Etymotic ER-4XR Earphones

These earphones are a solid choice if you’re looking for wired audio with excellent sound quality and isolation. They’re designed for people who want detailed, accurate sound with a bit of extra bass, and they do a great job of blocking out external noise, which makes them useful in loud environments or when you just want to focus on your music.

However, the deep in-ear fit can be uncomfortable, especially if you’re not used to it. It takes some time to get the hang of wearing them, but once you do, the isolation and clarity are hard to match. They’re not the easiest earphones to use casually, but if you need strong isolation and are after precise sound, they’re a good wired option.
