Paradigm claims that the tuning of the E3m was inspired by their Signature Series loudspeakers, and it is easy to imagine speakers putting out the same sort of powerful, visceral bass the earphones produce. The low end is full and deep, easily reaching down into the subbass frequencies and offering great rumble and impact. Sound (6.9/10) – The general sound signature of the Paradigm Shift E3m is bass-biased, with a laid-back midrange and similarly relaxed treble. This is easily remedied by using longer aftermarket eartips that position the housings farther out in the ear The E3m can be worn both cable-up and cable-down but the sharp rear corners of the housing and stem tend to contact the outer ear, potentially causing discomfort for some users. Microphonics (4/5) – Mild when worn cord-down and pretty much nonexistent with over-the-ear wearĬomfort (3.5/5) – The housings use an ergonomic, off-axis design (a-la AKG K3003) and the stock tips are of good quality and easy to get a good seal with. Isolation (3/5) – Good for a dynamic-driver earphone A mic/remote unit with an unusually small single button is located on the right-side cable. The biggest issue is the lack of strain relief on housing entry and at the y-split, which may result in the nylon cable sheath fraying over time. The cabling is nylon-sheathed but seems to resist kinks and tangles very well. The nozzle is protected by a metal filter and the entire construction feels nice and solid. A second, plastic piece flares outward at the rear and presents a rather large Paradigm Shift logo.
