Etymotic Research MC3 and MC5
Sleek Look, True Ety Sound
Featuring the neutral sound and noise isolation that Etymotic has built its name on, plus a Kevlar-reinforced cable for added durability, the MC3 is a head turner in the sub-$100 category. Its build is sleeker and more modern than that of the original ER4, and the dynamic driver’s proprietary acoustic side-branch reconciles the sharp peaks and weak highs often associated with lower-cost moving-coil driver units. The result is a fuller, more balanced and immersive sound, with well-supported mids and tight, accurate bass.
Note: This drop’s base price is for the Etymotic Research MC3. At checkout, you can opt for the MC5, a nearly identical model without the inline microphone (- $15).
