Thread Starter 

I got them around a month ago and I have a feeling in the back of my mind that the other IEMS are inferior (probably because I never heard them) So I want to know if there are many In ears that are much better than s4 and to name them please. And when I mean better I mean as in having more booming and detailed bass and more detailed highs and overall clarity

Sennheiser IE8, Earsonics SM3, Ortofon EQ7, Radius WN2, UE TF 10, Atrios MG7? There's too much to be honest.

I started with the S4s.  There are many, many IEMs better.  I did enjoy them for the months I had them, but it wasn't till I moved to more technically capable phones that I noticed how unrefined, and harsh they sounded.  They definitely have a treble peak along the upper frequencies.

 

You don't have to spend much to do better than S4s, even RE-ZEROs are technically better (but don't have as much bass impact, instead, it is more accurate and the timbre is correct).

 

Hope that helps, go anywhere from here with the most recommended IEMs or headphones, and you'll be moving upwards.

Try some Comply tips on them, they made a huge difference to me.
