Let’s face it, big earphones aren’t for everyone, even if they are all the rage on public transit these days. Sometimes you want clear sound without having to wrap your head in plastic. Etymotic Research, the first company to develop commercial products utilizing in-ear technology, are on the job.
Providing the highest response accuracy and noise isolation of any earphones in the world, the 6i Isolator Earphones are designed specifically for portable players to provide greater sound output and enhance bass, so toss out those ache-y factory-white earbuds and get with the new sound revolution.
These aren’t your ordinary earbuds, oh no: the Isolator earphones have special filters that smooth the frequency response and prevent earwax from entering the earphones (ew). The filters, located at the tip of the earphone, can be removed and replaced when they become clogged and/or dirty, usually indicated by a decrease in volume and decline of sound quality.
The 6i Isolator Earphones kit comes with the earphones, a 5 foot cord with 3.5mm stereo plug, flanged and foam eartips, shirt clip, pouch, 2 replacement filters and a filter changing tool.
If you’ve already invested hundreds of dollars in portable audio devices, do yourself a favor and drop another $149 to hear your music in all its glory.
