That was exactly my initial opinion, but I bit the bullet and after having them (Shure E3s) for about 3 months, you can't pry these away from me! Like gresch, I compare the Sure and some active noise canceling headphones on my last round trip cross country flight, and these ear buds easily won hands down. The Shure do come with different size buds and the key is to find the right one that fit your ears properly, else, it will sound as crappy as a $10 buds. Best of all, these ear buds are so efficient that I barely have to turn up my mp3 player, which means extra playing time as well! Definitely worth it, IMO.
