Etymotic MC2 Android headphones review

With so many smartphone accessories geared towards Apple's products it's refreshing to see companies show Android some love. In this respect Etymotic's headphones are a massive improvement over iPhone-specific cans for Android owners

Simple control ; Decent reproduction ; Good bundle

Distortion levels ; Intrusive tips

Overall, a massive improvement over iPhone-specific earphones for Android, BlackBerry and wp7 users. However, these aren't the cutting-edge model, and the drivers reflect this. However, at £75, these are priced about right.
