Sweet, hope you like them

Nice, which ones?

I'm doing alright, how are you?

hello

I don't get a chance to listen to music seriously much these days, but when I do, my XRs are all I need. They really are something special. Best audio (and impulse) purchase I've ever made by far.

  Where did you happen to order these from? I am very interested in ordering them, but I want to be sure I receive the redesigned ones and not remaining stock of the old design.

I don't know, I'm listening to "Voyager" on my XR right now and it doesn't sound muffled to me. It's certainly warm, but that's how the song is supposed to sound, to my ears anyway. I just can't hear anything getting masked up top. The claps, the phaser, and even all the little blips and clicks...

What does a THD of "100.00" mean?

Yeah, they both really are incredible. What it came down to for me personally was how full-bodied and natural the XR sounds. I just couldn't give that up. And I know the SR made details in the upper frequencies more audible, which made switching to it lead me to believe I preferred the SR. But...

If I had the choice, I would like Etymotic to release 2 new kinds of tips. The first tip would be simply a larger version of the stock frost triple-flange tips (essentially the same size as the large clear triple-flanges, but with the same material as the frost). The second would be like a...

Just thought I'd provide my 2 cents for anyone deciding between the SR and XR. Like a few others on here, I was able to directly compare the SR and XR back-to-back, so even though I only have the XR now, I feel I still have a pretty good idea of what the differences are between the two. First...
