i really [really really!] want some ER4s' after living with my MC5s for about half a year...i finally got a $$ break where i can get these babies, but there's a little possible problem...
i pretty much can only use the smaller Ety tri-flanges. the bigger ones just don't work in my ear canals, but the smaller ones are perfect. i also don't want to get other tips from different brands cause the isolation+fit is beautiful as it is.
i did notice that the sound changed a bit with the different size tips. probably has to do with the way they're positioned inside, also the shape of my ear canals [a bit crooked ]. the bigger ones generally game me less bass & treble and more mids, and sounded a bit dull. the smaller ones balance the FR out pretty great all-around, the only thing missing is extended highs, but that's probably the MC5s, not the tips.
i was just wondering, since it seems most [or all] of the reviews i've seen of the ER4s are with the big tri-flanges, and they already have the microdetailed highs etcetera with those, i wonder if they might be too bright with the smaller ones
does anyone who own these use the small tips? how are they?
and what about the ER4p...or for that matter the HF5s
i love my MC5s. but i'm using them exclusively now [all other headphones sound unnatural after Etys] and i really wanna upgrade!
