A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one.

With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.

The Real Fun Reference IEM

ER2s are truly among the best IEM in sub-10K mark. They offer good accessories, great built quality and a tremendously fun but DF neutral (with a 2-3dB boost in sub-bass) sound sound signature. It seems Etymotic have rectified the concerns of the previously released BA IEMs. This doesn't mean there are no trade-offs, but it is inconsequential when compared to the goods. The reputation of Etymotic truly precedes the package delivered and it doesn't let down. The transient response is agile and bass attack is so dynamic - probably nothing comes close. The Starfield may offer a better technical performance, but the timbre and tonal characteristics of ER2s are far superior. I might even compare it to my some hybrids like Legacy 5 or some offerings from BQEYZ, but the cohesiveness of a DD can't be undermined. Also, I am not a proponent of the Chi-Fi tuning expect Moondrop. Etymotic's tuning is so natural and clean, I might not even go back to my previous go-to IEM A&K Billie Jean. They can scale well to a powerful source and totally do justice as an on-stage monitoring IEM, especially for drummers and bassists.
One thing to be noted is the soundstage and imaging. Due to the deep insertion, the instruments / vocals don't seem to come from around as you might expect in some recordings. But the instrument separation is top-notch and there is lot of lateral depth to the audio. It is a godsent IEM for binaural recordings. I truly have a soft spot for this IEM and it's just *kisses* good.

Hey Pritish, we're so happy to hear that this product is meeting your expectations. Thanks for this wonderful detailed review. We hope to see you again soon! :)

Sleeper IEMs : ER2XR

Not much interst is shown in these but let me tell you these are the real deal. If one can get the fit right nothing much at more than even double or triple their price can match them in sound quality.

These are neutral with a slight tilt in sub bass that does not intrude into those lovely mids. Some bright female voice recordings could sound a bit shouty but that is the only negative that I really found in these. The treble is again lovely, extended without a hint of sibilance.

Being the cheapest ETYs the retail package is underwhelming and there should be more tips to try especially double flanged ones especially considering that the fit makes it or breaks it for most folks trying ETYs.

Another thing is that the cable looks extremely fragile and Headphone Zone must stock replacement ETY cables as the mmcx connectors are not the standard ones but proprietary ETY design ones.

In short just do yourself a favour and try these if you are loking for a DD iem for upto three times it's price.

They rock, if you get the seal right.

I purchased the XR version from HPZ and was thrilled when I tried them on. The IEMs are super light and comfy. I tried the cylindrical foam tips included in the box, but for some reason I couldn't get the right seal, hence the bass was underwhelming and they sounded kinda squeaky.

The next day, I switched to the triple flange tips included in the box, and my mind was blown. Having got the right seal, I could feel the noise isolation even before I started playing a track. Their sound signature is excellent, every detail is crystal clear and with the noise isolation, the bass response is great. So I'd recommend to spend some time with the ear tips till you get a good seal.

The only concern I have is that the cable looks very delicate, and the drivers have this notch thingy, due to which they don't fit into other MMCX cables. In short, a great pair of IEMs at this price point, that can give more expensive multi-driver IEMs a run for their money.

PS: Team Headphone Zone thanks for getting these beauties, I love them. Also, please stock up on some replacement cables, will be needing them a year or so down the line. 🙂

Endgame iem for tonality and realism

I'd seen this iem on crins list and then this "troll" named Sharur started posted about the er2se on youtube. When i was looking to buy er2xr, it was out of stock. So i bought the er2se. Getting it it was one of a kind a neutral signature truly. But it was lacking in bass impact. Songs which needed a bit of rumble to sound good, it did not deliver on those. So what did i do. I got the xr when it came back in stock 2 months or so later. Er2xr is is what i was looking for. It has bass impact without being overpowering, sounds fuller while still being a neutral iem. Do not get the er2se unless you have heard something like the tin t2 and like it (a lot). Most people should wait for the xr variant once its available. Another thing is the double flange tips which are much more comfortable than the triple flange, only come included with the XR variant. Hope this helped. Rest assured this is an excellent iem!

Beautiful sounding IEM - ER2XR

First time user of Etymotics - All I have to say is, they are amazing for the price. For 10k I'm getting something that is similar to headphones that sound 2x the price. I honestly thought I'd hate the fit but the triple flange eartips are perfect for me with great isolation. The foam tips that come with this product are utter crap. Don't depend on them. Overall a great Value For Money piece here.

If you want just bass, skip this one. This is more like an all rounder without being low in a certain category. Even the treble as many say it lacks a little, is honestly not that bad. The packaging is good and old stylish. I didn't have any issues with shipping.

I wish we had some ear tips from westone, Dekoni and Comply in India. This is something I'd try various eartips on. Anyway, you won't be disappointed with this. I'm aware the triple flange is not something that'd be comfortable for everyone, so keep that in mind.

Hey Jerwin, thanks for sharing this amazing feedback! We are super happy to hear that you are loving your new purchase!

No coloration

Yes in simple words it is for the audiophile who look for serious original studio performance iem. There is No distortion from the original sounding. It shows off what is recorded. For example you can identify each instrument and voices of the singers as natural as. No frequencies are exaggerated. But the cable is very thin. Good fiting is must to show Etys original sq. I found shure tip is good for me. It is no wonder why there are thousands of fans for etymotic

Hey, thanks for sharing your review with us, we really appreciate it.

Amazing Sound Isolation

This review is for the XR model. Their main USP is the amazing fit and noise blocking. I am using the triple flange tips and once they are sealed properly you are isolated from the world. Sound wise: they are not fatiguing. I can listen to these for hours at end. Super comfortable. They do require the volume to be cranked up a bit (compared to my other IEMs).

If you're chasing bass : Get the Ibasso IT00
If you're chasing treble : Get the Shuoer Tapes or Starfields

These fall right in the middle. But what they offer which the others don't is sound isolation, no listening fatigue and comfort.

So glad to know that you love them. We really appreciate your review, we hope it will help other potential customers to make an informed decision.
