    [REVIEW] Etymotic HF5 or the ER-4S?

    Having owned the ER4Ps for a couple of years now and having had them repaired once already, the recent problems (cable seems to have disconnected from the driver on the right side again) made me re-think about the ER4Ps. I just couldn't justify the cost if they needed repairs regularly.   I...

    iphone 4 sound quality

    So, having just purchased my new iPhone 4 that had replaced my 2 month old iPhone 3GS (how's that for a Headfi special!), I thought I should do some research on what to expect sound-wise and do some A-B for you guys with the following equipment:   Ety ER-4P IEMs iPhone 3GS iPhone 4...

    E500PTH & ER4-P Comparision?

    Quote: Originally Posted by Todd R I really liked the bass on the E500 and the relaxed nature, but couldn't deal with the clouded over, dull midrange. Someone here describes it as if the singer was singing from outside the room. Or, hang a pair of socks over your midrange and tweeter...

    Shure E500's - May or June?

    Thx for the feedback Nanahachi. Does that mean I'll be getting mine "next week"? Only kidding... I'm past worrying now and well past excited. I'll be relieved to just get them in the end. I'm using ER-4P (which are beauties btw) so these better be worth the wait and beat the etys. I...

    Shure E500's - May or June?

    So May or June rolls on to August, September...? Meanwhile, the words "next week" begin to sound like the radio each morning on Groundhog Day. Todd's site talks about delivery in 1-2 weeks possibly less! Or, more correctly: probably more... I know Todd is well respected and loved on these...

    Shure E500's - May or June?

    Thanks Todd, but for those of us overseas who have put orders in and spent some money making phone calls to your office, an offer of priority mail won't apply. Anything you can throw our way too? Actually, our main concern is to get frequent feedback first and foremost. You've done the...

    Shure E500's - May or June?

    Todd, I ordered my E500s on the 6 August and because I'm travelling around Asia for work, I wanted to make sure they don't get sent to where I was and left behind. That would break any head-fier's heart. Given they are "Shipping Now", can you please let me know where the shipment is at...

    Need shorter cable for ETY ER-4P....?

    Do not try to cut the cable on the er-4p. The cable is not standard wiring and you'll have a very hard time trying to solder the mini-plug. Do a search on the forums - there was a discussion about this last year.

    The Peace of Etymotics

    Thanks to all you ety owners for directing me to the 4Ps. They are truly a lovely phone. One phenomenon that has struck me immediately is the peaceful sensation I have when I put the phones on and listen to music. I've noticed this most coming home on the train after work when most of us are...
