## Description

ER3SE is a high-sensitivity single driver in-ear monitor (IEM) with a reputation for accuracy in audio reproduction. The IEM shells are made of anodized aluminum and are machined with tight tolerances to provide a compact design. The use of a single balanced armature (BA) driver allows for an easy-to-drive IEM with excellent accuracy. The ER3SE is also known for its impressive passive noise isolation, providing up to 42 dB of attenuation. This makes the ER3SE a popular choice for sound engineers, audiophiles, and budget-conscious consumers looking for in-ear monitors. ER3SE and ER3XR are the two ER3 models, both of which use the same high-sensitivity Balanced Armature driver that's easy to drive, even without an amplifier. The difference between the two is in the tuning of the lower frequencies. The ER3SE is designed to be neutral and flat, while the ER3XR is high-energy with emphasized bass. The ER3SE is a great choice for audio creators, musicians, and those who prefer to listen to music as it was recorded. The ER3XR is ideal for those who enjoy extra bass presence. Etymotic's goal is to have a flat frequency response curve that takes into account the resonance in the average ear canal. This results in a slight "hump" in the 2-5k region to compensate for the resonance and deliver a perceptibly flat frequency response. Etymotic's target frequency response graph is based on more than 20 years of research and expertise in human hearing and acoustics. In tuning IEMs, the goal is to accurately reproduce a live performance and factor in the acoustic properties of the ear. This requires a slight "hump" in the frequency response graph to compensate for the acoustic resonance and horn effects of the ear, which results in a flat frequency response perceived by the eardrum.

Review: Come da titolo per me che ascolto musica prevalentemente acustica hanno una risposta neutra su tutta la gamma, buona la dinamica compatibilmente con le piccolissime dimensioni Per farle cantare bisogna trovare gli adattatori giusti per le proprie orecchie cioè quelli che meglio ti isolano dai rumori esterni, forniti comunque in dotazione. Attenzione al volume di ascolto perché arrivano molto vicini al timpano.
Review: Etymotic makes great in ear monitors. This is my third set, and I am very impressed. First of all, the previous ones - I forget the model number - did not have replaceable cables, and the cables frayed at the attachment points, so into the bin they went (this was after several years of service, so I'm not complaining too much). Big kudos to Etymotic for making these replaceable. Second, the new tapered silicone tips that have only two flanges are much more comfortable for me than the three-flange originals. In my ears, the three-flange version gets quite hot and itchy and it's hard to concentrate on the music when that happens. The two-flange version removes that problem, without seeming to impact either the sound quality or the noise isolation. Third, all the good qualities are still there - great sound, great isolation. While I don't find in ear monitors as comfortable as my HiFiMan 5xx or Sennheiser 6xx, having the isolation on say a long air trip makes a huge difference. Plus they fit in my shirt pocket. As for the sound, I would say the Etymotics emphasize slightly the mid treble. Exceptionally good for classical music but some older poorly equalized rock (Led Zepplin I'm looking at you) can sound a bit more thrashy than what I consider normal. As for the low end, some people prefer the similar XR version but these have plenty of bass for me. These have replaced my Shure SE215 as my travelling IEM. The Shures sound fine but again a bit emphasized in the treble. But they don't isolate as well and the housing presses against my ear and becomes uncomfortable after awhile, whereas the Etymotics don't cause any of that kind of discomfort. Highly recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many drivers per ear piece are there?**
A: From the manufacturer's website. "Using a single Balanced Armature (BA) driver allows for extremely accurate IEM without the added complexity of crossovers, and helps keep the aluminum body small and slim."

So that means 1/ear to me.

**Q: I have been using Etymotic mk5 phones for a long time... would these have a similar level of comfort, or perhaps be more comfortable?**
A: The ER3SE earphones are as comfortable as your choice of earplugs.  You have a lot of options including those from other vendors.  I have seen the three-lobe models, two-lobe models, foam, and made-to-order custom-fit earplugs.  Personally, I found the two-lobe earplugs to be comfortable and Westone makes a very comfortable custom-fit earplug that will last for several years.  If price is not a problem, I highly recommend the Westone made-to-order earplugs for the ER3SE.  They provide the most comfort and the best noise isolation.

**Q: Can the main detachable peice be replaced (not the detachable foam part but the main driver)? I'm getting low volume on one side.**
A: With low sound on one side, the first thing to do would be to replace the filter.  It's probably clocked with earwax.  They're replaceable and that's what they're there for. Otherwise, when I sent in a pair of earphones, they replaced the earpiece/driver on one side.

