Customer Reviews

Excellent, but… by J. Friedman
The headphones provide superb audio quality (not that I can compare them to the Shures). But i was never able to get them to be really comfortable in my ear. Maybe its a pitfall of all earbuds, or maybe just my ears. Maybe. Also, they get kinda gross and earwax-y after much use.

Great product by dsgnermom
This product is so good at canceling noise out that my college children had no problems sleeping through noisy roommates and didn’t even hear the alarm going off in the morning.

Excellent Sound, Superb Noise Reduction, Great for Travel by Mishka
I travel on airplanes for business a lot. And, when I’m home, I’m a musician playing guitar in a wide range of music - jazz, Brazilian and blues. I listen to music a lot. Sound quality is very important to me - I want earphones that are as accurate as possible while providing a wide dynamic range. And, when I’m on the airplanes, I want to drown out all as much of the noise as possible and listen to my iPod. At first, I was skeptical about these in-ear earphones by Etymotic Research. They were less expensive than others. But, I had a strong recommendation from a friend and gave these a try. Wow.

The sound quality is great no matter what I’m listening to. The vocals are incredible with detail and an amazing clarity. So far, no matter what type of music I’m listening to, I’m very happy with the quality.

Most of the in-ear earphones are annoying - they fall out of your ears, they don’t seal properly. I followed the simple directions to insert them properly and they seal perfectly.

Now, let’s talk about noise reduction. Put these in your ears and everything becomes quiet. Very quiet. The drone of the airplane engines, general cabin noise, and much of the conversation around me was reduced in level. I found a couple of benefits to this - it’s less stressful and more relaxing when these earphones are in my ears and I can concentrate on listening to the music.

Anything I don’t like about these? The connection cord to the earphone seems (note I said seems) to be fragile - I don’t think it is, but I’d recommend following the instructions that tell you specifically to remove the in-ear earplugs by pulling the plastic of the earplug, not the cord. Makes logical sense.

So far, these phones have been with me on 9 roundtrip flights ranging from 2 hours per leg to over 5 hours per leg. And, they’ve performed beautifully. I also like the small carrying case. Nice touch.

Very Disappointed in Reliability by Robert V. Allegretti
Thought I’d treat myself to an ipod upgrade. Constant eartip and filter problems in a year. After about 2+ years one side shorted. Something this expensive should last longer and have a much better warranty.
