Engineered with anodized aluminum shells and reinforced detachable cables, they provide up to 42dB of passive noise isolation, making them a top choice for audio professionals and discerning listeners seeking uncompromised clarity and immersive sound isolation. ## 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: So boring I'm crying tears of joy - After a while using these IEMs, I have to say, they are truly god tier for the price they go for. I got these at a steep discount ($69, nice), but at anything under $100 (Which they're still about under as of me writing this), you will not get remotely close to something as uncolored and pure as this. Getting it out of the way, and the Ety diehards may not like this, I threw away the triple flanges, and also disliked the double flanges. I've had good experiences with those style tips on my other IEMs, but they are horribly painful here, and not as isolating as the tips I eventually settled on, the Shure Yellow Foam tips. Let's not beat around the bush, these things NEED to go deep, or else they'll sound kinda weird and quiet, which I figured out real fast as I went through many tips. While audiophiles say they're not the best option for sound quality, I feel that the two best tips for these are the official Etymotic foam tips (Beige), and the Shure Yellows. The beiges are long, and currently don't play nice with my ears, but the Shures cut off just enough length to allow the IEMs to go in all the way, and also stay comfortable for hours, without any readjustment needed. Both are borderline the same foam, just with different stems and adhesives (Shures are better here), so it's just down to length preference. There's a huge problem with the IEMs besides the aural violation pack-in tips, and that's the cable. "Cable down and deal with it" seems to be the the way they're meant to be used, but the microphonics are horrible when they're like that, to the point they'll drown out your own voice, and not just the ones in your head. People online say "Cable up and deal with the strange looks", and that helps, but then the issue is fitting the IEMs in when there's nothing for the cable elbow to rest against. I had a solution for this, "Cable down, UNDER, AND AROUND". Doing this (Also using the chin cinch) allows me to insert the IEMs as intended, and also kill the microphonics, as well as giving the IEMs more protection from tugging. You can even lay on your side with the IEMs like this, which you can't do cable up. With all the hat tricks out of the way, the sound. I love them. Neutral, no shrill highs, no obnoxious ear murdering bass boost, not tin-can quality, not muffled, just plain and simple clarity. The isolation, somehow, is better than any earplug I've ever used. Everything is just gone, it's almost scary, to the point where I now use an app on my phone to pass through mic audio so I'm not completely deaf when using these. It's freaky when I turn off the passthrough, and everything from people walking and talking, down to the person in front of me, just completely go away. The look... they're there, then you put them in, and then they're gone, like earplugs. I like the really understated appearance of them, nothing extravagant, not filled with weights to make it feel substantial, just two light tubes that produce sound, and vanish in your ears, leaving just thin cables going into your ears as the only hint that you're not listening to what's around you. I love these, I can wear them for the whole day, and feel like I'm in a world of my own. I've had the Ety experience, and I cannot go back. I'm no audiophile, but I feel like I've cheated my way to becoming one of the elites. If you are sick of getting burned by IEMs sounding too bassy or thin, or being too colored, then buy these. You'll understand why people say they're almost too affordable for how good they sound. For me, I'm happy enough to say this is my IEM endgame. Also, buy some more filters, or clean your ears, the sound tube is thinner than the stem of a Q-tip. If the IEMs go quiet, it's likely not a defective IEM, it's the filter having fulfilled it's purpose. Review: An Excellent Tool - Not Good IEMs for Most - Firstly, these are a tool and are designed for work. For hearing protection where you need or want to listen to something, i.e. live performances, listening while drumming, music while mowing the lawn, hearing protection while flying in a plane, they are excellent, but I do not recommend these to most people outside of those situations. They are indeed accurate and sound okay for what they are, but never in my life would I use these for mixing or listening if I had other options. At their price, you have MUCH better options for sound and detail. Again, these are a tool for a specific purpose. Specifically, their frequency response is 20 Hz to 16 kHz, and that should tell you all you need to know. 16kHz is the highest frequency of FM radio, so needless to say these are not detailed and have no 'air' since CD audio and even most MP3s have sound up into about 22 kHz, with of course Hi Res audio going far beyond that. Many reviews state these IEMs sound close/intimate, flat, and dry. This is only partially caused by the fact they are a tight seal deep in your ear, but is mostly caused by the lack of high frequency detail that cuts out reverb and other sounds. The rolloff is extremely noticeable to me (musician and audio mastering engineer), but I think even casual listeners will feel it even if they can't describe it, as other reviews indicate. As for the package itself, it is very nice. It came with a nice carrying case, tips of different sizes, and even a bunch of double-flange tips that were not advertised anywhere on the listing. Be sure to try several tips, the default ones are TINY and didn't seal for me at all, instead pressing way too deep in my ear. Some may have issues with them being uncomfortable, but as someone who frequently wears similar hearing protection they are totally comfortable. And on that note, they do an excellent job at what they do- Passive noise isolation! When used properly, these will protect your ears and let you listen to some tunes or a click track at the same time. They seal out a ton of noise, and I am happy with the purchase. 5 stars, but would not recommend to most people due to their price and niche. ## Features - Frequency Response: 20 Hz – 16 kHz.

