The Etymotic Research ER-6i Isolator is a compact, earbud-style set of earphones that are ideal for travel and personal listening. If you’ve ever been a skeptic of earbud sound quality, the ER-6i will shatter the headphone myth that bigger is better.

The ER-6i features a noise isolation of 34-36 dB that far surpasses that of active noise-canceling earphones. This makes the ER-6i a perfect choice for travelers, because these earphones will actively cancel the white noise caused by traffic, trains, or airplanes. These tiny earbuds are perfect for CD, DVD, and MP3 players, as well as laptop computers. Plus, the ER-6i is designed to plug directly into most airline audio systems, so you’ll never have to pay for those cheap, airline headphones again.

Etymotic Research delivers outstanding comfort with the ER-6i. The flanged eartips fit snugly into most ear canals, but Etymotic goes one step further by providing disposable foam eartips. The foam eartips provide extra comfort and may offer a better seal in the ear canal. The ER-6i is designed to deliver excellent sound reproduction and big, rich bass tones. A good seal in your ear canal will ensure that you hear every detail of your favorite tunes. The ER-6i flanged eartips are easy to remove and should be cleaned regularly for the best listening experience. Etymotic Research provides you with the tools you need to keep your ER-6i clean and working properly.

The quality of these earphones is outstanding. They deliver such rich sound quality that even the most finicky audiophile will be impressed. The ER-6i earphones have a flat, real-ear response for reproducing CD and MP3 recordings. The sound accuracy is comparable to professional earphones, and provides surprising performance considering that the ER-6i is so compact and weighs less than an ounce.

It is common to see young people listening to their players on their way to the office or going back home, which may totally cost them nearly two hours or more. However, most of them may have no consciousness that listening at dangerously high volume levels for up to two hours a day, potentially runs the risk of hearing loss.

Of a sample of 1,000 adults who were interviewed for a RedC poll commissioned by Hidden Hearing, a hearing aid supplier, 11 per cent of those who owned a personal music device said they had experienced either ringing in their ears or “dull” hearing as a result of listening to the device through headphones.

Over a third of the same group said that they listened to their MP3 or other device for more than an hour a day through headphones.

Audiologist Keith Ross said the survey strengthens data from Hidden Hearing centres that indicates more young people are having their hearing tested than was previously the case.

In a related on-the-street survey, MP3 users had the volume at which they were listening to their devices recorded. The results showed that 51 per cent of those surveyed were listening to their devices at 89 decibels while one in five was recorded at a volume above 100 decibels.

Mr Ross said listening to MP3 players at levels exceeding 100 decibels is akin to “standing two yards from someone operating a pneumatic drill”.

“As a result of years of listening to personal music devices at very loud volumes, we are seeing a huge increase in the number of people sometimes as young as 30 suffering from hearing loss which you might expect a person aged over 70 to have,” he said. We can’t imagine and there is no need to afford it if now we appropriately turn down the volume.

Above all, I want to say although it is a pretty good pair of earphones that somebody said ” The sound quality is abosolutely amazing, I can’t go back to my old ones.”, the most outstanding functions, the remote and mic, are supported only by iPod nano (4th and 5th generation), iPod classic (120GB/160GB), iPod touch (2nd generation), and iPhone 3GS. The remote is supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation), while Audio is supported by all iPod models. That is to say you must have one of Apple products.
 
The Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic take the acclaimed Apple iPod Earphones and add a control capsule, located on the cable of the right earpiece, that includes a microphone and three buttons. Here’s what you can do with this convenient remote:

Adjust the volume by pressing the + and – buttons.
Control music and video playback, including play/pause and next/previous by pressing the center button.
Record voice memos on supported devices.
Answer and end calls.

Etymotic demonstrated its new mc-series earphones at CES this year. The sleek new earphones come in a variety of shimmery colors, including a forest green version not shown here. They also include Etymotic’s excellent noise isolating capabilities with a variety of eartips to help with fit. Of course the big news here is the price: the mc5 will sell for just $79, and preliminary listening tests have them comparing favorable to the Editors’ Choice Klipsch Image S4. Look for them online within a month or so.

In addition, Etymotic is announcing availability of its hf and mc earphones with an integrated three button remote and mic for the iPhone and iPod. The hf3 adds an inline remote to the existing hf2, while the mc3 ($99) is the mc5 with remote.
