Verkeert in nieuwstaat, retour gekomen van een klant en nu scherp geprijsd! De etymotic er2se oortjes zijn hoogwaardige in-ear monitors die ontworpen zijn voor een uiterst nauwkeurige en neutrale gelu
At €89, this sits above the recent used-market median of €58 and also above the 75th percentile at €75, so it reads ambitious rather than fair on price alone. With only 2 recent comparables, I’d still say it’s not a wild outlier, but buyers should expect either unusually clean condition or meaningful extras to justify the premium.
That said, this is a well-regarded in-ear: Etymotic’s ER2SE is known for neutral tuning, strong isolation, and very good detail for the money, which is exactly why it has a loyal following. If the tips, cable, and case are included and the drivers are clean, it can still be a worthwhile buy for someone who wants a reference-style listen and values fit/isolation over bass warmth.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# Etymotic
Founded in 1983 by Dr. Mead Killion and Edwin DeVilbiss, Etymotic emerged from deep roots in acoustic research and the hearing aid industry. The company's name—derived from Greek, meaning "true to the ear"—reflects its engineering-driven philosophy. Headquartered in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, Etymotic is now part of Lucid Audio, a privately held parent company. The brand pioneered insert earphones in 1984, initially developed as diagnostic instruments for hearing assessment and auditory research before transitioning to consumer markets.
Etymotic's product portfolio centers on precision earphones and in-ear monitors, establishing the company as a specialist rather than a generalist audio manufacturer. Beyond consumer earphones, the brand produces hearing protection, personal sound amplifiers, and professional-grade insert earphones for audiometry and speech-in-noise testing. The 1991 release of the ER4S and ER4B marked a watershed moment, introducing the first commercially available universal-fit in-ear monitor to the world. The company has maintained a singular focus on single-driver earphone design while competitors embraced multi-driver configurations.
Etymotic occupies a respected niche within the audiophile and professional audio communities. The brand is recognized for uncompromising sound quality and clinical accuracy rather than mass-market appeal, positioning itself as a high-fidelity specialist. Its reputation rests on rigorous acoustic engineering, medical-grade heritage, and a loyal following among musicians, audio engineers, and discerning listeners who prioritize transparency and precision over consumer-friendly aesthetics or marketing hype.
