It's there, but it's uninspiring because it's overshadowed by the clarity of the mids and highs.  And I think this is why sometimes people are disappointed in balanced armature IEMs when it comes to bass, even though they can be boosted to have a bass emphasis. 

 

(and yes, I use the ER yellow foamies to make certain I get a deep insertion and great seal--lol)

Dude, You are a prime candidate for the NRB Mod...

I would highly recommend it to you.

Cheers from another Ety Head, Jim

Yeah, well, I got to pay to get 'em fixed first.  Changing out my foamies for my 3rd set (that's how often I use them), and the plastic barrel broke on one side at the tip when pulling it out.  I realize that ear wax probably contributed to that, but for what the ER4Ps list at MSRP, they ought to be made stronger than that.

I would shoot Ety an email... Or give them a call.

You might be surprised.

Good Luck, Jim
