Etymotic Research hf2 iPhone Stereo Headset

The earphone upgrade market is becoming ever more crowded with quality products, but if you've just bought yourself a shiny new iPhone and don't already have a decent set, the Etymotic Reseach hf2s make a very good case for themselves.

If you're an iPhone user you won't need much convincing that the hf2s represent the perfect replacement for the awful set that comes in the box. The sound quality is a little light on bass, but impressive nonetheless, while the microphone makes taking calls a breeze, even in noisy environments. The ability to pause your music and skip tracks without taking your iPhone out of your pocket is also a bonus.

If you're major concern is sound quality, then you're probably better off looking at a set of Shure SE420s and a Shure Mobile Phone Adapter to go with it, but that's going to cost you far more. For most users though, Etymotic has produced the perfect companion for your iPhone.
