The Etymotic name may not be well-known among the general public, but to earphone snobs, it's as familiar as the names of their children and spouses. The company built its reputation on its excellent pro-level in-ear monitors, which cost hundreds of dollars. But with the mc5 in-ear headphones, Etymotic has produced a much more affordable IEM that's equally impressive.
In-ears with slightly leaner sound than rivals
Etymotic mc5! It's quite a different piece of audio device that we all come to expect. Come and see what we have to say about it!
Etymotic introduces a new-entry level model. Do they deliver?
The MC5 earphones sound generally well-balanced, but their noise isolation isn't as effective as we hoped.
The mc5 might feature better tech than the hf2s, but while they are good, it's no cigar
The Etymotic Research MC5 is a capable dynamic-driver earphone from a company that doesn’t normally do dynamic drivers.
