Etymotic invented noise-isolating, in-ear earphones. Etymotic's original design, developed for auditory research and hearing testing, used balanced-armature receivers and established these speakers as the gold standard for high-definition, in-ear earphones.
The Etymotic Research ER4P-T In-Ear Earphones are designed to measure, protect and improve hearing, and enhance the listening experience of music lovers everywhere. Audio engineers, musicians and audiologists at Etymotic have generated over 100 patents issued and pending.
