Which would you buy, the HSU Research STF-2 or the Sunfire SDS-12, and why?  Suppose the prices were identical (which they are not, the Sunfire is considerably more).  Listening will be 70% music and 30% movies.   Listening room is 19 feet long by 16 feet wide by 7.5 feet tall.  There is plenty...

I know the title is an oxymoron.  What I'm looking for is an in-ear headphone that won't fall out (earbuds fall out of my ears) that sounds like a good IEM, but does not block external sound.  I'm used to the Etymotic sound signature (ER4P, ER6i, MC5).  I am trying to turn over a new leaf and be...

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the Etymotic MC5's tri-flange tips and filters are interchangeable with the ER-4P's?

My depodded IM716s finally died (may they rest in peace) and I need a new pair of IEMs for the gym and for running. I have Etymotic er-4ps which I love, but the microphonics are too great, and plus I'm afraid to ruin them with sweat, etc. I have also used er-6is, and of course the IM716s...

Amazon.com just dropped the price on the ER-4P from $185 to $159.95, today!

Hi. I live in the US and I have a pair of headphones for sale. I've been contacted by some folks living in the UK who are interested. What are the issues I need to consider, besides additional shipping fees? Are there currency conversion fees? What about customs? Thanks.

Hi, I'm about to purchase either the Etymotic er4p or the er4s, pending the sale of my Grado SR225s. I have previously owned the er6i, and currently own the IM716, and I love the Etymotic sound. I will be using them with my Samsung T9, unamped. My question are: How does the sound of the...

I have a set of IM716s that is a few years old. I've been thinking about doing a podectomy, but I have put it off, mainly due to laziness. But suddenly my IM716s have developed a problem. It seems that the right channel cable is flaky. The sound cuts out in the right channel, and changing...

I'm looking for an inexpensive pair of headphones for my daughter that are at least or almost as good as the Koss KSC75. I'd just buy her those, except the clips pop off very easily and she would quickly lose them. Any suggestions? She does not like earbuds. These will be used with a portable...

Take a look at these recent photos of Kansas performing live: http://home.comcast.net/~dan.franco/...-11-17-06.html What kind of IEMs are they using? Notice how the stage is completely free from floor monitors.

I have a G3 and I'm thinking about buying a set of iM716 IEMs. Is anybody out there using this combo? I'm concerned that the G3 might not have enough power to drive them adequately.

Can anyone tell me the name of the Amazon.com retailer who was selling the iM716s for cheap prices? This link shows the price fluctuations for the iM716 over the past year. Hopefully you'll be able to pull it up. I'm hoping for another $60-70 sale!

I broke the cord on my ER-6is. Etymotic says that's not covered under warranty, and they want to charge me $76 plus $6 shipping (US) to replace them. I need to decide whether to replace them or to buy iM716's instead. A quick search turned up iM716s for $102 - $110 plus shipping. I have a few...

Hi, First, a brief history. Back in the late 70's / early 80's, I had what I considered to be "really good sound." After undergoing several upgrades, I ended up with a Technics top of the line turntable, a Shure top of the line cartridge (I think it was a V 15 type 4 or something like that)...

I plan to mate a new 1G player to a pair of Etymotic ER6i earphones and I could use some recommendations. I don't want an iPod. I don't need video. I prefer one with an FM tuner. My main concern is ease of use and good sound. 95% of what I'll listen to will be mp3s ripped from my own CDs. I'll...
