Performance Summary…

In our performance tests, we tested Etymotic’s ETYCOM mobile phone headset with a standard cell phone as well as Skype. We also made sure we carefully assessed ETYCOM’s performance in normal situations, including, but not limited to, a noisy environment, a quiet environment and an intermediate environment where you are not directly exposed to peak noise levels. This ensures that we touch all criteria and usage patterns to deliver an objective verdict.

The performance, needless to say, was admirable. That shouldn’t necessarily be a surprise, since the headset is from Etymotic. The calls (both ways) were clear, but the most appreciative aspect of the ETYCOM is to let you speak softly. With other headsets, it’s usually a requirement for you to speak loudly so the other person can comprehend you. The ETYCOM headset was completely different. If anything, it encourages you to speak softly. There were no cracking or extraneous noises throughout our testing. This experience represents both cell phone and Skype usage.

The performance is great, the technologies and designs are admiring, but the wire has got to go. In today’s wireless age, where many of us are circling towards Bluetooth technology and wireless headsets, you must really appreciate your time on the cell phone for you to opt for a wired headset. With more and more headsets taking the wireless approach, it isn’t acceptable to have a cord dangling from the headset to the cell phone. We understand Etymotic is not necessarily on the cutting edge of consumer electronics and market trends, but in order for ETYCOM to be successful, especially with cell phones, there must be a wireless version.

For the average price of $35.99, this has to be the most worthwhile and worthy headset in the market. Not only do you get the Etymotic brand, but you also get reliability, quality and a proven track record from a dedicated earphones manufacturer. If cords are of no matter to you, there’s nothing as valuable as Etymotic’s ETYCOM headset.
