Thanks for the review. I've owned the ER2XR since August of 2019 and they are (for me) the best IEM Ive owned, and the base is at the level that I prefer without having to adjust the EQ. The mids are just smooth, very celan. And the noise isolation is impressive - I'm from Queens, NYC, and I ride the bus and subway on a regular basis, and the ER2XR does an amazing job in the noise isolation dept. I highly recommend them, a no brainer.

They are truly great, gotta say. Perfectly tasteful for monitoring drums and just using it for listening, and the triple flanges really are great in terms of comfort. The only thing that I had issues with was the stock shirt clip that got worn out pretty quickly, but for that I just have separate clips. That and the ER-series triple flange tips are hard to get in Europe, so that needs fixing - but the products sure are great.

Nice review. Those 3 flange deep insertion tips are not for everyone. Hard to get used to. When I got a chance to test the XR3's at Can Jam they offered a pair of 2 flange to try, much more comfortable and still great isolation. Some people have even cut down their tips to make them a 2 flange for better comfort. The 3XR & 4XR have also come down in price a lot.

@TheHonestAudiophile 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely comfort and fit is an adjustment. I really enjoy triple flange and bi flange tips, use them often on other IEM. But I totally understand and agree. I hope to get a chance to hear and review more Etymotic products if funds become available or someone sends in for review.

Awesome review, these were on sale so I gave them a go and I echo a bit of your surprise in terms of the overall capabilities and pleasantness of these earphones. I had a few Goldilocks issues with the silicone, I think the triple flange work better than the double but in both I could hear some siblance in some of my tracks. My guess is it's a tip/ear fit issue as the large triple flanges eliminated. However I switched to the foam and found it was much more preferable. I actually swapped on some hybrid silicone-foam tips by Westone I mistakenly bought awhile without reading the nozzle diameter. I stashed them away "just in case" and they fit the Etymotic perfectly. Even more sound insulation, adds a bit of bounce to the low-end without muddying anything, and clears some of that siblance I noted. Terrific IEM, my current fav, appreciate the video Sir!

Dear Dave, you know, sometimes when you do your description of an iem I think I am hearing my thoughts - very precise review, according to me; and I like the ER2XR very very much. Just do not like the comparison with SSR since according to me they fall behind, but please, no statement, just my view. I think that if you continue to like so much the ER2XR you should also try the ER3SE which are more neutral (less bass) but not dull also. I love the ER2XR so much that I bought also the SE and also love it - it is less bass (like Tin 2 may be) but in exchange the mids get a bit more resolute and highs get even more clarity. So now I struggle which one I like more and have a very good set of two choices. What I want to add is that Etymotic ER series has also original tuning kit with 4 additional tuning filters - got them from Etymotic last week and still did not have time to play, but I read that playing with the 5 filters (1 in and 4 different) with the ER2SE can give very interesting sound signatures. Again.! love your review!

Were you able to get almost the same amount of isolation as the foam with the silicone as well?

I love my ER2’s. Both the SE and XR’s. When I first got them, I was so underwhelmed, but loved the fit (pretty much the opposite of the usual experience). I’ve gotten the Heart Mirrors, T3+, Lea, Timeless, Zero, and Dioko, and when I came back to the ER2’s, I understood. The ER2’s are water. They are the pallet cleanser of the audio world. It’s like they actually correct my hearing and allow me to hear accurately. What blows my mind is that at first, the bass seemed rolled off; after listening to them for a while, they feel like bass cannons!

Etymotic make a great product! Personally I prefer their studio response curve but it's great they offer customers a choice between the accurate and neutral SR tuning or the bass boosted more musical XR tuning. I use the ER4SR probably more than any other IEM or headphone as if you want an accurate highly resolving IEM it remains the benchmark. And although Etymotic products are not cheap they're not silly by serious audio standards and offer excellent value for money.

Etymotic ER 2/3/4 series are all great. My main IEM currently is 64Audio U12T but my backup is always ER4SR. And the best part is Etymotic ER series are actually well priced in the market (especially after accounting for performance). It's the best bang for your buck as long as you are fine with ear drilling experience. ER2SE in US goes for like $49 in Adorama if you find the link through reddit. Absolute bonkers that this kind of sound quality is at $50 range. ER2SE is basically ER4SR with grainier resolution and weaker treble. Other than that, honestly, the two are identical for casual day to day listening [since you won't be side comparing] (coming from someone who tried ER2SE, ER3SE, ER4SR, ER4XR) . And Etymotics have extremely good warranty service. If you ever have problems with your IEM and send it, Etymotics will just send you a complete new pair. Very responsive too. Great company.

Soundstage is commonly criticized when reviewers talk about Etymotic IEMs, just imagine if these were wide! You can't fault these IEMs for having limited soundstage due to the modest price. I have $300 credit on my Amazon account, these will be considered whenever I spend that credit, probably on more IEMs. BTW, that carrying pouch looks suspiciously similar to the one that comes with the Klipsch X11, an IEM I bought years ago and was very disappointed with.

I managed to get from ali express 50pcs DIY Tuning Papers 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 Mesh Tuning Cotton Pads Earphones DIY Adhesive Papers for 4 dollars. For the green filter sound, get the 350. For brighter tone, get the 300 and for a less treble get the 400. 50 filters and produce the same results. Remove the old filter and press the stickers into the noozle. Simple

What do you mean 'strange', they're literally the original foam eartips...how long you been listening to IEMs?

I just started listening to IEM last week so I don't have much experience with foam tips 🤪

They've definitely got a different feel than comply or dekoni tips... The man described it perfect, scratchy and too much expansion pressure.

Someone could listen to a very wide range of IEMs from many different manufacturers and not encounter that particular type of foam tip. They are used by about two or three brands. How long have you been using IEMs?
