Etymotic Research EVO impressions and discussion thread

Yep, that's the X-Large double flange, which is the largest size made.

Thanks. I realized I had only one pair of those tips on me, probably from the sample pack when I bought my Evo, and wanted to get more.

Very sad. After 26 months, my Evo died. The right side is not working anymore. I have bax and superbax cables and adapters and the cables work with other iems Also tried changing the filters with no success. Very sad since the Evo were my favorite iems. I am afraid it will be impossible to repair this in my country. I bought them in the UK. They said EU warranty for 24 months. No warranty anymore.

Hey! Really sorry to hear this. Hope you can find a replacement. Sadly, I have contacted Etymotic and I was told they do not sell replacements and if I were to get my set going again, they offer a ridiculous 15% off... I have lost the right driver

Thanks for the info. Same right driver died. I have returned to my ER4XR.

Are these discontinued? I don't see them on the site anymore

Good question!
I wonder if Etymotic still does any product development or just sell out of old stock?

Best of luck.
I hope the customer service is better on the other side of the pond... In Canada, sadly, all they want is to sell stuff... and offered me a tiny discount for a new pair. I will NEVER EVER purchase Etymotic products again and would NEVER recommend their products, even though they are good, not worth it at all.

Right before my position was eliminated, I believe the decision was made to discontinue the EVO. I am not sure if there is any dealer stock left out there or not.

What a bummer, I really liked them at the 2023 can jam NYC and I spoke to the ety crew about them, unfortunately I couldn't afford them at the time. Now I understand why BH photo blew out their supply at $299 a pair

I really, really like my EVO. I had been holding out for the quad-driver prototype I heard at Canjam London one year – it was fantastic – but in the meantime I bought a used and well-treated EVO. Now I wish I had a second, just in case.

Sonically I'm more of an SR guy, but filterrolling got the EVO to a really nice sweet spot for me.

Yeah, I was really bummed that I couldn't bring that prototype to market. I liked the way that turned out.

@AnyDave, it sounded just great. I'm so sorry you didn't get to release it. I'd have ordered one right away.
