As a company founded by an audiologist, Etymotic places high value on balancing listening pleasure with listening safety. Etymotic’s roots lie in the development of hearing aids, companion mics, and ear protection for musicians and sound engineers. When it came time to expand into the consumer market, founders Mead Killion and Ed DeVilbiss drew on their technological advances to design a line-up of headphones and earbuds that deliver superb sound without sacrificing hearing health. When you purchase an Etymotic product, rest assured that you’re in for a superior listening experience…that won’t cost you your hearing.
