Etymotic Research ER3XR Extended Response Balanced Armature in-Ear Earphones Limited Edition with Compatible iPhone Adapter Has anybody seen this? There must be a DAC/amp in there.

You’re welcome! Actually I have that backwards so I’m going to edit my post.

Oh I’ve only had the SR for five days. I won’t compare them for at least a couple of weeks. Some people believe in burn in, some don’t. I’ll say this. When I first got my 4S fifteen plus years ago, I was disappointed. Sure, they were detailed and transparent. I could hear all that but there was...

I agree that the ER4SR benefits greatly with proper amplification. Also the cord has a chin slider that I slide up to the earpieces before winding. It effectively makes the two earpiece cords act as one when wrapping up. Sometimes it’s the little things.

I have both, plus the ER4XR. The ER4S is very close to the SR but I think the SR is a bit better in imaging, maybe a bit better in detail retrieval and seems a bit smoother than the 4S. The differences are small though. With that said, the SR has a much better cord that is user replaceable and a...

It’s back up now.

My ER4SR came in from Amazon US with the new packaging and the new tips.

My month old ER4XR in the new packaging came with the new tips. Sold by Amazon.com. I just ordered an ER4SR from Amazon.com. They’ll be in tomorrow. I’ll report on whether they come with the tips or not. I made sure I purchased from Amazon.com as they’re an official Etymotic retailer. My take on...

I love Porcupine Tree. Saw them live, great performance! I took my niece’s husband on his birthday. When we got back there was a surprise waiting for him from my niece and I. A brand new pair of ER4s! True story. In Absentia is another great album.

These stay comfortable for hours for me. I haven’t taken them out yet because of pain. The two flanges are closer in size to each other than the triple flanges are relative to their sizes. So they’re a little less cone shaped and seem a little softer in my ears.

Yes they came in the new packaging. To tell you the truth I was shocked. I saw a picture of them in this thread a long time ago. EtyDave, I think showed them. I stopped using the triple flange tips a few years ago because they started to get painful. But these are really comfortable and I like...

So do the ER4S and ER4XR. Mojo is awesome with these.

That’s interesting. The foam tips always sounded a tiny bit laid back to me. These don’t. I tried them on my ER4S too and felt the same way.

These came with my new er4xr. They sound like the triple flanges and go in just as deep. They’re more comfortable for me so I’m very excited.

I think you mean 11.0.1. I have an iPhone 7 running 11.0.1. It works but I still get dropouts with my Mojo and Dragonfly Red. The dropouts are far less numerous on 11.0.1 than on 10.3.3. I have two Apple CCK connectors and two USB cables so I know it’s not a connection issue. I’ve noticed the...
