Wow, BEST deal on Shure In-Ear head phones
Here's the deal, SCL3's and SCL4's (white only) . They list for $200, and $300. A good deal on these is around $149 and $249. They are on sale for $59 and $79
SCL3 Link SCL4 Link Guitar Center has the same deal. Guitar Center SCL3 Guitar Center SCL4 Looks like Musician's Friend and Guitar Center might be the same company. 8) From what I understand, they will not be available for shipping until January 8th but they are taking orders now. Bro's, I know some of you are not big fans of Shure E2's ( now called SCL2), mainly because of comfort reasons, but the SCL3's and SCL4's are a lot more comfortable, smaller, and easier to wear. The new "black foamies" and "soft rubber" inserts give excellent seal that improves bass response. Some might find the bass a bit thin, but adequate and accurate. The mids and hi's are exceptional (especially on the SCL4's), sound quality is open, and dynamic, making these great for jazz, classical, and vocal material. They play rock/pop/hip-hop just fine, but if you need bass boost, use the equalizer to add bass. The bass response is a bit better on the SCL3's but a bit flat on the hi's. Honestly, both are excellent sounding canal phones, and at the prices offered, it's a deal that can't be beat. Remember, this deal is for the white ones only. I personally don't care for white, but at that price, there is NO better deal out there in terms of build quality and sound quality.

Yes they are sister companies. I will forward this to our lead singer, he's been wanting them for a long time. Thanks for the heads up!

yeah, I heard their adds on the radio this morning. I was like shit, $200 ear buds, you got to be kidding me. Still, $79 still seems like a lot.

Thanks for the heads up on this deal. I never thought I would spend $100 on earphones, but I finally broke down some years ago and bought the the cheapest set of Shure's available. All I can say is once I got the proper fit I was hearing different things from music I had listened to all my life.

Wow, that's a fantastic price. I have the E2Cs, but if I'm reasonably happy with those (including comfort) would there be much a point in upgrading to the SCL3?

Great deal, thanks for sharing. Might be worth adding an extra pair to rotate through.
