Features
Paradigm Shift In-Ear Headphone Design: The Paradigm Shift series in-ear headphones are the result of thirty years of sound research and product development. Paradigm's unique understanding of what makes a speaker sound great in a listening room is applied to the design of their in-ear headphones. Paradigm uses sophisticated measurement tools and proprietary algorithms while accounting for the psycho-acoustic effects of the ear structure in developing its design. This allows Paradigm to faithfully reproduce the performance of Paradigm's freestanding loudspeakers in an in-ear headphone.
E1 In-Ear Headphones: The Paradigm Shift E1 in-ear headphones are voiced matched to Paradigm's Monitor Series speakers. They employ a single 8mm super-neodymium driver in each earphone. These in-ear headphones deliver the full audio spectrum with unbelievable clarity and perfect tonal balance.
Multiple Ear Tips: The Paradigm Shift E1 in-ear headphones come with 3 size of silicone ear tips (s/m/l) to ensure a tailored fit that further maximizes overall sound quality and comfort.
Tangle Resistant Cable: The Paradigm Shift E1 in-ear headphones feature a tangle-resistant, cloth exterior cable terminated by a gold-plated 3.5mm connector for excellent signal transfer.
Carrying Pouch: The included carrying pouch helps to protect the in-ear headphones during storage and transport.

This Paradigm product truly does not disappoint. Every sound is pure, detail and clear, same as with the Bass (it has a very deep real bass sound with a true hard punch). Overall, well tuned just as their other speaker products.
