🎧 Enhance Your Listening Experience with Etymotic Research Isolator Noise Isolating Earphones Review

This is my third or fourth pair of Etymotics with headphones. Apart from the fact that there is a short circuit in the line after a year of use, I was very satisfied with the past. But this time I'm not like that. Here's why: 1) No power. I've been using them for about 20 hours now and they still don't work. I have to turn my Cowans to maximum volume just so they can be heard at medium volume. When I'm in the car they aren't loud enough. 2) Etymotic used to include plastic ear tips for larger…

*WHY* why did Etymotic decide to change the wiring to an already proven winner? I've bought about 5 of these pieces over the years. Why so much? Because one person in the house lost her, but he liked her. A couple has a permanent home with a laptop. A couple has a permanent home next to my bedside table. A couple eventually died of old age. Etc. I liked these. And they must have sold well. Then someone from the Etymotic bean counter department must have said that the quality of the wiring needs

I've been buying this brand for 20 years. They serve about 3-4 years and then fall out. This is the nature of headphones that are commonly used. I always spend around 60€. If you take the more expensive ones, they still fail in 3-4 years. The quality is the same. The trick to getting them in your ears is to moisten your lips. If you try to dry them out, you will hate them. Push them as deep as you can without causing pain. If you feel pain, insert it too far. It is extremely important to get a…

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…

I just couldn't find better headphones than the Etymōtic that matched and still have good noise isolation (not "cancellation" but - like earplugs - noise isolation/blocking) while still offering good quality sound, especially for jazz and classical music. I ride the subway almost every day and they offer great sound quality while blocking outside noise. I also use them on flights and they work well in these conditions. I've tried my friends' big and expensive noise-cancelling headphones while…

Lost the first and third pair of MK5, one in the case, one outside the case. On the second pair, the wires were worn out. I attached a gold ribbon to the black case and another to the gray wires. On the pavement, the case or the cables almost disappear. They sound great, are comfortable under helmets (Schubeth C3 Pro and E1) and are perfect for dampening wind and engine noise on the motorcycle (stock pipes) even without music. You can only hear someone wearing a helmet and headphones talking…

These are entry-level headphones from Etymotic Research, the company that put noise isolation on the map. (To be clear, this isn't noise-cancellation. It's an entirely different technology, and there seems to be a lot of understandable confusion over the difference.) People are willing to pay hundreds of dollars more for higher-end Etymotics. The sound quality is excellent, very transparent and natural, but without much bass content, so Kendrick Lamar fans should look elsewhere. For my taste…
