## Description

desertcart.com: Etymotic ER2XR Extended Response Earphone, Multicolored : Electronics

Review: Very good iem, the rest is meh - The headphones are just amazing. They work very good with many of my genres, in particular electronic music (psytrance) and pop. Extremely well defined sound, and although a bit intimate stage the definition and separation is just another level, especially for a single dynamic driver. The big breaking point is the fit, but i got used to it fairly quickly and the obvious advantage is superior noice cancellation that you wouldnt get without this type of fit. It does make the stage a bit intimate, but for electronic music this isnt something i care that much about anyways. It turns it as an advantage in that genre, atleast to my preference. Getting a good seal and deep fit is absolutely crucial for these iems to come alive and show what they are capable of and it may require some perseverance to get used to them. But if you manage, they are very hard to stop listen to. They are almost addicting. What isnt that good is basically all the rest. Some of the ear tips was literally broken(had holes and leaked sound/didnt isolate external sound) right out of the box. Even if the earphones are fairly priced, things like this shouldnt happen at this price point. Now i have to spend extra to be able to explore other potentially more optimal tip fits. The cable is also pretty lacking in many areas, and the clip is absolutely essential to avoid the pretty apparent microphonics the cable brings. It also feels cheap and it seems like the plug core is of some steel/iron alloy, and not copper(or atleast brass) since its magnetic. Not really ideal, but thanks to the stellar earphone itself it doesnt have that much of an impact on the general performance, although no fair comparison with an adequate cable has been done so far. If you dare to take a gamble on the fit, these are the absolutely best iems you will find in the ~100$ category. I have the hexas and olina se which are also heavy hitters in this category, and the er2xr beats those two fairly easy to me in most categories (excluding staging, but not to say er2xr staging is "bad". Its just intimate and special). I can however see how rock genres/electric guitar songs sound better on the hexas but for me that is not something of weight since i rarely listen to that type of music.
Review: Stop searching, this is it. - Entry level audiophile equipment is always exciting because there is often the promise of getting more for less. Many embark on the endless hunt for the best price to performance ratio, endlessly comparing one IEM to another. Most go for ChiFi, or Chinese HiFi devices, with their proclamations of triple drivers and balanced armatures. Unfortunately, even these high end technologies don’t necessarily promise excellent sound. That’s what makes the ER2XR, with its single dynamic driver, an incredible feat. At around $100, these headphones prioritise sound among everything else. The accessories are thoughtful, though perhaps a bit spartan. There’s a selection of foam and 3 flange ear tips, replacement filters, a small bag, a clip, and the IEMs themselves. A word on those ear tips: the three-flange variety go deep into your ear canal and take some getting used to. For that reason, I opted for some aftermarket Shure foam tips, which I personally prefer. However, none of this matters nearly as much as the sound. Here’s the thing: they sound great, and arguably better than HiFi community darlings like the TinAudio T2. The sound is very inviting, with a slight lift in the bass, hence the XR or ‘Extended Range’ designation. There is a pleasant warmth in mids, but nothing compromising. Highs are clean with little sparkle. The separation is good, even out of a Lightning dongle. Finally, soundstage is about what you’d expect for an IEM of this class, with its impossibly small chassis, which is to say rather narrow. All this to say that the ER2XR’s serve as a great introduction to controlled, accurate sound, while still being quite enjoyable out of the box. However, these IEMs, like all impossibly good things, come with compromises. Firstly, though they get plenty loud and are easy to drive with any 3.5mm jack, they really do need a good DAC for optimum sound quality. Paired with a Fiio BTR-5 or a Qudelix-5K, these IEM’s would make the perfect sub $200 introduction to “real” HiFi. I’d also upgrade the cable to a balanced 2.5mm 4 pole variant, which leads to me to perhaps the most irksome quality of the ER2XR — a proprietary MMCX connection. First party cables from Etymotic are pricy, at around $50 or half the cost of the whole IEM package. Naturally, AliExpress can solve any problem you have for around $25, but it’s still a nuisance. To summarise: + The gold standard between “fun” and accuracy + Incredible sound for the money + Excellent (+36db) noise cancellation - Proprietary MMCX connection - Fit might not be for everyone - Cable isn’t terribly durable

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Length of unit?**
A: Including the triple flange eartips but excluding the cable connector it's roughly 25mm (1 inch)

**Q: How do these deal with noisy/loud environments?**
A: These are perfect for noisy environments, you won't be able to hear any outside noise.
I was at an indoor Netball games and could not hear any of the high pitched whistles being blown at all.
These IEMS are really good.

**Q: Are these geared more towards professionals? Im a casual listener, but I'm looking to upgrade to something more serious than regular cheap earbuds.**
A: Speaking as a professional, yeah they have a pretty neutral and accurate sound with very good isolation, which I greatly appreciate because I can't stand exaggerated consumer-oriented sound signatures. It sounds better than anything else remotely close to this price. However, to achieve this great isolation and accuracy, you have to use those 3-flange tips and insert them properly (very deeply-as deep as they'll go). It takes a bit getting used to and may present a comfort issue for some, but for me, it wasn't a big deal and I got used to it quickly with no discomfort.

**Q: Are the foam or silicone flange tips more effective at noise isolation?**
A: I find the triple flange silicone tips better in my ears. But I have narrower than normal ear canals so the foam does not fit very well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbeatable at $65 if you can get past some quirks
*by A***E on January 24, 2021*

If this product was based solely on sound quality this would rank ***** all day everyday. The Etymotic Research ER2XR is an interesting value proposition considering it's build quality mirrors that of it's more expensive offerings in the ER3 series. Usage - Music/Movies/Television - I have found that the ER2XR is an excellent portable companion for all of the media types I listed. At the current $109 price this is an gets my recommendation considering how great these sound. It's not all rainbows and I will list some things I did not like about these. -Proprietary MMCX connectors. The engineers have forced the consumer to purchasing cables through Etymotic Research at $60+ per cable. -Cable which feels very cheap considering the MSRP retail of $150 for this unit. -Hit or miss fit deep insertion IEM design. This will be a deal breaker for some people but for others it's not a big deal. -Barely visible markings for left/right earbud connectors (you can fix this with a dab of nail polish in your favored color) - lacks volume controls, a play/stop button, and a wired mic. In conclusion the Etymotic Research ER2XR is an excellent set which I have full confidence recommending to people looking for an incredibly small pair of travel earbuds. If you can find these for under $70 it is a must buy as of 2021 there is no earbud that sounds this great at this price.
