Shure ear Buds

Advantages: Good sound quality,good product support
Disadvantages: a bit fiddly to fit at first

...way to get a perfect fit is to go to an hearing aid specialist and have moulds taken of the ear cavity into which thses units can be fitted. Shure actually reccommend this for a perfect fit. They also supply a number of differant sizes of ear plug to fit onto the speaker stem so try all sizes until a nice fit is achieved. These rubber plugs do tend to get a little dirty with a lot of use but can be cleaned with a weak soapy solution. Overall a brilliant earphone with excellent sound qualities although fitting into the ear can be a bit of a struggle but can be achieved with practice.Comes with a handy zip pouch to keep them safe too...

Review of Shure E3C

SHURE to impress

Advantages: very good sound across the range
Disadvantages: A bit tinny with guitar recordings

...This is a lovely little mic ideal for home recording. I'm not gonna bore you with the spec, but rather how does the recording quality sounds. Well while its obviously not up there with condensor mic's its a good solid choice for people who are recording voice and guitars on a home recording system. only problem I have encountered is the guitar sounds a bit tinny when I use this mic. I know I can tweek this through the mixing desk, but I own a beautiful Yamaha acoustic and I want its full resonance to be captured without comprimising the sound through digital mixing. Essentially this is not a major problem with the SHURE SM58 but I guess highlights the reason behind paying that bit more for a SHURE rather than going for a cheaper alternative. Another note is I've suffered hardley any feedback with this mic, which is good news when...

Shure E2 Sound Isolating In Ear Headphones

Advantages: Great sound, snug fit
Disadvantages: Lacking in Bass

...Shure are well known for their quality earphones so was the obvious choice in looking for a replacement to Apple's Ipod earphones. Are the impressive? Well they are in a number of ways. Firstly the sound offers great clarity you can really hear every sound. Also, they really are sound isolating, you cannot hear anything once these are in your ears. Beware of crossing the road as you won't hear a juggernaut from a foot away!! The only downfall is the lack of bass and aren't loud enough for my taste (the loudness may be down to Ipod rather than the earphones). Overall even though the bass isn't deep enough they do offer very good sound quality. These earphones come with 18 different sleeves so you can find the optimum fit. You may have to play around with these sleeves to find the best fit but once you do they are absolutely...

Review of Shure E2

These sound good, to be Shure!

Advantages: Not expensive, crisp sound.
Disadvantages: Bit fiddly at first

...Shure SE110 Sound Isolating Earphones ~~Background~~ I have been meaning to buy some 'in ear' earphones for some time for use with my iPod, especially for use when going on walks or bike rides. I have headphones which are fine for home use, but find when outside, external noise spoils my enjoyment. So I had a budget (less than £100) and I knew that I wanted in ear phones, and I did not want 'bass driven' earphones, as so many are. I should explain before I go any further what I mean by 'in ear' earphones, as all earphones are in ear in one way or another. The standard iPod earphones 'sit' just inside the ear; are one fit, and often get loose, or fit unevenly (as we all have slightly different ear sizes), they do not reduce or cancel out external noise. This applies to most standard earphones. 'In ear' earphones sit...

Review of Shure SE110-E

Earex ear drops

Advantages: A big help for hardened wax
Disadvantages: none

...Earache and toothache have to be two of the most uncomfortable conditions that anyone can suffer. The nagging pain of earache is very hard to relieve. Often as we get a bit older ear wax becomes a problem. The wax is produced in small glands situated inside of the ear canal, the glands produce a thin film of wax to keep our ears clean and help fight against any infection. If too much earwax builds up then that`s when the problem starts, my husband has suffered from hardened wax building up in his ears for a while now, it seems to be a problem that has worsened with age. If the wax builds up too much then his ear canals get really painful and the build up also starts to affect his balance and then he has to have them syringed by the Practise nurse at the local Doctors surgery. When you start to feel that your ears may be waxy...

