  Thanks for that! Excellent article. Too bad that they're not quite "there yet" but it's about what I expected Edit: ah they look similar in construction and filtering to the etymotic ones I have from years ago. They work well indeed. But etymotic seem to be unavailable now. They don't seem to have a version with volume control though just like etymotic.

    > They don't seem to have a version with volume control though just like etymotic. Are you talking about Airpods? The second generation Pros actually do have volume controls. The stem is touch sensitive and you can drag a finger up or down it to change the volume. You can also use different gestures to play/pause, skip, rewind, change transparency modes, etc. These all work on Android and Windows too, FWIW.

      No I was talking about passive earbuds here. With dampening only. The edit was on the wrong post. I had meant to put it on this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38805601 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38805601 Hence the confusion, sorry.
