If you're not a bass head and just want clarity and forward biased mids and highs, this is the IEM!

I have recently went on binge buying of all different version of Etymotics IEMs. This is my third one. The ER2SE "Studio Edition" I won't bore you with the all the details but you can read about some of these different models main characteristics on other reviews that I had left previously. But before I begin a disclaimer. If you're looking for that "knock your socks off" low end bass, this isn't the IEM you're looking for. In fact, please look elsewhere. However, if you're looking that fabulous forward biased mids and super clear upper trebles, this is the one. Like all other Etymotic models, this also share the main characteristics of almost all IEMs made by Etymotic IEMs which is that it provides very lively, dynamic, and clear audio and can be driven by pretty much any audio source. Due to this, often, you will experience that "wow that actually sounds like it's being performed live!" However, there's one caveat. In order to make the best use of the dynamic driver's on this model, it's best to use the triple or double flange ear tips. They provide noticeable timbre differences compares to that of say the Comply ear tips. Another subtle difference between this model and the ER4 series is that the SE sounds "too clean" so the fun factor is slightly diminished. However, it's definitely easier to drive using most portable sources.
Lastly, I am using white filters using large triple flange. Please be sure to watch the Youtube video that shows how to insert them properly. While you're inserting them into your ear canal, if you feel pain, you're approaching the ear tips into your ear canal on an incorrect angle or the size of tips you're using is too small or both. Also, be sure to dampen or moisten the ear tips so that it will adhere to the ear canal once inserted and remain in place and will not fluctuate the perceived audio coming from the drivers. One of the ways I verify if it was inserted correctly is once I have inserted them, I shake my head horizontally. If the sound stays consistent, then I know they were inserted correctly.
