Etymotic Evo Earphone review – Refined Balance
Evo
$499
Pros
- Excellent build, mastering signature
- Solid shells, Cool modern design
- Transparent neutral detail
Cons
- Cable thinness a concern for durability
- Nozzles pretty long, so care needed
- Upper region harshness with less warm sources
Lovely looking blue shell design with T2 cables wrapped around foam circular block, this fits inside the metal case, featured further down in the review.
The standard Evo model priced (at time of writing) at $499.99 comes with a Estron Linum BaX T2™ Cable, a Aluminum Case and Cloth Bag along with 2 Flange, 3 Flange, and Foam Eartips. Some Replacement Filters with Filter replacement tool.
Addition cable options are available – T2 SuperBax, T2 Etymotion BT for wireless connection and T2 UltraBax cable for an additional, $75, $100 and $125 respectively (at time of writing).
These upgrade options were not provided for this review but some pictures are include below for reference.
It would have been nice to see the Etymotion BT included with all the cable options as part of the package as the T2 connector does not have many aftermarket vendors so the inclusion would have been welcome but its not a deal breaker.
As you can see there overall package is pretty comprehensive and has a premium feel that make you feel you are getting a fair amount of items for your purchase.
