Shure E2C06/15/2015 ByMark Robinson I purchased three sets of these headphones at the original price of 100.00 over three years. I lost a pair, and had the wire fail on a pair.These are really high end ear buds. When I saw them available from Trend Bazaar for so reasonable a price I purchased a pair as backup. Other than a bit shorter cord length, they might as well be new. I immediately bought two more pairs. Of those three over the last year my dog snapped the wire of one pair, the other two are in my car and camping pack. I recently purchased three more pairs. For all intents and purposes I have purchased 600.00 dollars worth of these great headphones for less that 50 dollars. These terrific sounding, great fitting and wearing headphones are an unbelievable deal. I cannot recommend strongly enough their value. I don't believe any competing 100$ earbud can really be much better and to compete with 200-500$ pairs would only require a separate headphone amplifier.
