Etymotic Research Binaura ER4B Consumer Headphones

Pros: Accuracy, clarity, response. Sound isolation. Look good.
Cons: Difficult to insert without practice. Pouch is a joke. The cord is really long.

I have had the Etymotic ER-6's for about 6 months now. I purchased it after I got my new iPod with video knowing that the Apple supplied earphones weren't the best. I'm not a true audiophile, but I do know the difference between accuracy and clarity in ...

Pros: Comfortable fit, excellent noise reduction, clear sound even at low volume.
Cons: Cost (although cheap for what you get), can be fragile if not handled properly.

We live in a very remote area, and spend many hours on streetbikes - both locally and on long-distance tours. Even with the best helmet money can buy, wind noise is still somewhat of an issue (unless you really WANT to grow up to be that old guy in ...

Pros: Compact, remarkable sound, allows listening at lower volumes
Cons: Inconvenient to insert, modestly comfortable, may raise solipsistic questions

When $129 looks like a "value":
Many people have written about the remarkable sound these earphones produce, much like their pricier ER-4S sibling. Never having heard the higher-end models, I can't directly compare them, but the...

Pros: Tiny size, BIG sound, isolation.
Cons: Not quite the richness of the ER4's; isolation.

Even after reading pages and pages of favorable reviews on Etymotic earphones, I was still completely blown away by how good they sound! I ordered the ER6, as well as the ER4P, from HeadRoom...knowing they are only too happy to let you try things out....

Cons: Missed phone calls, can't tell when my boss is coming anymore.

Intro A very good friend of mine bought me an I-Pod, so I embraced the technology and loaded my entire CD selection to it. Now the problem is the earphones that came with the i-pod are just your regular flavor. Being I always burn the candle at ...

Pros: -Noise cancelling is excellent; provides a near-deaf experience. -Great sound for the price and size.
Cons: -Noise cancelling, sound quality maybe *too* good. -May aswell order replacement parts along with item...

What attracted to me these phones was the combination of ultimate portability and noise-cancelling goodness. (I had just purchased a portable mp3 player and the included phones just werent 'doing it for me', to put it lightly.) Comfort: ...

Pros: Excellent noise isolation, good sound quality, light, tiny, and affordable
Cons: Mildly annoying noise when cord is moved, lackluster accessory package

I recently had the pleasure of replacing a lost pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 2's with these little beasties. I haven't looked back since, minus a few small details. I'll review these canalphones by the following criteria: included accessories, first ...

Pros: Great isolation, decent sound, pricey but still affordable
Cons: delicate cord, uncomfortable over long periods, overemphasized highs

Pros: They sound great,they enable you to play music at minimal volume .
Cons: They have to be handled very carefully because their construction is so delicate.

I've owned the ER-6 for almost a year now, and they have held up just fine...but I treat them very carefully. For my primary use, the foam buds are more comfortable and block sound a bit better than the plastic ones. At first I thought the filters were ...

Pros: Awesome-to-the-max sound quality, portable, no batteries, excellent sound isolation, good for travel
Cons: Ear wax, maintenence, somewhat expensive, dangerous (read warnings carefully), not healthy for conversation

I bought a pair of Etymotic ER-6 isolators to go with my newly purchased Zen Micro. These little things are simply amazing and the sound quality is excellent. When I was looking into headphones, the first of my criteria for selection was noise ...

Ok, I'd read the reviews and heard people rave about frequency response, this type of instrument, et ...

I'm the lone dissenter...
Every review I've read of these headphones absolutely raves about the tremendous sound quality, rivaled only by their big brother, the ER-4's.

Poor sound quality
I purchased a pair of these...

Pros: unbelievable sound!
Cons: needs cleaning, might be annoying for some people

The most amazing sound I ve heard in my life. That should say it all. I listened to many many headphones, Home theater systems in the $200-$2000 range, stereos etc. I have never heard the quality of sound I get from these babys. It is so clear and crisp,...
