MK5 Isolator Earphones

What I love most about these "blast from the past" original Etymotic IEMs, the MK5 Isolator. Think of the foam tips and the design as one of your most comfortable pillows. Literally, like having a nice comfortable pillows inside your ear canal. It blocks out outside noise just like those 3M high DB neon ear plugs. And the sound, similar to ER4XR with slightly extended lows and crystal clear mids and very little high end sibilance. However, being that it's a entry level Ety's it does cap out on the low end if you EQ bias it too much whereas the ER4XR has no issues whatsoever. But it's definitely worth tryout out a pair!

These are the best earphones I have ever owned. The sound quality is great, they fit comfortably in my small ears and the best part is how durable they are. I really like how affordable they are, too. I bought mine in Nov 2021 and they are still going strong in Jan 2023.

These are used with my Sena 50S with my Bell helmet and work great. Keeps out unwanted noise buts let's me hear my GPS with clarity. Also used with my tablet and works great.

I've used these for years inside my Shoei helmets with a Sena 10C. Won't use anything else. Great for protecting ears from wind and motor noise and I can listen to soft Quartet Jazz or Classical while riding. I don't need the long cord but I wrap up the excess with a cord wrapper and then seal it with electrical tape for just the right length.

I had used a competitors ear bud, and it wouldn't stay in my ear. These really reduce noise, stay in place, and sound great. Couldn't be happier with these.
