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
The Etymotic ER2SE is a respected single-dynamic-driver reference IEM known for exceptional passive noise isolation and accurate sound, making this €89 listing a strong deal against current used market data. Based on three recent EUR comparable listings, the median asking price is €92, with the 25th percentile at €58 and the 75th at €124; sitting just below the median, this price is fair and competitive, especially compared to new retail prices hovering around €137–€149.
What makes this a worthwhile buy is the ER2SE’s legendary 35–42 dB noise attenuation, detachable MMCX cable for future upgrades, and Etymotic’s signature neutral, detailed tonality ideal for studio monitoring or critical listening. Since the price is below the median and the condition is unspecified but likely standard for a used unit, there’s no need to flag caveats unless the listing reveals missing accessories or wear. For enthusiasts seeking a reliable, high-isolation IEM without paying new retail, this is a solid buying opportunity.
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.
