I own the westone 3 and the etymotic er-4p with apuresound cabling and i must say I am super impressed with the HF5's...for 99 dollars which i paid i think these are the biggest steal on the market today...to my ears they sound 95% as good as my er-4ps ...they have the fantastic isolation of etymotics and they do not have the microphonics problems i encounter with the er-4p,they are more efficient and i think the low end is a bit better....they are light and easy to carry around and for 99 bucks i do not worry as much about damaging them etc.....to those who seek a great sounding IEM with superb isolation at a bargain price I cannot recommend these more highly
