How are sound isolating earphones different from other headphones?
The primary differences are their listening position-where they are worn in relation to your ear-and sound quality. Headphones generally enclose your ear or rest on top of it. Regular earphones, like the earbuds sometimes packaged with CD players, sit on the outside of the ear. Sound isolating earphones are unlike any of these products. They are designed to fit inside your ear, where they create an isolated listening area. Working in tandem with this isolation, Shure E Series earphones utilize small high energy micro-speakers to deliver a rich and detailed sound experience that far surpasses most portable headphones.
