Adidas FWD-01 vs Shure E

The Shure E makes for a mediocre Earphone and should be avoided by the majority of people.

In the case of the Adidas FWD-01, however, we were unable to find enough data to come to any meaningful conclusions.

It's very likely that you can find some considerably better alternatives on the market.

If you're still interested in reading more about the Shure E, however, here's a quick summary of what we know about it:

The Shure E hasn't managed to perform well enough to earn a place in any Earphone roundups conducted by sources that do their own, high-quality, hands-on testing. That alone makes it a hard product to recommend.

Moving on to the Adidas FWD-01: it has done really well in a number of roundups done by sources that perform objective and reliable testing, including Expert Reviews, Good Housekeeping, and The Independent - it won the "The best running headphones for battery life" title from Expert Reviews, "Best near-wireless headphones for the gym" from Good Housekeeping, and "Ranked 2 out of 10" from The Independent. That points towards it being a cut above most of its competitors.

We also meant to do a direct Shure E vs. Adidas FWD-01 comparison of their ratings, but we, in spite of our best efforts, couldn't find any review scores for the Shure E.

Finally, we wanted to pit the Adidas FWD-01 against the rest of its competition. Thankfully, we were able to find enough data to properly examine its review performance and found that it, on average did worse than most other Earphones - it managed to get an average score of 6.0, compared to the overall Earphone average of 7.3.
