Deze etymotic oortjes zijn verkrijgbaar in originele verpakking en verkeren in uitstekende staat. Nu van €240,- naar €125,- ! Let op: dit betreft een hygiëne product, de oortjes zijn dus nog
€125 is a fair price for these Etymotic ER3XR earphones, sitting just above the median of €110 but well below the 75th percentile of €134. This is not a bargain, but it is a solid, honest market value for a used unit in EUR condition, avoiding the ambition of listings near or above €134.
The ER3XR is highly regarded for its smooth, neutral sound with mild bass elevation, offering resolution and detail on par with the more expensive ER4XR while running slightly warmer and darker. Built with CNC-machined anodized aluminum shells and tight tolerances, they deliver serious monitoring quality for producers and music lovers. At this fair price, a clean used listing represents a genuine buying opportunity, especially for someone seeking high technical capability without the premium of the ER4 series.
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.
