      4.0 out of 5 stars Great sound. Hate the mmcx
      Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2022
      Verified Purchase
      Bought the ER2SE for an upgrade over my Final Audio E500 EQed to Harman. Found a lot on my sound preference after owning this IEM.

      Driver capabilties (Transcients, Timbre) were great for the price. It EQs well enough but even after EQ it doesnt rumble to my preference.

      Hate the mmcx, terrible connector especially since mine was positioned weird so when there was up or down input it would cut. This was deemed defective by Amazon, so it probably wont happen to you.

      The dual flange ear tips fit me best. Best balance of noise isolation and quick to put on.

      If you can get it in the US and not buying into EU it is great for the price, just not enough bass for my bass head preference even after EQ.

      3.0 out of 5 stars Meh sound. Poor cable
      Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2023
      Verified Purchase
      The sound is pretty flat with poor fidelity. I find myself cranking the volume for lack of bass and mumbly audio. I figured I would switch the low quality cable at some point but of course it has a proprietary connector. The cable is already turning to static on the right after two months of use.
      On the positive side it fits and is comfortable to wear for long periods which is why I went with this over better choices.
      I wouldn't recommend them unless the comfy form factor is your top priority.

      What can I say. The fit is definitely unusual
      But the results...
      I am an ex pianist. And now I feel like I've been deprived of a high quality sound for too long.
      These are easily one of the best iems on the market - if you can fit them right.

      I cried when I listened to some of the pieces and songs - when I realized how much I've been missing.
      I could not have expected such a crystal clear sound for under a 100.
      These are not v-shapes, but very balanced flats. If you only care about bass, treble and no mids - these are not for you

      1.0 out of 5 stars Sound is fabulous, but fragile cable
      Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2023
      Verified Purchase
      TL; DR
      First impression was “impressive.” But if my sample is typical of the build quality, it is a waste of money.

      I’ve had the ER4, this earphone’s “big brother”, for a while. Their sound is amazing. I wanted a less expensive set to use for air travel, so I thought I’d try these.

      First impression: sound quality is excellent. Very similar to the ER4s at a small fraction of the price. They easily beat any Bluetooth buds I’ve tried, and I’ve tried quite a few.

      Noise isolation is superb, very bit as good as the ER4s. This makes for a delightful listening experience.

      The deep insertion is certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but I find them comfortable. (Like the ET4s, I use different size tips to get a proper fit in each ear.)

      Those characteristics, combined with the compact travel size and the competitive price for the sound quality would have made them an ideal set to use on my frequent airplane flights for work.

      If this were the end of the story, I’d be rating them 4.5 to 5 stars.

      But…there is a (BIG) problem:
      I started by burning them in: indoors, at a desk, completely stationary, with no stress on the system (earphones, cable, adapter).

      After (perhaps) a dozen uses over a couple of weeks (certainly fewer than 24 hrs), THE CABLE TO THE LEFT EARPIECE NOW WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. To get it to work means positioning it “just so”. If it gets bumped, the sound goes away.

      This is a basic function of the device. I’ve had free “headsets” distributed by the airlines last longer than this. Minus 3 stars.

      A replacement cable is available, though. The price? Within a “value meal” of a whole new set. More star deductions.

      If I could give 0 stars, I would. Don’t waste your money like I did.

      Note: I originally rated this product higher. After reflection, I adjusted the rating to a more actuate reflection of the overall product.

      Original they were purchased for classical listening but after my gaming headset died I gave these a try and they were pretty great

      Soundstage isnt the best as with any other in ear but the noise isolation is great, perfect for cqb shooters as you can really hear the precise direction of footsteps and other movements.

      Noise cancellation is great when inserted properly and most likely attributes to the great isolation.

      UPDATE - I used these on 10 hours worth of flights and they worked absolutely fine. I think the prior issue had something to do with the input jack on the previous flight. I have had no additional issues with these since my initial review. I am sorry for doubting Etymotic Research's expertise!

      Really disappointed with these. I used Etymotic Research headphones on my iPhone for over 5 years. This set was dead on arrival, losing signal with very slight movements during the first use. I won't go out of my way to buy this brand in the future.

      4.0 out of 5 stars El mejor sonido que vas a encontrar por el precio, PERO
      Reviewed in Mexico on July 24, 2022
      Verified Purchase
      El sonido es increíble se escucha absolutamente todo claro y separado, es increíble la cantidad de detalle que puedes escuchar con estos auriculares hay detalles que ni sabia que tenían canciones que he escuchado por años, el sonido claro esta por ser auricular es muy cerrado así que no esperes un soundstage repo hd600 pero si espera un nivel de sonido igual que este.

      El único pero que le pongo es que su construcción es horrible no el auricular en si si no el cable que aparte de hacer mucho ruido no dura nada, es una pena porque la verdad son los mejores auriculares que he escuchado y muchos concuerdan si no son estos son los hd600 o hd 660s con los que me quedaría de por vida en cuestión de sonido, lastima lo del cable.

      Igual por el precio al que aveces se pueden conseguir 1700-1800 vale la pena probarlos solo para escuchar un nivel de referencia alto.
