AvatarX 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 just got a pair of shure e2cs from sim lim. Just got a couple of questions for those with a little more experience. 1. Which offers better sound isolation? the soft foamies or the rubber sleeves? 2. first impressions were that the headphones aren't particularly comfortable. My ears always get kinda raw after putting them in. Will this get any better over time or am i doing it wrongly? yeah thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andyto 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 (edited) hi, just wondering if you are interested in ordering the ultra soft sleeves for e2c. I want to get it, just wondering if anyone wants to share the cost. Edited October 8, 2005 by andyto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nakedtoes 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2005 I just recieved some free ultra soft sleeve samples from SHURE USA... they have very good customer service.... They get me 3 sizes to choose... however i dun like this kind of soft sleeves cause like the one same as sony EX71 and panasonic HJE50.. they isolation suck.. To me the hard clear sleeve isolates the best.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kube 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2005 I haven't tried foamy's yet...but rubber sleeves from the md33 are quite comfortable. When I wear them...it's almost as if I'm not wearing anything. Very comfy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
