Review on 🎧 Etymotic Research HF3: High-Fidelity Noise-Isolating In-Ear Earphones with Advanced 3 Button Microphone Control by Tina Miles

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The wire frays and the headphones deteriorate

The headphones themselves have very good noise isolation and sound. However, the biggest problem is the quality. I had 4 of these, two with a mic and two without a mic. All of them deteriorated before the age of one year. First, the wire frays very quickly in various places, so I had to tape it with small pieces of electrical tape. But the second problem is even worse, one of the headphones is always either left or right, and I mean really, always fails within a year. So I had to send them both in for a warranty replacement, which they did and replaced both earbuds. So I became the owner of 4 of them. Finally, the spare parts also broke within a year with the same problems. At that point I was out of warranty and had to dispose of it. I have to say that it's a pity that such an expensive product suffers badly from quality issues. Therefore, I strongly do NOT recommend this company. Save money and time and look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Don't waste time
Cons
  • Long
