Etymotic Research er89-2 etyBLU2 Wireless Bluetooth Headset




Product Description

A serious Bluetooth headset for serious users of wireless headset technology. The upgraded version of the popular etyBLU headset contains etyBLU’s highly-directional, noise-canceling microphone in a fixed-boom configuration, a design change that allows optimal antenna placement for improved range between headset and mobile phone. etyBLU2's noise-canceling microphone picks up the talker's voice within a narrow range and rejects background noise that comes from outside that range. The combination of an in-ear noise-isolating earphone that blocks out 98% of background noise and a directional microphone placed close to the mouth results in exceptional sound quality and clear communication at both ends of the conversation. The etyBLU2 is particularly suited for power mobile phone and home office users because it provides hours of comfortable wear. Unlike "cheekbone" Bluetooth headsets - which require the user to raise his or her voice so the sound is picked up by the microphone located far from the speaker's mouth - the etyBLU2 headset allows people to speak in normal or even low tones and be heard clearly, even when surrounded by noise. In addition, etyBLU2 listeners can hear conversations clearly without raising headset sound volumes to uncomfortable levels, so they don't experience ear fatigue. Users can comfortably engage in wireless phone conversations for up to seven hours at a stretch. Designed with Etymotic’s breakthrough ACCU Technology 30-30 noise-reduction technology, the etyBLU2 headset provides 30 dB of noise cancellation at the microphone plus 30 dB of noise isolation at the ear.


  • Flexible boom with bi-directional microphone provides best-in-class speech clarity
  • High-output 8mm moving coil driver offers best-in-class output level and sound quality
  • Rejects 10 times more noise than cheekbone style wireless headsets
  • Includes 4 ACCU, Fit noise-isolating eartips, USB charging cable, windscreen and 2-year warranty
  • Option to upgrade to an Etymotic CUSTOM FIT earmold provided in box

3.0 out of 5 stars Keeps falling out of my ear!, September 26, 2010
This review is from: Etymotic Research er89-2 etyBLU2 Wireless Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I've used a Plantronics Discovery for years with no problems, but decided that after five years it was time to try a newer headset. This Etymotic headset is very nicely designed and lightweight. After trying it out for a week, here is my experience with it:

PROS
* It comes with a variety of earpieces in different sizes and materials so you can customize it to your ear.

* The volume and on/off buttons are easy to locate while you are wearing it.

* The audio is very clear on both ends of the call (I had a friend use it to call me so I could see how it sounds.)

* The battery life seems fine.

CONS
* Despite which earpiece I try, it won't stay in my ear even with the included ear clip. After a few minutes of use, or if I turn my head, it starts slipping out and I have to reinsert it.

* The volume, even on high, is too low for me to hear in a noisy location.

* The buttons are stiff and difficult to... Read more

This review is from: Etymotic Research er89-2 etyBLU2 Wireless Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I wanted a headset both to pair with my phones and my computer for VoIP use. I've used Etymotic products before, and their headset stood out as having the best mix of features, comfort and ease of use, so I gave it a try.

The packaging is fairly minimal, although let me take a moment to complain about one of my pet peeves: "human-proof" packaging - took me a good five minutes armed with sharp knives and scissors to get everything out of the box. Other than that, inside the box you find the headset itself, a collection of ear tips, a foam windscreen for the microphone and a short (6") micro-USB charging cable. There's no separate charger or AC power source - you need to plug the USB cable into a computer, powered USB hub or some other device.

The various earpieces are easily changed and it seems like there's enough variety that most people will find one they're comfortable with. The unit is very light and comfortable, and can be adjusted to fit in a totally... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally a Decent Bluetooth Headset with a Boom Arm., September 21, 2010

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
Finally found a bluetooth headset with a boom arm microphone that I like. Other ones I have seen are extremely large and look awkward to wear. I prefer boom arm microphones rather than the ones that the mic is part on the unit and sits on your cheek closer to your ear. It has been my experience that bluetooth microphones that sit back further from your mouth seem to pick up a lot of background noise and your voice does not transmit as clearly. The etyBLU headset comes with a flexible boom arm that can be adjusted closer to your mouth to so you can be heard without background noises, and it comes with a bi-directional microphone so your voice is clearly heard.

It can be worn for long periods of time without ear fatigue. It is extremely lightweight and balances perfectly in my ear. The earpiece sits deep into the ear and it comes with 5 different size ear tips so you have the best comfortable fit. The volume could be better, even when I have it turned up to the maximum...
