Even though we don’t discuss accessories with products regularly, it’s essential with the ER-4 MicroPro. You could split the actual product to its accessories 50-50. The core half of the ER-4 MicroPro earphones contains multiple pairs of black foam eartips, flange eartips, filters, a filter changing tool, a shirt clip and a stereo phone adapter plug. Everything, including the earphones, is secured in a professional casing to contain the various minute components.

The inclusion of eartips with the package is self-explanatory; the idea is to include multiple pairs with dissimilar sizes to make sure that listeners with diverse ear structures have no problem fitting the earphones snuggly inside the ears.

The image of the ER-4 MicroPro defines the exterior of the earphones with nothing much to discuss. However, we would like to state that the ER-4 MicroPro do offer natural noise canceling technology, meaning you can block out excess noise when listening to your favorite audio source. The concept is simple: these earphones require you to insert them deeply inside the ear. Once you have done that, the earphones are so deep inside that noise will automatically be blocked. Even though there’s nothing technological about it (except the structure of the earphones), they are a healthy prescription to not only excess noise but also listening at elevated volume levels. What many of us tend to do is increase the volume to prevent us from hearing anything, but what we are listening to. In the long run, this behavior has a negative impact on our hearing, which gradually strays, as we get older. According to Etymotic, the snuggly fit deeply inside the ear would make sure that you listen to audio at lower volume, thereby ensuring safer listening levels.
