$149.00
Released August, 2008
The Pros:Completely block out any external noises, excellent noise isolation. Bass response sounds very natural and clear. Comes with a good range of sizes of ear plugs for the best fit possible.
The Cons:Need about 20-25 hours of play before they're properly broken in and sound right. So effective at noise isolation that they're dangerous to wear if you're out walking, driving or hiking.

Etymotic recommends changing the filters if the loudness decreases or sound quality deteriorates. HF stands for High Fidelity and Etymotic ensures the headphones live up to their name by testing them with the same technology as used in the production of hearing aids to create an accurate response to the high frequency boost added by the studios in high quality recordings. As well, they use two methods in order to measure noise isolation, the Real-Ear-attenuated-at-Threshold (REAT) and the Probe Microphone Methods which are explained in detail on the manufacturer website. The hf5 is aimed at anyone looking for a smaller pair of earphones with high end noise isolation and sound reproduction.
