Etymotic hf2 Earphones - iLounge 2008 Best of Show Winner

I have the ER4p and have used them for the past 4 years as well as a backup ER6i and never wanted to get anything else. Maybe a set of T2 custom mold, but your talking $1k then.

I've actually walked past a busker playing Saxophone and not heard him. Dangerous unless you're used to wearing them on the street.

Only Caveat, you HAVE to learn how to insert them and create the correct seal, after that sit back and enjoy!.

they may be very impressive but!, that is a really ugly design, maybe its so people don't steel them from someone.

Yeah, sound would be nice. Etymotic ER-4 brand are considered by many to be the most accurate sound earphones you can get in the sub $1k range. The ER-4 earphones cost $299 normally. The HF2 pair the same earphones supposedly with a headset for less than the original earphones. I've been told they are not tested as extensively as the ER-4.

slightly ironic that there's no audio nor explanation of why they're any good.

why are these the best of show?

!!!! I must have these!
