Review on 🎧 Enhance Your Listening Experience with Etymotic Research Isolator Noise Isolating Earphones by Maria Botello

These headphones are fantastic. I bought them to wear when riding my motorcycle. I wear a full-face helmet and even then, without hearing protection, I am faced with deafening wind and street noise. I've used custom ear tips, foam ear tips, Bose QC20 noise-cancelling headphones, and several other products in the past when I was looking for a way to protect my hearing while delivering clear, quality sound, but couldn't find a suitable one Find a solution that offered adequate hearing protection but was comfortable to wear. That's how it was until now. In my own experience, the MK5s offer at least as much noise cancellation as the best foam earbuds I've worn before, and because the MK5s are easier to put on (I use a flanged tip so there's no pinching or pinching). requires twisting the tip, unlike foam eartips), I prefer using them even more. I ride long distances quite a bit and usually wear them 8, 10, 14 hours at a time and they are very comfortable. UPDATE IN 3 YEARS: After the first year of use I switched from flanged tips to Comply foam tips. The flange tips caused pain in the ears (mainly the right ear) after about 3 or 4 hours of continuous use. With Comply's advice, my comfort extended an additional 2-3 hours in most cases.
