## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many drivers per ear piece are there?**
A: From the manufacturer's website. "Using a single Balanced Armature (BA) driver allows for extremely accurate IEM without the added complexity of crossovers, and helps keep the aluminum body small and slim."

So that means 1/ear to me.

**Q: I have been using Etymotic mk5 phones for a long time... would these have a similar level of comfort, or perhaps be more comfortable?**
A: The ER3SE earphones are as comfortable as your choice of earplugs.  You have a lot of options including those from other vendors.  I have seen the three-lobe models, two-lobe models, foam, and made-to-order custom-fit earplugs.  Personally, I found the two-lobe earplugs to be comfortable and Westone makes a very comfortable custom-fit earplug that will last for several years.  If price is not a problem, I highly recommend the Westone made-to-order earplugs for the ER3SE.  They provide the most comfort and the best noise isolation.

**Q: Can the main detachable peice be replaced (not the detachable foam part but the main driver)? I'm getting low volume on one side.**
A: With low sound on one side, the first thing to do would be to replace the filter.  It's probably clocked with earwax.  They're replaceable and that's what they're there for. Otherwise, when I sent in a pair of earphones, they replaced the earpiece/driver on one side.

**Q: Are these good for listening to music through my phone? Or are these just made for studios?**
A: I use them with my phone all the time.  They are really good at blocking the outside noise.  I love them when I'm flying.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performs well- quite expensive
*by A***R on 1 August 2021*

Good sound quality- would prefer a better base response

### ⭐⭐ Congested and mid bloated with a warm signature.
*by S***B on 3 February 2019*

I have the etymotic ermk-5's and love them... They are open, detailed, spacious and have great realism and air. The x3se... The detail is greater and you can hear a lot but at the cost of the openness and realism. Whilst listening to 24bit hans Zimmer I could tell the clarinet was a clarinet with the ermk-5s but with the x3se's the air was lost and it sounded synthetic. Also I find the x3se a little dark sounding with very rolled off treble. The bass is fine and I have no idea why anyone would buy the xr version as I find the se too bassy. It's bassier than my Bose and way bassier than my audeze sines and the x3se lacks high end sparkle. The mids are so forward I can only imagine them being suitable for audio book listening or on a positive note maybe an artist on stage to monitor his vocals. The soundstage is quite congested with the sound coming from my eyebrows. The £60 etys when compared sound very very open with the sound filling the room I'm in with ease and the bass being very controlled and less boomy than the x3's with a fuller feel and better sub bass. I was excited about these as the price difference should have made them quite special, but what I discovered is a very mediocre pair of headphones with a cheap plastic sound... Get the £60 pound etys as in my opinion they are the best earphones I have had with a real true to life and engaging sound. To clarify. I have no problem with seal as they both etys seal the same and I tested with several players. Cayin n3 with topping nx4 dsd dac/amp and my ibasso players, cowon players as well as a couple of other amps I have. I compared to the ermk-5's (as mentioned) Also the KZ zs10's which are more revealing than the x3's but with a bloated bass and a little sibilance at times... I then compared against full-size headphones namely my bose quiet comforts which are not great but brilliant for what they are designed for and my audeze sines which show how much all the earphones I mentioned miss in the highs. All in all the ermk-5s with topping nx4 dsd are the best with a very revealing, honest and open sound. I do crave a little more highs though.
