Hi,
new poll in the house! I'm so, so close to the final decision; I really need your help. Before choosing your fav, please take this priority list into consideration:
1) Sound Isolation (the most important quality to me -at least now-)
2) Sound quality/cleanliness/detail (wide range of music tastes)
3) Price
4) Warranty/Customer Service (regarding cable problems/replacements)
5) Features (adaptation to many ear tips like Shure foams/olives or Comply, accessories, etc)
You can check my previous thread for more info:

Note: The prices don't include eBay because manufacturer's warranty issues.
Many thanks!

Hi all... thank you so much for all of you who voted and those who replied questions. I have a winner in its way home from Amazon:
---> ETYS ER-4P <---
(and in the next step I'll try the P-to-S converter)
I didn't go with the Control FreQs because at least 95% of the FreQ owners didn't buy the entry level. And at the end I discarded the SA6, just because I don't think with my musical behavior I would take advantage of the sound signatures. It seems too many small pieces to interchange... also the isolation was a huge factor, and most of the comments (and the poll itself) went for the Etys.
The final results before decision:
ETY 4P --> 23
SA6 --> 17
ETY 4S --> 14
FREQ --> 13
SHUREs --> 9
UEs --> 7
ATRIO --> 6
Combined, the 4P+S has 37 votes, more than doubling the SA6. I still believe the SA6 are awesome and one of the hottest IEMs in the market, but right now not for me. Probably another time. Also, when I decide for a custom, I'll definitely go for the FreQs, but probably the double-driver, or music maker with SS.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me to decide for my first IEMs!
