The world's most accurate sound-isolating earphones!
In a Class by Itself
Etymotic invented noise-isolating, in-ear earphones. Etymotic's original insert earphone design, developed for auditory research and medical diagnostics, used balanced armature receivers and established these speakers as the gold standard for high-definition, in-ear earphones. The ER-4 MicroPro series earphones were the first earphones commercialized using this technology and are recognized as the world leader in response accuracy, to which all other earphones are compared. After more than 20 years, these reference-quality earphones are still the choice of serious sound engineers, audiophiles and musicians.
ER-4S, the newest model in the MicroPro series, is intended for sound engineers and audiophiles in constant motion. The ER-4S is designed to produce amazing sonic performance and clarity at 100 Ohms of Impedance. The ER-4S were designed to compensate for the high frequency emphasis in all CD recordings, in order to provide accurate sound reproduction. Performing musicians often use them as in-ear monitors because the response of the ER-4S matches the response of most typical monitor loudspeakers. The high accuracy and exceptional sound isolation of the ER•4S have made these earphones popular with musicians, recording engineers and audiophiles. ER-4S earphones can be used with a headphone amplifier when using low power portable devices.
