"Booming bass" on the ER4P?

I have these (why? becuase I have every damn headphone EVER made!!!! Main points (besides obvious ''HUGE'' bass) Extreme isolation. About like the HD280's Extreme comfort-the BEST! (or only second to the HD590's-open phone) In a word: Comfy. (nice leather band, touch)

I have the 250-250 and the 831 The 831 are a little too bright but are a better headphone. The 250-250 has the slight closed-phone-boomish-bass and sounds sort of like the V6 (which is understandable as it has the same shape-closer to the ear-less ambience) note: I'm not saying the v6 has...

Apparently no. There are some here who have said that they have worn hearing aids made like this all their lives without a single infection.

ER4S I hated them the first few times I put them in, cursed all you lunatics, and practically threw them away. Each successive time I tried them made a difference. Now they are my favorite. I am CONVINCED that the brain does very strange things with sound. After all: as your eyes adjust to...

I can distinctly tell the difference between duracell and the Energizer. The Energizer sounds fast, energetic, and is good for drum music (marching band music especially) Duracell is good for industrial tunes. It's also is important to match batteries. You want to make sure each battery...

Of course all this proves nothing and is totally unconvincing (although fun reading)

You mean you've never even HEARD the HD600? Don't trust anyone who say's the HD600 is lifeless. THEY are lifeless (or should be)

Lifeless?

It's so much fun to argue over something like this : ) I tried a solid adapter and this wasn't good at all. I suppose It's electricaly' a better idea than a cable, but it doesn't fit well. The termination point at the 1/8 side is what causes the difficulty. The 1/8 jacks suck, even for...

FWIW The grado adapter is very nice and not very expensive. I was a bit suprised at how nice it is. (for an apdapter)

There's another thread going on now with an apparently (happy) Fixup cable user. link: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...8&pagenumber=2 subject: er-4p + fixup.net cable modification = heaven post by : eboychik

Just reduced-NOT completely eliminated. It's hard to say by how much as I switched almost immediately. I'm not a good judge of this as I have not used them very much, and then only sitting in a chair for short periods.

The Fixup ?ecable?f replacement is a vast improvement in ever way IMHO. It is lighter, far less noisy (microphonics), and even more comfortable as the cables now seem to fit my head better. Some have complained that they do not have the 45-degree angle that the stock cables have, but I much...

It's funny because I edited that post 1 minute after I posted it, not because I realized that it was a 'ridiculous statement?f, as you claim, but because I realized I hadn't read your post accurately. I know that the 'producers' care "very much" about the viewablilty in ?epan&scan?f...
