Hello all!
I am looking at buying a new pair of IEM's, as I recently rediscovered my ER6i's amazing sound isolation. However, I think it's time for an upgrade!
As a source I am currently using a HTC Desire (Not ideal by any means, but does the job) and will soon have a brand new Sansa Clip+. The Etymotics ER4-P's have some really good reviews around here, and elsewhere on the internet. However at ~£170 on Amazon.co.uk, they are pretty pricey. Anyone know anywhere to get them delivered to the UK for a cheaper price than that? Or any alternatives in a similar level of sound quality?
I am a big fan of the accuracy that my ER6i's give me, and know that the ER4-P's excel in this area, so I am definitely leaning to just spending the £170. But I am open to suggestions!
Also, I can get the ER4-P and ER4-S for the same price - is it worth buying the ER4-P and convertor cable for P -> S? I will be using various sources, and amps on different occasions however my main use for these is in my portable rig so I am going to try to avoid carrying an amp with me (I have Gary's PA2V2...while I absolutely love it, it's a bit on the large side so not ideal to carry around)
Many thanks in advance guys! And my apologies if I have asked anything already in the forums - I did try a search, but could not find a comprehensive answer!
