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. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer.

Recent designs have combined durable, yet light materials to construct lightweight headphones that are sleeker, trendier and more comfortable than ever before. Of course, lightweight headphones are also easy to take along wherever you go – they don’t add weight to your bag or occupy too much space.

The majority of portable media players on the market today need a set of in-ear monitors that are incredibly sensitive. The Etymotic ER3SE Studio Edition in-ear monitors are designed specifically to accomplish this. These earphones offer professional-quality sound reproduction. The ER3XR eXtended Response, on the other hand, produces a decently boosted low-end frequency output. Based upon the audio standards of the ER3SE, the ER3XR provides a slightly enhanced bass output for the segment of music listeners who like to hear more bass in their music.

With the best-in-class features, high-end performance, and superior build quality, the Etymotic ER3 in-ear monitors deliver an uncompromised music listening experience. These in-ear monitors are perfectly in tune with the newest innovations in music players that support a 3.5 mm stereo plug.

These in-ear monitors feature powerful and meticulously designed balanced armature drivers. The Etymotic ER3 in-ear monitors comprise a highly durable reinforced cable. You also get a user-replaceable filter over the balanced armature drivers to protect it from ear wax.

The body of the ER3 is designed with high-grade metal and has an anodized finish. The ER3s provide an ideal in-ear fit. The 4-foot cables; that come with these in-ear monitors are replaceable if necessary because they are detachable.

FREQUENCY GRAPH

CHEAT SHEET

Regions of the frequency spectrum

SUB BASS
(20Hz - 80 Hz)

The first section of the frequency spectrum is the sub-bass. Everything below 80Hz is sub-bass, so generally, you need a subwoofer or a good pair of headphones (open-back headphones, for example) to hear this region. This region comprises instruments like the Kick Drum and the Bass Guitar. You should be able to hear Sub-Bass if you’re listening on monitors or headphones. But if you’re listening on a laptop or a phone, there’s no way you will hear that.

MID BASS
(80 Hz - 300 kHz)

After the Sub-Bass region, we get into the region known as the Bass or Mid-Bass. This region consists of everything between 80 and 300 hertz. In this area, we’ve got instruments like bass guitar and the low end of a snare. Lots of the low-end vocals as well, because male vocals are going to have the fundamental below 200Hz in most cases.

LOWER MIDRANGE
(300 Hz - 1000 kHz)

Next, if you go from 300 Hz up to 1000 kHz, this is known as the Lower Midrange, and this is a crucial region for music because this is where you get a lot of buildup with guitars, vocals, and even the top-end of the bass guitar especially. Lower Midrange is an area guilty of adding mud to a mix and clarity in this region lifts a track exponentially.

UPPER MIDRANGE
(1 kHz - 6 kHz)

Human hearing focuses inherently on this frequency range. So it’s crucial to get this range right. This region consists of the main focus of the track (e.g. vocals) and synths. Be aware that this is also where you can start to get into harshness and aggressive tones.

TREBLE
(6 kHz - 10 kHz)

After the Upper Midrange, we’ve got the Treble region between 6kHz and 8 kHz, and this is where things start to get harsh. This region is where we have brittleness from instruments like the Hi-Hats and Cymbals. This is also a crucial range for clarity and aggression, especially for female vocals.

AIR
(10 kHz - 20 kHz)

At the end of the frequency spectrum, we get to the Air region or the Top End. This region consists of everything above 10 kHz. This is where we have air and this is where we get a sense of shine and sparkle in our music.

Which Etymotic ER3 is right for you?

Both Etymotic ER3 models, the ER3SE and ER3XR, use the same high-sensitivity low-impedance Balanced Armature (BA) drivers. That means no amplifier is required to drive the ER3 IEMs properly. The only difference between the 2 models is the tuning of the lower (bass) frequencies. The “Studio Edition” ER3SE is tuned to have a flat frequency response. The “eXtended Response” ER3XR is tuned to be high energy with emphasised bass, adding 1-2dB to the mid-bass and 3-4dB to the sub-bass. The rest of the frequencies are practically identical to the ER3SE. ER3SE is a great choice for audio creators and musicians on a budget, who require a precise and neutral sound reproduction. ER3SE is also the IEM of choice for prosumers who prefer to listen to their music exactly the way it was recorded. ER3XR is favoured by those who enjoy the extra bass presence and body when listening to their music. The extra bass is done tastefully without turning the ER3XR to a bass heavy IEM.

