That's Shure's "Sound Isolating" technology.

Son increiblemente buenos. Suenan muy pero muy bien y son robustos (los uso bastante desde hace 6 meses y estan como nuevos). El cable es un poco grueso pero lo acepto porque no conozco cables mas finos y blandos que no se corten con el tiempo.

I am giving this 2 stars because I paid $97.99 on Nov 13th, 2007. And now on Nov 28th, 2007 (as I come back to review this after a few weeks with the product), the price is now $159.00. DO NOT BUY these for that price. You can get these cheaper elsewhere, plus there are better options at this price point. (Namely, Shure's new line of earbuds. These earbuds are the old model, which is why you can find them cheap.)
Other than the price, these are 4 stars. I have a Sony MDR-V6 over the ear cans that I use at work, and a Sennheiser HD-580 cans + headphone amp that I use at home.
The positives:
I was looking for a few things when I bought this: I want to use these at work and not have *anyone* hear what I am listening to at loud volumes. The Sony's I have do a good job of blocking out sound, and they are reasonable at keeping sound in, but at loud volumes you can hear what is being played while not wearing the cans. With these earbuds you can run at max volume and no one will know what you are playing. So I am happy with these for work use.
Also the sound is great on these as others have stated (more on this in the negatives section). These are not as good as the Senn's + headphone amp, but as a naked out of the box listening experience these are superb.
The noise isolation is outstanding as others have said. These are great for zoning out in an office in order to get alot of work done with no distractions. If your phone is low, you probably won't even hear it ring.
The cord length on these are fine even though it is shorter than the E3cs. Frankly, I would probably think the E3c cord length is too long if this is the shortened version. Also, this is the *same exact* headphone as the (more expensive) E3cs in everything other than cord length. I would definitely buy these over that if you can save even $10, unless you really think you want a long cord. As a 5'10" guy, the cord is more than adequate for putting my ipod in my hip pocket.
The negatives:
These do take a while to get used to inserting properly. This is a big negative that really distracted from my immediate enjoyment of these. For the first week I was constantly paranoid that I didn't have them in correctly. This also leads to the next point:
Even when you learn how to insert these properly, it still takes time to insert properly. These are not good for when you have to constantly pause the music to answer a phone or have a conversation. You can't simply just take them out of your ear and place them quickly back on.
Although I haven't tried, I doubt these would be good for running. They might be fine for a stationary bike.
Summary:
I heartily recommend these buds if you want maximum sound quality while also having great sound isolation (both for you and for surrounding people). For pure sound quality without isolation concerns, there are probably better options in this price range (I would recommend Sennheiser full cans + a head phone amp).

I upgraded from Shure e2's to these and I'm very, very pleased with the sound and comfort differences. The sound-isolation is decent with the black and clear flex sleeves, and the sound quality is fine. But with the yellow foam sleeves, the sound quality is even clearer because of much better sound-isolation. Also, the earphones are much more comfortable with the foams. The only problem with using these specific sleeves is that they need to be changed out unlike the gray and clear sleeves.
These are great earphones if you have the money to spend.

I researched these (and many others) thoroughly before choosing the E3g's. Compared to other earphones at this price point the E3g's are well-made and perform extremely well. Bass is (to my ear) just about perfect. Obviously these are quite efficient as well. It was necessary for me to reduce the volume significantly so be careful when you first use them. Clarity is excellent and compares very favorably to my studio headphones. A common complaint concerns fit but I have not experienced that issue. Shure provides quite a variety of foam covers and it seems likely most people should be able to find a good fit. For the price i paid (under $100) I can't imagine you could do better as long as fit is not an issue.

These headphones are pretty amazing. for the price on amazon (i bought them for $105) they are solid set of headphones. there's really no need to go into big detail so i'll just make a quick list of pro's and con's (for all of you who are lazy like i am and hate reading long reviews)
pros:
Amazing sound quality
Really isolates sound (a car zoomed 2 feet in front of me and i heard nothing but the music was listening to)
Fits well into ears (once you get used to it)
cons:
you have to get used to the headphones fitting comfortably (usually depends on what foam thing you decide to put on)
could use a tiny bit more bass
really though for the price you get what you pay for. this is a solid, solid set of headphones, and i'd recommend it to anyone who's willing to shell out a benjamin. the reason why i'd give it a 4 and half stars instead of 5 is because they're not ideal for walking around with because when the cables hit your body or anything for that matter you can really hear the banging. I've decided to use it for when i listen to music in my dorm room or when i'm on a plane ride. for exercising, i stick to my ipod headphones.
hope this helped!
enjoy.
