What exactly is known on the differences between the old grey triflanges and the new, 'transparent' ones? The thing is, that while my old ER4-PTs were still working, I bought a few packs of the grey ones just to have them whenever I need them. Now, while the ER4-SRs sound absolutely phenomenal...

Alright, thanks for all your replies, i think I've finally settled on buying an ER4-SR :D    Only one question left: Does anyone here live in Europe and know how I can use the Etymotic-upgrade program without spending all the money I could save with that option on shipping? Because If there is...

I would like one more clarification concerning the new models: I've compared the frequency response curves of my ER-4PTs to the curves of the new ER4-XR and ER4-SR, and I've noticed that, in fact, the frequency reponse curve of the ER4-SR is basically the same curve as the one of my PTs...

  Nah you see, the thing is that the cable broke, so i DO need new ones :)

Nope. No pre-amp or the likes, either (using an iPod mainly) 

Dear all,   after around 5 years using the ER-4PT, the time has come for an upgrade, and I would very much like to keep using Etymotics, as I've enjoyed them so much over the past few years. However, I really can't decide whether to buy the XR or the SR; can anyone give me some comparison of...

I, too use the large triple-flanges. what i was trying to say is the following: when i listen to music, i hear everything perfectly clear and, depending on the song (for instance listening to zero-sum by nine inch nails), i hear a great bass emerging from the phones. therefore, i assume that...

well planx, i owe you a big THANK YOU because it was this thread that finally made me decide to just stop thinking about it - and finally buy the ety-4ps. now, i absolutely LOVE their sound and, as written in all user revies, i hear certain details in songs that i've been listening to for years...

ok i have to revise my last statement: the er-4p's are nothing less of sensational. all is ABSOLUTELY to my liking, and though i still have to get accustomed to the new sound of certain songs (especially queens of the stone age 's guitars are very different), i can already say that the're worth...

just listening for the first time to my newly arrived er-4PTs :) i do have to admit that i find the actual lack of bass-impact somewhat..surprising, otherwise i'm really deeply impressed with the clarity they offer. but i would say that as with all my previous IEMs, these too will take some...

k guys, thanks very much for your replies, greatly appreciated. however, i've got an additional question because, depending on the source, one sort of gets different answers.. so: is an iPod (i myself own an iPod touch) actually good enough for the 4p's?

hi guys! i have a quick question about the er-4p in-ears so here's the thing: recently, my sennheiser cx880 broke. that being said, now i'm looking for some new in-ears and i'm quite willing to perhaps spend a little more money on those if that means that i can REALLY enjoy the music. so lately...