"They are wonderfully tuned, very impressive IEMs. If you like a little bit more bass, the XR-versions for sure is the one to go for. All in all, I am convinced these will seriously impress you."

"Etymotic's ER3 XR earphones are some of the most accurate we've tested in recent years, with just the right amount of bass depth to make modern mixes pop."

"The ER3 sounded crisp and clear, with satisfying bass, the ER3 uses a single balanced armature driver housed in a precision machined metal ear piece."

Great earphones.!!

Killer sound quality from the tiny ear cans. It took me about a week and 20+ hours to get comfortable with the deep insertion of the cans. Once that barrier was crossed, it's paradise.!!

Well, don't expect hd 800 standards of soundstage. But I think it's just an earphone, that outruns every other in earphone that's under a few times it's price. It's big brother ER4 maybe a tiny bit better, but not really a noticeable difference unless you have bat ears.
It's a great in earphone, that takes you back to the recording studio where you can hear how exactly the sound was made and recorded. I can't think of a better way to spend that money on anything else. Once again I must admit that the earphone tips needs to be inserted deep in your ear canal, which may not be comfortable for everyone. Luckily, I figured that was not an issue for me. Thanks to Etymotic. I fell in love with my music again. :)

Nothing else makes sense

Now I know what piano, Sax and violin really sounds like. Etymotics are not good/bad sound wise, they are the only option, every other audio equipment sounds fake (i am listening since 13).
One has to insert them to insane depths and get used to it. Once there, it feels like the brain is producing the sound from within rather than an equipment from the outside. Every other iem portrays fake sense of sound stage and imaging (using inaccurate tuning). Detail is accurate as well, other iems amplify certain frequencies to sound more detailed but in reality are only adding resonances (harshness/sibilance).
The cable is a complete trash and I am worried about a future replacement due to limited options on the net.
and also...

SERIOUS COMPANIES DON'T ADVERTISE AGGRESSIVELY OR HAVE CARTOONS ON THE BOXES...my opinion of course.

Excellent Earphones.

They have enthralling sound. You can easily pickup details that you've never knew they were there. It is an absolute must have at this price.

Bang! Not for Bass heads! For Pure Music Lovers!

I'm not an Audiophile or whatsoever and in a learning phase. But I always crave for neutral sound, micro detail, soundstage and Instument separation.
Considering the 1more Quad Driver I had, this is a huge improvement. 1More was kind of recessed and warm, but still had plenty of details.
This one is a huge huge improvement. First thing that hit me was the soundstage like liberating, like we are in a mini theatre and Instument separation.
I do Observe the Higher end a bit harsh at times or may be the fact that I come from a warm sounding drivers. Fit might be an issue for many if not known how to lace it properly, but once you do, you're in heaven. Sometimes you feel like you're in the studio during the recording process.
Overall great product. Love it. Thanks Headphone zone for making this available in India.

Mine is XR version and I didnt find the bass dominating if not adequate. But Im happy that Im able to experience pure music.

UPDATE: THE HARSH HIGHS ARE INDEED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE UNIT I RECEIVED WAS DEFECTIVE AS MANY AUDIOPHILES CONFIRMED ER3XRs NEVER HAVE SIBILANCE EVEN AT A HIGH VOLUME, ON SUBMITTING WARRANTY CLAIM, THEY'RE REFUSING TO ACCEPT THE IMBALANCE AND IT'S BEEN MORE THAN A MONTH NOW TO A DEADLOCK. THOUGHT OFBUYING ANOTHER HEADPHONES BUT REFRAINED DUE TO THIS BAD EXPERIENCE
