 excellent warranty and product April 28, 2008
I bought the E2c 8 months ago, 2 weeks ago I started listening static; apparently was something wrong with the cable, I returned the earphones to Shure for warranty repair and yesterday I received a package from Shure with a letter inside apologizing because the E2c is no longer in stock and there is no way to repair my earphones, in exchange they send me a new pair of SCL2 for free.
There is a great difference in the quality between the E2c and SCL2, the SCL2 has a more flexible cable and a deeper bass
I recommend this earphones they have a good quality and excellent customer service, which is rare to find nowadays, it took me only a week to receive my new SCL2.

I had e2c's, and the wires started to crack (this is a common problem that Shure knows about- it has to do with the type of plastic that is used for the insulation and the way it reacts with certain skin chemicals, but ther's no better material available). Shure replaced them for free under the 2 year warranty. The e2c model has since been replaced by the more expensive se2's, but Shure has re-packaged the e2c's as the SCL2. According to Shure, they are the same phone, just repackaged. But...
I agree completely with the previous poster who said that he feels that these sound better than the e2c's. The bass IS deeper, and the sound overall is more detailed and richer. Maybe because they are new? I don't know... all I know is I am very happy with the SCL2's.
One change that I do not like- the hard case has had the inner spool removed, so you no longer have anything to wrap the cord around. I wrap it around my fingers and then jam everything into the case. It goes in fine, but is a mess when it comes out. Shure yanked the spools because they were finding that people were wrapping the cord too tight and causing premature failure of the wires.
Shure's warranty program and service is outstanding. My new phones arrived only 1 week after I sent in my old ones. I just wish I had kept the old case :( but that's really a personal choice kind of thing anyway.
Better than the E2c April 10, 2008

I got a pair of E2c's from Amazon 22 months ago and got quite a bit of use out of them. About one month ago I noticed that the wires were cracking near the ear pieces which exposed the conductors. I didn't think they'd still be under warranty but I dug up my paperwork and they were; two whole years later! Anyway I sent them into Shure and less than two weeks later I get a pair of SCL2's in the mail.
Appearance-wise they're identical to the E2c pair I had. This time however I tried using the clear plastic ear pieces and I don't know if it's them but these immediately sound better than the E2c's. The bass is richer and it seems like the midtones are fuller.
While the E2c's were great I was never that impressed with the sound, especially compared to my sealed Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones. However these SCL2's compare favorably. I would get them again and I would buy more Shure products as they have a great product and super customer service.

Straight out of the container I would have rated these are POOR POOR POOR, not only no bass but just plain FLAT. I plugged them into my computer and had the MP3 player play one song in a hoop all night. Put them on in the morning to find I had full sound other than bass so I started playing with ear pieces until I had full sound. For those with little bass take your time the bass is there. I'm using the soft rubber ones and a different size in each ear. I have had three so called noise canceling headsets and other than the over the ear heavy sets this set blocks out noise or talk.
If you're "MOVING UP" from the E2C, you might reconsider March 31, 2008

I've used Shure E2C's for about 4 years (2 pairs). My most recent pair finally started wearing through the wire coating, and I have too much pride to just electrical tape them (not to mention there are dozens of holes in the insulation). I should note that purchased the clear version of these earphones, but am posting where most of the reviews have already been made.
So I decided it was time to replace the E2C's and wanted to see what my options were. I looked at the Shure SE110's and SE210's, but didn't find many favorable reviews (especially when juxtaposed with the E2C's). I peaked around at other brands but decided I've been too happy with Shure to risk it.
I settled on the SCL2's, assuming they were somehow better than the E2C's, given they are the "Pro" version of the same phones.
My initial reaction is that the sound is more homogenized than the E2C's. I don't feel like I'm listening to the band play live, I feel like I'm listening to them in The Matrix. The sounds feels more synthetic and less real. Given that I've used the E2C's for years, I confident the fit is not the issue; my ears know where they are supposed to fit.
I have read that there is a break-in period for these earphones; I tend to believe that as I've seen break-in periods on all types of speakers (car, home, computer, etc.) I'm 3 weeks in today, and I just hope this break-in doesn't take much longer.
All in all, the phones are very good. After listening for about 30 minutes, I don't really notice the sound being odd. If there is a lack of anything, I would say its treble, as I've had to play with the EQ a bit to get the highs where they should be.
If I had the choice, I'd probably move back to the E2C's. I'm still confident though that these SCL2's will break in.
That's my review for now. I'll do my best to come back and update this in a couple months, hopefully after the break-in.
>>>> UPDATE (6/4/08): Sure enough, the break-in did wonders for the sound quality of these headphones. I would now say these are at least as good as the E2C's, and I would buy these again without hesitation.
Another note is that the cord on these phones seems much more durable and flexible than the E2C's.
