As all of you are aware the Apple in-ears just didn’t cut it; I took ‘em back. How heartless of me. Fellow CarbonStater, Bryce, informed me that Guitar Center was selling the white Shure SCL 3’s for $60 this weekend. $60, aren't they regularly $140? $60??!!!! I had to acquire them.
These in-ears are exactly what I expected. They sound pretty good and block outside noise very well. This model only comes with a single driver so the bass is a little thin but overall they have a rich sound. Shure gives you 4 completely different earpiece styles so you are bound to find one that fits.
When you say the bass is a little thin, would you say that these would be unacceptable for listening to R&B or other bass-centric music such as Jay-Z?
hm...it might be the case that the bass is soo overstated in those mixes that you would still get pretty good low end with these...nothing overpowering but it might sound more natural. I listened to a little kanye with them and it sounded full.
