I've got the ER4S. Will never forget opening the package a few years ago and wondering if I had just blown $300 for nothing. That lasted until I got them in my ears and the music playing. Amazing.

I just bought the ER4P to complement my Shure E500's with an IEM having a drastically different sound profile. So far, they sound absolutely amazing! I can't say for sure whether I prefer the Ety's to the Shures (they are both excellent IEM's). But I am happy to have joined the Etymotic club and am fully enjoying the ER4P.

I sorry I dont have the time to read through all the posts.

If I only want a portable setup for traveling purposes( say Ipod 5.5 gen) + IEM which Etymotic ER4 should I get the P or the S or both opinions welcome

Er-4P is low impedance so it can run straight from your device, the Er-4S requires an amp.

You can also make the P IEMs S by using a simple cable from Etymotic if you want (or buy the package with that cable).

I just ordered a ER4P with the APuresound cable

This will be my first ER4 (though i had a ER6 in the past and loved the accurate sound)
I love the look of the Etys with Alex's cable.It looks really industrial and badass

I just ordered an ER6i and the Shure Black Olives (Everyone says they're better) for about triple what they are on Amazon, since Amazon won't ship earphones to New Zealand

I hope they're as good as I hope they are.

I have a set of Shure Black Olives that i got for my Atrios but didn't like the sound with them.I hope they will work better with ER4P

I hope it is ok to ask about where is the best place to buy the ER4P

I notice that the cheepest seems to Amazon is this a good place to buy certainly looks like the cheepest, well it comes up as the cheepest when I search from Australia.
