The design of the Etymotic hf2 is fairly standard for a noise-isolating set. One thing to note, though, is that these go even further into the ear than many similar models. They come with three types of ear fittings: two sizes of triple-flange tips and one set of extra-long foam tips. Less

Research carefully

Pros Beautiful sound, good choice of earplugs, thoughtful design
Cons No volume control, expensive (for the hobbyist), for $200 an extension cord would be nice.
Recommended it? Yes

The hf2 headsets are exactly what Etymotic advertises.  There are no enhancements of highs and lows, only what sounds to be a nearly perfect reproduction of what the artist recorded in the studio.
I began researching headphones after stressing my out-of-the-box iphone headphones, which... Read full review »

For clarity and sound separation, hard to beat.

Pros Sound clarity, Sound separation, passive noise cancellation, even sound band
Cons fragile, less expansive sound, less bass, no pre-blending.  content quality matters
Recommended it? Yes

Bose, for example, focuses on creating a large expansive sound with depth because many people like that... Read full review »

Pros Lightweight, good sound quality

Recommended it? No

I suspect this product may have been cheapened somehow from earlier versions. Gone is the unimportant but notable fancy case I read about, replaced with a small cloth bag. And the price has dropped precipitously of late. Whatever has happened, this is no longer the product I read good reviews about... Read full review »

No to iPhones and Sound Quality

Pros Small and sleek, comfortable, light, looks like regular earbuds.
Cons Battery life, sound quality, lack controls for track skipping and volume
Recommended it? No

Shopping for a stereo bluetooth headset is no easy task. They are expensive, and thus, hard to convince a shop keep to tear a box open for you to try out.
