A virtually invisible mono in-ear monitor with a single-sided curly cable, the Bubblebee Industries Sidekick 3 updates the Sidekick's micro-speaker driver, so the entire unit fits comfortably in the ear while delivering crystal-clear cues, with a smoother frequency response and deeper lows even in noisy environments. This redesign eliminates the need for acoustic tubes, resulting in a visually discreet appearance and no compromise to intelligibility.
Thanks to the low-profile earpiece and ultrathin, lightweight cable that loops around the ear, the Sidekick 3 remains comfortable to wear without fatigue, all day and well into the night. Three kinds of eartips are included to allow sonic options such as low or high ambience. Stay attuned to the environment around you, or block it out. The 3.5mm TRS connector ensures compatibility with the headphone jacks on most devices.
Invisible in Your Ear
Designed to fit inside the ear canal, the Sidekick 3 driver unit is so small that it is not visible when worn in the ear.
New Cable Loop
The Sidekick 3's cable loop guides the cable behind the ear, hiding it from sight and making the Sidekick virtually invisible when worn. You can now use the earpiece in either the left or right ear, your choice.
New Driver over Previous Model
The newly designed driver boasts an extended frequency response, allowing the user to hear a more rounded, higher quality of audio. It's tough and resilient, tested with tolerances up to three times higher than previous Sidekick versions.
Versatile Volume Control
A lower impedance driver allows the user a greater range of volume control and can comfortably be used with a lower-output device such as a mobile phone.
Adapt to Your Environment
The Sidekick 3 features three different types of eartips, allowing the user to adapt the varying levels of external ambience: Satellite (high ambience), Christmas Tree (low ambience), and Round (increased low-frequency definition).
Curly Cable
The 48" cable features a curly design with strain relief.
Discreet
The super low profile of the Sidekick 3 cable is 44% thinner than the first generation cable, with a diameter of only 33μm. The color-neutral cable easily blends into almost any background without being noticed on camera.
Increased Comfort
Wear your Sidekick 3 for 20 hours straight with no fatigue. It weights just 360 milligrams excluding the cable. The Sidekick 3 cable is 50% lighter than the first generation Sidekick cable, allowing for a virtually fatigue-free experience.
Tough and Durable
Using Kevlar-reinforced cables, the Sidekick 3 is one piece, from termination to driver, and is made to last. The eartips are easy to clean, and the driver's filter is easily replaceable.
Conventional Connection
A 3.5mm TRS mini-jack connector means compatibility with most wireless receivers, accessories, and phones.
