    If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...

    I contacted them and they told me they could put in what I want. It didn't seem like they knew what to do - they need instructions. I measured my damaged cable more carefully today. I see 0.6 ohms from sleeve (common) to each of the commons on the IEM side. I see 19.8 ohms from tip to left and...

    If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...

    Does Lunashops put in the proper resistors that are supposed to be in the Etymotic cables? I have ER-4P IEMs that need a new cable but it's worrisome that they don't have you specify which type of IEM you have when ordering. I measured mine and I think I measured 22 ohms series resistance on the...

    Replacement cables for ER-4P?

    Hello! About 13 years ago I purchased Etymotic Reserach ER-4P IEMs and then got Westone custom ear molds that the ER-4P plugged into. I've been using that setup ever since and have been very happy with it. Sadly, the right channel is now kinda sketchy and I'm pretty much positive it's the cable...

    How to get comfort, portability, isolation, and sound quality?

    OK I just pulled the trigger on some ER-4Ps and I'm meeting with an audiologist on Wednesday to have the molds made. Will report back on how I like them!

    How to get comfort, portability, isolation, and sound quality?

    Also - do people like the Etymotic Research headphones more than the Westones? I talked with one distributor who seemed to think that most people were getting the ES1s over the ER-4s.

    How to get comfort, portability, isolation, and sound quality?

    Hi there - I've had a pretty sad battle with headphones for the past, ohhh, 10 years. I just want portable, comfortable headphones that sound great. I travel a lot (think planes, trains, buses, etc.) - so my headphones see a lot of use. I want isolation both in the sense that I can't hear what's...

    soldering headphone cables

    Howdy folks - I need to repair a headphone cable. I haven't cut it open yet - but I suspect it'll be the standard stranded enamel coated wire that is awful to work with. Couple questions: Is there a standard for what colors are what? Are there any good methods for removing the enamel...

    Where to find 3.5mm right angle stereo plugs?

    Hi there - I need to put a new connector on some headphones. I'd like to put a good right angle 3.5mm plug on them. These Switchcraft parts look real nice. I found a couple fairly shady looking places that sell them, most seem to have large minimum orders or non functional websites. This site is...
