Hello all,
Can someone please tell if these units are the same. My local music
store doesn't know the difference either. I would like to use these in
a live application with my band. I'm also finding out that the "c"
series is more for ipod use. Is this correct? Can I use e5c's
onstage? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The Shure site does not list an E5 model -- only the E5C.

I'd like to point out that Shure's spec page incorrectly lists the models'
efficiency as "sensitivity," which requires doing a bit of math to figure out
the relative output of each model. (They have significantly different spec'd
impedances.)

The C seems to stand for consumer.
