Filter Tuning Kit
Our ears don’t all hear sound the same way. Age, ear shape, and hearing damage can influence how we perceive music. That’s why Etymotic gives you the ability to customize your ER series earphones with a variety of dampers. Each damper/filter changes the acoustic resistance inside the earphone, subtly shaping the sound you hear. The result is a personal listening experience that’s tailored to you.
This set includes a filter removal tool and 5 damper types, each with its own sound signature:
• Green (1500 Ohms – Accurate) The most neutral option. Provides precise, accurate sound reproduction true to the original recording. Perfect for critical listeners and reference use.
• Orange (3300 Ohms – Warmer) Adds warmth by slightly softening higher frequencies, creating a smoother, more relaxed listening experience. Ideal for long sessions or those who prefer a gentler tonal balance.
• Red (2200 Ohms – Accuracy + Warmth) Balances the detail of the Green damper with the warmth of the Orange. Great for listeners who want clarity without straying into brightness.
• White (680 Ohms – Increased Detail) Emphasizes detail by slightly lifting higher frequencies. Brings out subtle textures and nuances, making instruments and vocals sound more immediate.
• Brown (1000 Ohms – Detail & Accuracy) A balanced option that highlights both precision and clarity. It delivers accurate sound reproduction while adding just enough detail to bring out subtle nuances, making it a versatile choice for listeners who want the best of both worlds.
Why should you change your dampers?
Your earphones don’t have to sound the same forever. By swapping dampers, you can tailor your ER series earphones to match your mood, music, or hearing changes. Whether you want precise accuracy, more warmth, or added detail, these filters give you the flexibility to control your sound.
When to replace: If the volume begins to drop noticeably, or if filters become clogged with earwax or debris, it’s time to switch them out.
