London, UK, April 06, 2005 - Widget UK Ltd, a leading supplier of mobile technology and accessories, today announced the launch of the Etymotic ER-6i iPod earphones.

Unlike most earphones, ER-6i earphones were not only created specifically for the iPod but were designed to be placed just inside the actual ear canal. This enables them to offer superior bass and higher sensitivity for an improved listening experience, greater eardrum protection and reduced background noise. The ER-6i earphones are specially suited for loud environments such as the daily commute or during sporting events

Mark Needham, managing director, Widget UK Ltd, commented: "We are especially pleased to announce the launch of the ER-6i earphones, as iPod users up until now have had quite a limited choice in terms of quality earphones to choose from. The iPod is a serious piece of digital music technology and deserves an adequate pair of earphones to be used with it. With the use of the ER-6i earphones the iPod's full potential can now be fulfilled."

Etymotic ER-6i earphones - isolator earphones which are designed specifically for use with the Apple iPod and other small portable players, offering 8 dB higher overall sensitivity and slightly more bass than the ER-6 isolator earphones. The ER-6i earphones are lightweight, compact and fit in your pocket with no battery required.
