There’s no shortage of excellent headsets for the iPhone, but too often it’s been impossible for me to find something of equal quality for Android or BlackBerry. Sure, you can plug in the headphones themselves and they’ll work on everything, but the microphone and in-line buttons never do, turning your expensive headset into just another pair of in-ear headphones.
The Etymotic MC2 Headset solves this problem by offering universal compatibility – headphones, buttons and microphone all work on iOS, Android, BlackBerry and HP WebOS. The headphones themselves aren’t shabby either… these are the best £75 headphones you can buy, with superior noise cancellation and a rich sound too.
You can also get a sense of the style that quite figuratively drips off this headset in the picture above, with a cool polished black aluminium finish. Even the cabling is high quality; the cables have been reinforced with Kevlar (yes, that bullet-stopping stuff) to ensure they’ll easily outlast the two year warranty.
The kit also comes with a selection of earbuds of various shapes and sizes, so you can find the best fit for your ears. You can also see there’s a stylish clamp on the right, which you can attach to your ear if you feel the need. Or you could probably use it to clip the line to your shirt, whichever you prefer.
These are top quality headphones, unique in their universal operability and unmatched at their price point for aural accuracy. Check out the Etymotic MC2 product page for more information.
