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

    Thank you, Episiarch! Very informative!! I never considered the ER3-SE. How much warmth does it add to the mix? I am also looking, this time around, for a mostly neutral signature.

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Regarding the F7200, 1) Is the size of the in-ear insertion of the F7200 identical to the one of the E5000? In short, is the F7200 model better for small ear canals? 2) Anyone has thoughts on the F7200 compared to the Etymotic ER4 series? Which has the smallest diameter of the in-ear...

    Thank you! I think I am ready to make the jump into the Ety world of sound ;) Now, any tips to help me choose between the ER4XR and SR models? I am looking for speed, detail and clarity, and a neutral signature, with (as much as possible) good extension at the top and the bottom... without...

    Anybody knows if the ER4 nozzle is smaller than the nozzle of the Final Audio E-series? I tried the Final Audio E5000 and thought it was a bit big for my small ear canals. I want to know if the Etymotic ER4XR is smaller... better for small ears. Thanks!

    Interesting. I did consider the Senn IE800. But they were over my budget and without detachable cables. When you say the 'original,' you mean the IE800 as opposed to the IE800S? I have found a demo unit for half the price... but I am a bit worried about buying a demo pair.

    I am considering the ER4XR. I am especially interested in them to get clarity, speed, detail and extension (in highs and lows). Let me know if I am conspiring the wrong in-ears ;) Two questions: 1) how difficult are they to drive? I am planning on using them with my small Fiio M6 player. 2)...

    That makes sense. How would qualify the level of clarity and detail of the E4000?

    Interesting. why the E4000 over the E5000?

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    After reflection, the most important to me is: small tips, single driver (can be worn cable down), clarity, frequency extension (in lows and highs) & detail (speed is not as important). And again... no mid-bass boost. music: ambient instrumental (no vocals) electronic. thanks for helping me...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Thank you all for your help! I am looking for a small (I have small ear canals) single driver in-ears. I own a pair of Grado GR8e (musical, well balanced, comfy, but slow) and a pair of Earsonic Velvet 2 (well extended, musical, detailed.... but not convenient). I find multiple drivers (that...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I am looking for a fast, clear, and detailed in-ears.... mostly neutral... and, ideally, well extended (in lows and highs). I am not a big fan of mid bass (I find too aggressive and distracting). I much prefer deep, sub bass... for atmosphere... as I listen to a lot of ambient electronic (no...
