best isolation and base response (and thus, the best sound) but at the cost of their fragility and the need to change them often.I give the E3G four stars that would be definitely be a five if Shure had given the units just a smidgen more base response and made replacement foam eartips slightly less expensive (approximately $20 for 10 pairs), they would be a lot closer to perfect then. As things stand, with their current pricing, I have no regrets about having voted for them with my money.
