KClone - I would also like to hear feedback from anyone with ER4 custom moulds. I would like know before investing the money. Nadavnaz - I used to have the comfort issue, however, after a few weeks of use I don't notice them anymore. Bear in mind that I fly long haul 4 times a month...

I've been playing with the PTH for a few days and I can definitely hear sound degradation compared to not using the PTH. Also, I think that hitting the 'pause' button on my iPod will probably be good enough. The default foamies don't have the same sound isolation as the Ety triple flange so I...

OK - I give in... what is 'BA'?

Hi, Just to clarify, are the 'glider tips' the ones shaped like mini button mushrooms?

Hi all, I just received my SE530's a few days ago. I have been impressed with the SQ so far. However I would like to try the other tips that came with the 'fit kit'. The problem is that I can't seem to remove the black tips. When I try to pull them off it looks like they will tear rather...

Hi gig, Just as a thought, it sounds like your major consideration is the seal for your ear canals. So why don't you just take your favourite IEMs and put custom moulds on it? They should fit your ears perfectly, no?

Thanks dfkt and K_19, Seems like both of you are (or were) suffering from hiss. I stopped using the Sony NC11 about 3-5 years ago due to the nasty hissing from the active noise cancellation. It did bother me a lot - hence I now use the Ety ER4Ps. I'm thinking of buying the Shure 530s as a...

Does anyone use the T4 with a iPod Nano 4G and either the Ety 4Ps or Shure E530? Just wanted an opinion of how this setup will work. Both in terms of practicality (carrying the setup around) and sound quality.

Hi all, Here's an update. I've ordered a Xin SuperMini IVand I'm now waiting for my Ety E4Ps to come back from the Ety repair shop. I know that it will take a while (i.e. potentially years) to get the amp delivered but the reputation of the Xin Ety ER4p combo seems to be fantastic. I...

Just to let everyone know... I eventually sent my Etys in for their replacement cable as their customer service doesn't seem to be in question. I will let everyone know what happens in due course.

Mrarroyo, Thanks for that... I've just taken a look... given the reputation of Dr Xin and the time taken for delivery I might have to get another one anyway! Found this review about it which puts it at number 1 in a competitive review...

They are absolutely fantastic. I've been using mine for 6 years (according to my posts on Head-fi anyway) However, the two negative comments I've read are;Comfort - Some people comment that Etys not comfortable for extended use and not comfortable to insert. However, I suspect this is very...
