I bought a pair of Shure E2c ear-buds a few years ago. I wanted something I could use in a plane, or mowing the lawn, and still hear the music without listening at ear bleeding levels.

It took a while to get used to having them in your ear, but once you do, it’s awesome. They’re great with bass, and because they’re stuck in your ear, they are kind of “noise-cancelling.” Great for flying.

Yesterday my wife handed them to me. Straight from the wash. I must have put them in my pocket after mowing the lawn over the weekend! Oh the horror!

But they still work.

I’m guessing they made it through the dryer too, otherwise they would s(h)urely have been dead. But they sound great, and they look better than they did when I bought them! Awesome.
