Etymotic ER-6i April 5th, 2005 | by Brandon King

Conclusion

The Etymotic ER-6i are a great all around addition to the canal phone options on the market. The sound signature was a little odd, with strong emphasis on highs and lows, and mids that drifted a little more than we liked, but they are easily driven from any portable device, fit extremely well, and produce excellent sound overall. Sound it very accurate and tight, and while they were great for PC gaming, they really shined on the PSP.

Pros:

-          Fit very comfortably

-          Strong emphasis on high and low frequencies

-          Matches the Apple iPod décor

-          A good all around canal phone

Cons:

-          Can be difficult to remove

-          Durability is questionable

-          Mid-range frequencies are lacking sometimes

-          Very thin cord, prone to twisting
