Etymotic ER3XR

Frederik S · Aug 14, 2018

Etymotic's ER3-series in-ears aim to bring their ER4 design into a lower price category. Priced at $179, the ER3s are nearly half the price of the ER4-series in-ears, and their specification sheets show that they are not far off. We take a good look at the new in-ears to see how they fare against their bigger brethren.

Shame the cables are stiff...but else it looks like a bargain

You can upgrade to the new ER4 cable, but they are a little costly. Definitely still a bargain in-ear if you are into neutral sounding in-ears.

Wow, this is a nice one!

I am, but I'm still not really willing to pay this much, although it's very tempting indeed.
