5 out of 5 stars etymotic ety8 bluetooth earphones review.......2007-12-18

I bought this pair of earphones for a recently purchased Samsung Yp-P2 mp3 player with built-in bluetooth. I was not sure if these would work because of the ipod adapter, but they were very easy to set up with the p2. They have fantastic sound quality, especially for bluetooth headphones. Although they do look a little strange, after a little while with them in your ears, you'll forget you have them on. They are surprisingly very lightweight. The different attachments that go in your ear were also very helpful. I have had problems with the fit of earphones, but i was able to find the right attachments for my ears with this etymotic set. The noise cancellation was surprisingly outstanding too, even though it is only noise-isolating. I could not hear people talking near me unless i put my ear right up to their mouth. My only complaint is that in the spaces between songs, their is some static. I also would not recommend purchasing these if you intend to use them for running or anything like that.

Pros
-sound quality-best i've heard so far
-great bass but not overpowering
-comfort
-ease of use

Cons
-looks
-some static
-have to hold on to right earphone while pressing controls

5 out of 5 stars Prepare yourself for these earphones.......2007-09-27

Up front, I have to say, if you have no patience, don't get these. But if you're willing to give yourself a little bit of a curve to get used to them, they are worth every penny. You'll never give them up.

I've played music all my life, and sound fidelity is important to me. When I first got the ETY 8 earphones as a gift, the form almost overcame the function for me. It took some getting used to the in-ear placement of the earphones - you really have to get them placed deeply into your ear, which felt odd at first, and took some practice to be able to do quickly. Then, there was the sort of odd feel of the two pieces hanging off my ears. Plus, they look a little bit odd. OK, so I got over the oddness. The earphones are actually very light, and once you get used to the feel, you forget they're there. Because they'd been a gift, I kind of felt obligated to use them, so I powered thru the initial getting-used-to it period, and then I started to understand what these earphones are all about.

It's about real sound. Not over-cranked, duded-up bass, but real high fidelity sound. From a wireless earphone, which I didn't expect. I don't know of another pair of earphones that reproduces the original artists' sound with so faithfully. No kidding. It's really different than the deep pulsing bass you get with Bose and many other earphones on the market. You hear the individual instruments, and the color of the sound. And the noise isolation function of this type of in-ear insertion is superior. I can be riding the Muni bus downtown and be in a world of my own. Even on an airplane, the sense of uninterrupted sound clarity is flat out awesome.

If you like driving around in a car with your radio blaring and your bass shaking the drivers around you, these are not the right earphones for you. But if you are a seeker of true high fidelity sound, go for them.

2 out of 5 stars I want to love these..........2007-05-28

I want to love these headphones. They are comfortable, they sound great, they noise isolate as well as any other set I own, and no wires! Other reviews say the range isn't great, but that isn't important to me - I generally have my iPod in backpack, bag, or pocket and just don't want wires dangling around me.

I was all set to give these a 5, but then I had a synchronization problem. I had my iPod in my hands, my headphones in my ears, and for whatever reason, I just couldn't hear the music - in fact, the little green light wouldn't come on on the transmitter - but the operation is just plug and play - couldn't have been a user error on my part. I sat on a plane between Portland, Oregon and Washington, D.C., cursing my headphones the whole way. Now the operation appears to be intermittent. I have no idea under what condition they will decide to work and when they won't, so I end up carrying a spare pair of earbuds with me.

3 out of 5 stars Love no wires.......2007-02-26

I love not having wires for my ipod. However, these bluetooth earbuds don't hold to the usual standards of quality sound that Etymotic claims.
I find the sound quality, for the price, mid-range. My bose earbuds for $99.00 sound better with greater depth in bass. I don't agree that they look wierd since they are very small and fit well in the ear. It is great to garden and ride my bike without getting tangled in wires so I am keeping them but feel more work needs to be done on the performance. Dr.Horn

2 out of 5 stars Great Sound But Poor Design and Range.......2007-02-24

Being the third bluetooth headset I bought (and the most expensive), I had high expectations of these Ety8s.
The biggest quirk is that the headphones shut off when I placed my finger near the FWD/NEXT button. Even the tech support could not understand how just getting close to the button would cause the phones to shut off, but I did not even have to press the button!
In an open gym, just 12 feet from my iPod would cause the sound to drop and stutter. I got much better range (almost 50 feet!) in the same gym with my iMuffs.
The ear plugs were also very uncomfortable when being inserted and did not get much better with time. I am used to the Shure E2c headphones, so in-ear is not new to me. With such a strange design (on top of it all, Etymotic needs to head back to the design board!
