Etymotic ER2SE/XR In Ear Headphones

I was nervous about the deep fit at first, but the included eartips make it surprisingly comfortable and the noise isolation is unreal—I can't hear a thing outside my music. The dynamic driver sound is so balanced and detailed it makes my old headphones sound muffled.

The clarity on these is incredible—I can hear individual instrument lines in tracks I’ve listened to for years. The fit is snug enough that ambient noise almost disappears, and switching between the included eartips helped me find a perfect seal.

I was skeptical about in-ear monitors for everyday use, but the dynamic drivers give vocals and instruments a crispness I haven’t heard before. The included multiple eartips made it easy to get a secure fit, and the 35dB+ noise reduction is a lifesaver on the bus.
