No doubt looking forward to it, esp for a $79 IEM.

MC5 is rated 85% accurate by Ety, same as HF5 (which says a lot). While manufacturer rating usually should not to be taken seriously, Ety does employ a more scientific and consistent calculation for their rating system. It will be interesting to see how MC5 compared with HF5.

I agree @ ClieOS. I thought the HF5 was fantastic except for lack of bass impact. Actually, you could hear the bass, it just didn't have any good impact....

Same for ER4P/er6i to me (never heard HF5), so this is very interesting re Ety.

Anyone have any info on the release dates for the Etymotic MC3/HF3? Just very strange that Etymotic never even narrowed it down to a specific month (especially for the HF3, I mean c'mon, it's only adding two buttons to the remote). Last I read on some forum posts, it was maybe April. I emailed Etymotic and haven't gotten a response. I did see an ad for the MC3 in an April issue of some Apple product magazine.

The ironic thing is for $79 I am not too tempted thinking how good could it possible sound?  Like I think I would be more tempted and excited if it was priced at $200.  Strange....
 
If it's the Best Under $100 I guess they will have achieved their goal.
 
Look forward to impressions and comparisons to HF5.

 

[mark2410]

im sure they are an interesting product but really how long to launch these, has it not been about a year?
 
pretty mind

yep I've more or less lost interest in them taking their sweet sweet time releasing it
 

 

[ClieOS]

It was announced on CES2010 at January.

 

[Spyro]

Yea, no biggee....W3 was in development about 2 1/2 years if I recall.

 

[ethan961]

I wonder if this means that Edge Acoustics one I found a while ago will be launched now.

So what are we saying?  They just announced it on their website and are taking orders but it is still not available?
 

 

[ClieOS]

They are only taking order for MC5, not the MC3 and HF3 in question.

 

[jleewach]

ughhh.... I WANT THESE NOW! 

 

[Inks]

cool, i'm thinking of pulling the trigger on these now that they are released.
