Etymotic Research ER2SE Studio Edition High Performance In-Ear Earphones (Detachable Dynamic Drivers, Noise Isolating, High Accuracy, Studio Grade Accuracy)

Product Information

Honestly I have no trouble with the L/R markings, though I can see how they'd be arse to put on in a hurry. I wish I could be okay with the fit, but even with the deep insertion I think they might be worth to pick up for me, and just get used to the insertion.

With my Hifi experience, i could put ER2SE as a bookshelf speaker in a small well treated room but lacking a subwoofer. So while these earphones may not ooze fashion and style, they look clean, and they have a real sense of confidence and competence to them. No instances of peaks or harshness are present here in nature unless the track itself is poorly recorded, mastered, or sibilant prone.I tried the cylindrical foam tips included in the box, but for some reason I couldn't get the right seal, hence the bass was underwhelming and they sounded kinda squeaky. From the start, they’ve made earplugs and hearing aids, so at a certain point, it just made sense for them to bring their expertise to the IEM market. It has taken me awhile to get this impressions out due to work and business travel, but I have been able to sit down finally and get this impressions out. This pair of MMCX earbuds comes with a removable braided cable and eight pairs of ear tips, one pair of which is memory foam. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.

It matches GRAS' RA0045 frequency response almost perfectly and its mic has equivalently-low distortion levels.To equalize the headset for mobile use, we recommend amplifying the sub-bass around 10dB and cutting the 1-5kHz range to about 8dB. The treble crashes, strings, etc, have slightly more body, but seem to be missing some micro definition. The Etymotic ER2SE proves an excellent option for listeners still holding tight to their beloved headphone jacks. But all together they seem rather confined to the width of your head, with no real depth or width to the stage. Every year, at least a dozen IEM’s go through the same cycle; they’re released, pick up traction, get positive reviews, sell like hotcakes, and then finally vanish from the public eye in a barely visible puff of smoke.
