A shorter cable would be very nice, when I first got my ER-4Ps I routinely got the wire caught on things (ouch!!). And if it reduced the microphonics? I would definitely stand in line for these.

You never go back......I just recieved my Ety ER-4Ps today. Amazing...Mozart is great with these. THey put my stock iPod phones to shame!!! Thanks to all you for helping me clean out my wallet.

I've been ripping all my music onto my iPod with iTunes, don't know what you guys are talking about with LAME and everything. I am not a HUGE audiophile like many of you, I just want to be able to take advantage of my ER-4Ps when they arrive.

I just bought some Etys ER-4Ps. Now from everything i have read they seem to be very precise, revealing phones. My question is will there be a noticable sound difference between an MP3 ripped at 192 kpbs instead of, say 320. Will I not be taking advantage of the Etys strengths if my Mp3s are all...

when it is availible will we be able to have our current ER-4Ps modded?

hm....this cord changing might have to happen. A short cord is less likly to get caught on stuff, would have slightly better sound (as explained by someone), and braided cable would reduce microphonic effect. Go Go New Cable!

What do you guys think are the most comfortable headphones to wear for long periods of time (as in a car) for under $100?

What about some ER-4p's? I am getting some soon, should i run them overnight? or just enjoy them fully straight out?

double, please delete mod

That was sopposed to be in responce to cscott23's comment of the shorter braided cord, not the earhugger mod. My bad. Although i think that I might go for that earhugger mod if the braided cord isnt a real option.

Are the new ER-4Ps coming with the shorter, braided cable? Or can we at least put the shorter, braided cable on as a mod?

What is the advantage of the Comply foams?

What is the advantage to using these foams instead of the stock ety foams?

Couldn't you wrap the cable with foam or something?

I read that a pair of Etymotic ER-4P phones can be had for $215. Anyone know where I can find them for this price, or cheaper than $265.

Any of you guys know how you can reduce the microphonic noise in the Ety ER-4P?

Thanks for the tip Orpheus, I'll look in to that.

What are some good albums/song with massive bass?

I may be buying some ER-4P from a guy, they are almost brand new (only used an hour or so). Would $210 be a good price (including shipping. They were bought in January, so there is about 9 months left on the warranty.

I believe there have been threads like this in the past but, what do you guys feel are the best 'phones for an iPod?