**Q: Are these good for listening to music through my phone? Or are these just made for studios?**
A: I use them with my phone all the time.  They are really good at blocking the outside noise.  I love them when I'm flying.

*by C***O on 7 February 2019*

Edit: this is a review of both Etymotic ER3 SE & XR, I had two separate verified purchase reviews up when they were different listings but now they've been condensed into one listing, so I deleted the extra review. TL;DR is that the SE is great and the XR is a 'nice try' but I wouldn't recommend. SE - 5 stars XR - 3 stars Was curious about the halfway point between ER4s and the HF line, so got both the ER3 SE - Etymotic's hallmark flat sound - and the XR, with enhanced bass response. They're both in between the HF3 and ER4 in build quality. The cord's not as durable as the threaded ER4 cable, but it's a lot sturdier than the HF3's (which WILL fray within two years, the big problem with those otherwise great IEMs). Curiously, the cord on the XR was a full foot longer than the SE's, though otherwise both products are identical. Like with the ER4, the earbuds themselves can be easily detached from the cable, in case you need to replace a damaged cord. Dealing with the cord is a necessary hassle. It lacks a mic or audio controls, but there's a clip about where those controls would be, and you'll want to fix that on something high on your body to reduce cable rubbing noise, which is extremely pronounced. The cable microphonics are so bad in part because the passive noise isolation here is unsurpassed (true of just about all Etymotic IEMs), and without needing any suspicious tinnitus-flaring/ear-pressure-popping, pricetag-inflating active noise canceling tech, either. With a good seal, the outside world is closed off as effectively as with professional musician's plugs. I use Comply foam tips (just don't like the included plastic phalanges, YMMV) and can regularly wear these for hours (obviously being conscious of overall hearing exposure; one benefit of excellent noise isolation + terrific sound reproduction is that you can listen to stuff at a lower volume). Fantastic for commutes, plane trips, working in public, whatever. The earbuds stick straight out, so they're not appropriate for anything with your head sideways against a surface (like laying on your side resting or doing yoga or something). These aren't as fussy as the ER4 about wanting a preamp from many mobile devices, so you can just slap these into anything. But like other Etymotics they'll badly expose poor audio sources/low quality recordings. And if you want a really bouncy sound, or if you're playing from low-quality sources, you're in the wrong place. Etymotics deliver uninflected, unembellished, accurate sound from good sources/recordings. You probably already know if that's what you want, and if it is, the ER3SE delivers. Get it and be merry and save several bills off messing with ER4s plus amps. Find the right eartips for you and there's nothing else that does a better job of muffling everything else while delivering clarity. Giving up the headphone jack wouldn't be nearly so hard if not for the ER3/ER4. I'm confused by the XR though, and wouldn't recommend it. Etymotic's whole thing is flat, accurate sound. The XR's clear pitch is at people who want accuracy, but with more musical, punchy bass. And so much music is EDM or hip hop, so it makes sense to cater to that. But rather than sounding to me like "Etymotics but with punch" this just sounds muddier (rather than cleanly punchy), and clouds the appeal of Etymotic at large. I understand taking the shot, I just think it misses. If you want punchier, bouncier sound, just about everyone else does that, including the (slightly cheaper, lower quality, but with a mic and in-cord audio controls) HF3. If you're here because you already like Etymotic already or because you're looking for very good, accurate, inexpensive headphones, get the SE. I listen to all kinds of stuff, from classical to rock to rap; I've run a lot of hip hop with quality production through both the XR and the SE (Run the Jewels, Cannibal Ox, Aesop Rock, DJ Shadow) and I just don't think the XR does what it's claiming. I'd rather just listen to well produced hip hop on the SE anyway and appreciate other aspects of the music and accept that Etymotic isn't the place to go for the car-rattling-bass type experience, or to listen to someone like Emika. Lots of ppl like the XRs, maybe it's just subjective taste or maybe it's like the cheaper plasma TV looking inferior next to others in the store, but amazing all by itself in your home, but I wrote this for anyone curious about a direct comparison between the SE and XR. Why not the HF3? It's also very good. But if you use it regularly, it's also guaranteed to fray. The cable is noticeably lower quality and not modular. To their credit Etymotic's service is great and they have a lower-cost replacement program for damaged headphones. But probably make the jump to a much higher quality product that won't fray and is fixable if it does unless you need mic/controls on the cord. (Obviously it's nice to just answer a call if it comes in while you're listening to stuff on your phone, which is why I also have had several pairs of HF3s, which is how I know they're definitely going to fray eventually.)
