Hi, first off i'd like to say that i've been a lurker here for a long long time, atleast a year and i've read some great advice and others things here.
Ok well here is my question where can i get the shure e2c for the cheapest price.
Also how well does it fit in your ear, for comparison i use my mdr-ex71's with the small earbud and i get a real good seal....
And finally, i have an ihp-100 (couldn't wait any longer for the ihp-120) and should I get or build some type of amp so that it will "sound better"

Thanks

I bought a pair on Ebay from a retailer with the "buy it now" option for a bit less than $80 shipped.

MacResQ has them for $89 and use coupon code HP4ME to get $10 off. Shipping was like $4 for me. Total was like $84. The coupon expires 12/15.

I just ordered them so I can't answer how well it fits in your ear yet. Hopefully, I'll get them Tuesday.

got mine on ebay for $80, although it looks like the cheapest on there right now is $99, but free overnite shipping.

(oops! they did. looks like they're $99 now. Sorry, it wouldn't let me delete my original message.)

thanks for all the responses. Now should i try to get or build an amp, or will it improve the quality just a little....

I didn't feel that the E2 really improved much with an amp. You could build yourself a little CMOY or a Mint Meta for now... but it's mostly out of interest than real gains.

If you move up to some other headphones eventually, you'll probably want to consider a good amp, but then the CMOY or Mint Meta might not be enough anyway.

JUST got a pair of E2Cs
Got em from http://www.microphonesolutions.com for 79 bucks.

I bumped up from a pair of EX71s as well, I think you'll be satisfied overall. Definitely more detail, the bass has punch, won't be as visceral as that of the EX71 but it'll be more defined... the thing I miss my EX71s for is comfort and design.. I thought this over the ear design would be real nice, but it's not all I thought it would be.. I'm going to do the EX mod (big thanks to Brohken and Night_85 for guiding me through the details on that) tonight, hope it'll help. The supplied tips aren't bad, just a bit more noticeable than the EX tips which I really couldn't feel.

How did you get them for 79 there, they're listed at 99?

Look for the "we'll beat any price" link, look for another store that sells em for 79, and email em with the 79 dollar store's link.

I chose to do that because I know microphonesolutions to be reliable.. ordered on Thursday, and received my order on Monday.

Did i mention they had to ship em' international?

thanks everbody, I'll be getting a pair of the e2c fairly soon. (one more odd job left) So i'll post my first thoughts about them when i get them.
