The editors didn't like

  • The earphones look daft

  • Degraded performance with most other Bluetooth devices

  • Not so much an audio accessory as a space-age ear-wear. The ety8s don’t look great, and you have to ram them into your ears, but they sound superb. Etymotic Research ety8 is tagged with etymotic research, headphones and mp3. Select a tag (etymotic r...

  • Abstract:  Etymotic is well known for its noise-isolating earphones, but the ety8s are its first foray into the world of wireless sound. The drawback is obvious - pop the ety8s in and youll swiftly become the subject of curious stares and pointing children. E...

  • Decent performance with an iPod, external audio controls
  • Expensive, not particularly stylish, degraded performance with most other Bluetooth devices
  • The ety8s are an intriguing experiment but you’re gonna have to really want to lose the wires to shell out

  • Excellent sound quality
  • The earphones look daft
  • These weird-looking contraptions are Bluetooth earphones, comprising two earpieces and a transmitter that plugs into the bottom of your iPod. You can pair the phones with other Bluetooth devices (but theres no microphone so its pointless hooking it ...

  • Abstract:  Well you certainly get a lot of bits for your bucks with these in-ear, noise-cancelling headphones. The two little blocks contain battery packs and support wireless Bluetooth connectivity. Plug the transmitter in to your iPod – it’s an iPod-specific c...

  • CDquality Bluetooth stereo audio, Easy to use controls, Lightweight
  • No phone support on the ety8, No ability to pair 8Mate iPod adapter with other devices, The 8Mate iPod adapter has no power standby mode, Pricey
  • The ety8 earphones deliver on the promise of CD quality audio using Bluetooth technology. They provide excellent isolation in noisy environment. Although it does take a little time to get use to having the earphones in your ear canal, once you do t...
