Just wondered if anyone else has got the Shure E5C headphones?

I know they are so costly (I got a wonderful mum who took pity on me lol) but all I can say is WOW. They are the most amazing headphones I have listened to. They are great for both when I am doing sound for bands as they block out all noise and my minidisc. In fact on November 5th I couldn't hear a single firework outside while listening to music through them, which to me shows how good they are.

I would recommend them to anyone. Here is the spec of them


Speaker Type: Dual Live Performance Drivers
Sensitivity (at 1kHz):
122dB SPL/mW
Impedance (at 1kHz): 1
10 Ohm
Cable Length:
1.55m (62 inches)
Net Weight: 31g (1.1oz)
Input Connector: 3.5 mm (1/8") gold-plated stereo plug.


Shure's top-of-the-line earphone model delivers the same reference quality audio enjoyed by professional musicians. Dual Live Performance Drivers coupled with an Inline Crossover faithfully reproduce precision highs, natural mids, and full-bodied bass - ideal for enhancing your listening experience with portable MP3, DVD, and CD players as well as all other audio sources. But beware. These phones are so good that recordings made with lower level compression systems like MP3, will be exposed like never before. That said, the clarity is phenomenal with a bass heavy response that will enhance every music listeners’ experience, though it’s probable that classical, jazz, and vocal lovers will come off best.

Naturally, like the other phones in their range, the E5Cs come with a range of ear plugs so that you can ensure a bespoke fit for your phones. The E5c is also compatible with custom-moulded sleeves, made by a hearing specialist, for the ultimate in fit and comfort. The cables are Memory-Fit, which means they retain their shape around the ear, allowing them to pass behind the ear out of sight and out of the way for a more refined, discreet, convenient and secure appearance.

Lightweight, only 31g, the E5Cs stow away neatly in their compact carrying case while the volume level control allows for comfortable listening from any high-output audio source, such as airplane armrests.
