I'm after some E2c's for when I'm out and about as I'm not always comfortable wearing my ER-4P's out as I fear them getting trashed and also the microphonic's get on my nerves abit, so I think the E2c's will be ideal just for normal every day use out and about as I wouldn't be partically distraught if they died. However, I've heard at least 5 different people here and at iPod Lounge say they have experianced problems with the E2c's cable, near the plug...far too many for it to be a coincedence. Have many of you E2c owners ever had a problem with them?

everything's goin fine with my shure and iPod.....

what kind of problem did they have?

j|!

 

[darkfusion]

Problems with the cable near the plug, when the cable was moved it would cut out and stuff

I suppose I could always go with the PX200's if the E2c's are going to be a concern.. *shrugs*

 

[jacopo]

wow!
seems a big problem!!

but their sound is so lovely....

j|!

I had a problem with the cable. The sound would cut out if the cable was touched near the connector. I sent them back and got a new pair. No problems so far.

Surprising...the cord on the E2c is beefier than most....

 

[Oddball]

I've also had the cord problem. It only happened after using the spool pouch though, I think the cord was strained. Just don't the winder or be really careful with it. I now use an Altoids tin to hold my Shure e2s. Shure replaced my phones without question but it was still a pain in the neck when I didn't have them

 

[darkfusion]

Yeah that's exactly the problem other people are saying they've had.

I guess I'll just risk it and not use the winder in the case...

Cheers.

JUST got a new pair of Shure E2Cs, not problems here of any sort with the cord... except the fact that I think I look kinda stupid with a cord running down the back and as a result try to wear a jacket when I'm using the shures...

I had the same problem with my E2c's. They were replaced no questions asked. I have continued to use the winder for the last month or so without problem. Maybe Shure has fixed the problem. To my untrained ear they sound great. I am awaiting a set of PX200's as backup and to use around the house until I decide on my next purchase. I hate to say it, but I may be addicted.

You can still have the cord over your ear but then bring it down infront if you instead of down your back.

 

[bLue_oNioN]

yeah that's true. but then the cord's so damned long... when it's going down my back, i can at least make it unobtrusive by tucking it away into my bag

that's one of my biggest gripes about the e2c, it's just not as convenient as the sony EX71s were..

 

[PYROTAK]

my e2cs have no problems so far.

i got em like on tuesday.

they are sweet canal phones, especailly after a 48 hour burn in.

when the music is on its like 100% isolation even with the foamies i can't hear anything.

when people talk its like im deaf

 

[Hunterboy55]

hmmmm yeah i can see how this problem can happen. If you use the winder and put the plug in the cup area and then wind it up then the wire is being bent and pinched... which is why i wont use the winder case as much now, but hey you get a 2 year warranty....

I have posted before that I thought the winder bent the "y" portion funny and seemed lame (not LAME). This is a poor design on an otherwise great accessory.
