Etymotic ER3SE/XR In Ear Headphones

I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight these are—they barely feel like they're in your ears. The noise isolation is really impressive for casual listening on the go, though the cable is a bit thin.

The sensitivity on these is fantastic for my iPod—they get plenty loud without needing a headphone amp. The fit is snug and isolates noise better than any earbuds I've tried before, which makes a huge difference on the bus.

Having used these on my laptop and phone, the clarity is incredible even at lower volumes and they isolate so well I barely hear the AC unit running.
