According to our earbuds expert
Enjoy your favorite music in silence with the Etymotic HF5. These earbuds have a closed in-ear design, isolating 35 to 42dB of ambient noise. You won't have to turn up the volume to be able to clearly hear all the details of a song. The frequency range of 20 to 15,000Hz lets you hear a balanced sound reproduction. Both bass and treble, such as singing voices, are clearly audible in the mix. In the box, you'll find a tool that easily lets you remove the filters beneath the sleeves. This way, you can prevent your sound reproduction from being affected by dirt or dust.

Yes, you can see it perfectly in the picture. They are beautiful matte black IEMs with a ditto cord (which is FWIH reinforced with kevlar). The cord is much more resistant to knots than, for example, the Klipsch S4. When you have them in you don't really see much of them, except for the little 'sticks' from your ear.
Comfort
I read everywhere on the net that the triple flanged tips normally insulate the best. However, I only got a small set of these tips, and not the big ones. Although I have quite small ears, the triple flanged tips gave really bad insulation. However, when I tried the glider tips it was perfect. It took my ears a few hours to get used to them, but after that they fit perfectly and provide very good insulation. It doesn't really belong here, but these also suffer quite a bit from microphonics (hearing the cord rubbing on your clothes fairly loudly). This improves if you wear the cords over your ear, but that's not what they are really intended for.
sound quality.
I let them burn in for about 70 hours (just music played at slightly louder than normal listening level). Because of the burn in, there is a difference in the space for me, the soundstage sounds wider. But first and foremost, if you like a lot of bass, stay away from these etys. They have a beautiful sparkling treble reproduction, and a very bright mid-frequency range. The bass is very accurate but simply not very strong. When I set up the bass boost of my Fiio E5, I find the bass reproduction (personally!) perfect. Be careful with low bitrates, because these IEMs punish you completely for that.

I bought the Etymotic hf5 because of the beautiful tonal balance and because you can have custom sleeves made, which greatly increases the music experience. You are literally surrounded by a pallet of tones and that's how music should sound. That's the sound of music and I love it!!!

What a great sound comes out of this! At first I wondered where the basses had gone (had read earlier that there was too little bass) but that really has to do with wrongly chosen earplugs! Because after a bit of testing with the different earplugs, I finally found the right one and placed it well in the ear (also important!) And wow(!) what a clear sound and super nice tight basses! I'm totally happy with it, with the highs, the middles and the bass! ;-)
