Since the early 1980s, Etymotic Research has been developing earphones for audiology auditory brain stem response testing. Since then and evermore, their goals have always had a relationship with truth and precision. Their newest earphones are no exception.
Etymotic’s release of the ER3SE and ER3XR exposed the curiosities of many audiophiles. They’re prices are $179 which is cheaper than the previous ER4 model which is $349. So it’s left all of us at Major HiFi wondering how they differ.
