Cingular Go Phone: Shure E3g Gaming Edition Sound Isolating Earphones for Portable Gaming Devices Review

I own the Sony EX-71 earbuds and thought they were great compared to any other earbuds in the $40 range. In comparison, the E3g definitely has much greater clarity on the mids and highs. As low of a volume as I had using the EX-71, I could still turn the volume lower when using the E3g. Unfortunately, I found the bass to be richer using the EX-71. You can feel more of a bass reverb with the EX-71 versus the E3g. The E3g bass sounds tight and a flat. I don't like the foam pads that everybody uses. The middle-sized gray buds work great for me and look better. They are a tighter fit (literally pops out) than the middle-sized ones from the EX-71. I also picked the E3g over the E2g because I don't have to loop the cord around my ear.

As far as noise isolation, the E3g blocks out just a little more noise than the Sony EX-71 because of the slightly larger buds. Once you turn on the music (because of the mids and highs) it is much more effective at blocking out noise since your ears focus on the music. If you have $180 to burn, the E3g are the ones to buy but otherwise the Sony EX-71 is still a great buy. I still use both - E3g on the plane and EX-71 for workout (since I'm not sweating on my $180 headphones!!).