Review of Earex Ear Drops

Hopi Ear Candles

Advantages: *
Disadvantages: *

... ~ Introduction ~ In the months leading up to my driving test and my January A-Level exams I started having frequent migraines. I used to get them less than once a year but I was now getting them every week. So willing to try anything that might prevent a migraine attack I started having Indian Head Massage (IHM). I've been having them for over a year now and they do really seem to help. When I went last month I told the therapist that I have been having lots more headaches (I'm quite stressed) and I'm starting to get mild migraines (not half as bad as they were before I started getting IHM). She did the IHM as usual but suggested that I book a Hopi Ear Candle instead of the IHM. I agreed, so on Wednesday I went for the appointment. ~ What are Hopi Ear Candles? ~ The candles used at the place I went to are made by...

Review of Hopi Ear Candles

Shure thing

Advantages: Robust
Disadvantages: Does not give the user ability to sing

...I have been using the same SM58 for nearly 10 years (and even then it wasn't brand new) in that time it has been subjected to all manner of phlegm, drunken (and un-requested) guest vocalists, alcohol spills and cigarette smoke and it still works beautifully. THE mic of choice for live performances, it has a great sound and is very durable. Admittedly it now has a slightly duller sound than the SM58 recently purchased by the guitarist in the band. but until the day it is broken beyond repair or lost I will remain faithfull to it - and would rush straight out to buy a new one. Value for money, quality, reliability the Shure SM58 has all of these qualities in spades. A must have for any serious musician...

Review of Shure SM 58 LC

Shure SM58 Microphone? Let's rock!

Advantages: Solidly made, excellent sound.
Disadvantages: Doesn't come with a record deal

...I was using Shure microphones in bands back in 1972 and they were noticeably tough and durable with their steel bodies. They had a great reputation even then although how good they sounded in the loud rock bands I was in is a matter best left to history. 'Ziggeeeeeeeee - plaaaaaaaaaaayed gui- tar-ar-arrrrrr!' Without the need for messing around with batteries like you'd get with a mike requiring an active power source or ghost power off a mixer, this is plug-and-go simplicity. It just works really well and requires no servicing or fussing about with. The SM57 is the uni-directional model shaped like a tube. This is the one shaped like a lollipop which means a lot to me because my mother was a lollipop lady. By that I mean that she had a long thin body and a big sticky head. The SM58 gives a lovely clear recording that puts...

'Ear This Wax Lyrical!

Advantages: Goes some way to relieving excess ear wax. Lats a long time
Disadvantages: Difficult to count the drops. Not a miracle cure for lots of excess ear wax.

...■■■ Price and Availability ■■■ My GP advised me to buy these ear drops and given that a prescription is currently £6.85, she suggested that I buy it over the counter at the cheaper price of £4.79 at Boots. The ear drops can be found in most chemists and supermarkets with a pharmacy: Superdrug Lloyds Pharmacy Morrisons Asda Tesco ■■■ Packaging ■■■ This comes in a cylindrical box with a bit of additional card with the 'bumph' at the side of it. (Hopefully the photo will demonstrate this more clearly). Inside the box is a small, 8ml little tube. The tube has a sealed cap that is easily 'broken' by twisting the screw top cap, a good idea as it shows that the product has not been used or tampered with. Once the cap is taken off there is a small...

Review of Otex Ear Drops

Ear, have a look at this!

Advantages: cute
Disadvantages: retired

...Over the years I have had many a collection. One which I adored was my TY Beanie collection! My friends and I all collected the soft and cuddly beanie teddies, so we were able to tell one another of our stories and most recent purchases, which was great fun. Between us we had most, if not all of the beanies out then, and I still have a few too. One of the beanies is a rabbit, who goes by the name of Ears. He is a cute little bunny, lying softly on his stomach. He is a very attractive colour too - a rich chocolate brown shade, with the insides of his ears and a patch on his nose being white. He also has a little fluffy white cotton tail. His little pink whiskers and beady eyes add to his cuteness - he is definitely one of the best TY rabbits as far as appearance is concerned. To the touch, Ears is very soft with his fine fur. If you...