"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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So boring I'm crying tears of joy *by J***E on June 5, 2022* After a while using these IEMs, I have to say, they are truly god tier for the price they go for.

Unfortunately, nothing on the market now performs as well, as ER6i in the sound isolation department. However the newer ER models come close with carefully cut third-party tips. 90db road wind noise (at speeds over 90mph - on the race track of course, as a law-abiding citizen like myself would never exceed a posted highway speed limit) puts somewhat extreme requirements for isolating earphones. Why the isolation in our age of advanced electronic ANC? Because the latter doesn't come close to silencing the main enemy of biker ears: the wind noise. I've tried the best ones like Sony LInkbuds S (forget your typical mediocre Airpods Pro). They do very little even with long foam tips. It was tempting to look for triple-flange ones (see below on foam tips in general), but why try to fix the weak ANC at all? Instead of proven passive sound isolation. No miracles about foam. One reviewer here praised yellow Shure tips, which I also tried. I don't think it's the shape of my ear canal. All mentioned by him "Ety diehards" (yours truly) do have a point about the triple-flange tips. In all my experience: trying the supplied foam tips with the ER6i years ago, and similarly with this ER3SE: both the ones that came with it, and the old ER6i ones, the isolation was dismal. There was no revelation with the suggested yellow Shure tip either. Foam doesn't block the noise, period. I wonder where 30db NRR ratings come from. Plugging a perfect hole in the wall instead of a real human ear? The longest I found: Comply P-Series tips do block some wind noise in a full-face helmet, however like all foam ones, not enough to my liking. Now to the triple-flange tips. BTW forget about double- and single-flanged ones. The included ones are only good for making spacers to use with old gray triple-flange ones from ER6is. What about the better looking translucent tips, that came with ER3SE? Here's the huge design flaw of the newer ER series vs. the tiny ER6i from 15 years ago. The earphone body stem is too long and wide, causing severe pain, when inserted deep in the ear - necessary to block the outside noise. Shure SE series have the same diameter pipe with one crucial difference: the tip itself has a longer stem, so only the soft silicone goes into your ear canal. Not the hard plastic wrapped with silicone. You may have high pain tolerance and try to insert those things deep, especially wet. Which brings another word of caution: don't lick the tips in a classic Etymotic manner. It's a recipe for middle ear infection. Don't ask me how I know. I use water now. And that (a week of crackling sound in your inflamed ear canal) is the best case scenario. If you keep ignoring the pain, hoping that your ears would widen inside (also suggested by some), you are going towards Positional Vertigo (aka BPPV): spinning head when changing body position - due to the damaged vestibular sensors located right there, by your ear drums. Again, don't ask me how I know. Luckily BPPV can be cured with a simple at-home physical therapy (Epley maneuver) all by yourself. I know, the determination to make ER3SE work like my old ER6i did. It wasn't until I tried Shures, that I figured out an acceptable solution: the longer triple-flange tips. I also tried Shure's own white ones, and for whatever reason they isolate well only on one model (SE425). Not almost identical size-wise SE215 (which sounds better than a more expensive 425 IMO), and not Ety ER. But longer-stem "Almond" tips did the trick. FWIIW get them (see ASIN in the pic) instead of (also long enough to cut) Shure tips. Or get both, cut the right length, and compare. Other than the isolation issue, ER3SE sound way better (enough bass and crystal clear highs) than the old ER6i, and also better than Shure SE215, let alone more "professional" SE425 - at least to my non-musician ears listening mostly to EDM. I just wish Etymotic brought back their unique ER6i, that could block ANY noise. It'd be nice to offer short "helmet-only" cord. One more tip on inserting the tips. Unlike the ER6i, when the deep (and painful) insertion rewarded you with more isolation, these ones just cause pain. Unfortunately the outside sound can only be muted to a certain degree in my ears (consistent with slightly less isolating Shure 425s). ## Frequently Bought Together - Etymotic ER3SE Studio Edition Earphone,Black - Anker USB C to 3.5mm Audio Adapter, Male to Female Nylon Cable for Samsung S20/S20+/S20 Ultra, Pixel 4/+ 4XL, and More Type C Devices - JSAUX USB Type C to 3.5mm Female Headphone Jack Adapter, USB C to Aux Audio Dongle Cable Cord Compatible with iPhone 16 Pro Max/15 Pro/15, Samsung Galaxy S24/S23/S22 Ultra, iPad Pro, Pixel 9/8 Grey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/53116163-etymotic-er3se-studio-edition-earphone-black](https://www.desertcart.id/products/53116163-etymotic-er3se-studio-edition-earphone-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
