+1 I have two sets of custom, shorty cables he made for me, and that is all I use now :)

Yes. For me, the triple flange tips are definitely good enough at blocking out most inflight noise. I can sit on the very last row of the plane (where usually the engine noise is loudest) and enjoy music and/or a movie in peace :ksc75smile:

Very nice!

For me, if price is not an issue, the smoother sound (with decent lows) is the 4XR hands down. But at its lower price point, I felt the 2XR had a better lower-end (for me) than the 2SE.

To me, the fact that they get the earwax "in" them is what I like since they are softer, more comfortable, and seal effortlessly. So I don't mind the "dirty" color at all, but I totally understand and respect your concern about their appearance.

Very similar to what I heard when I compared them back to back (and against the 4XR). I am really enjoying the 2XR :)

OK, my er2xr arrived today. Now I "finally" have all of them to compare. Hands down, to me, the ER4XR are the best. Overall the best balance of highs and lows, on all of the songs I like. The ER2SE are really good, but lack a little of the low-end impact of the ER4XR. I can see how these...

Cool. Thanks much for the review :)

I just ordered the ER2XR on Amazon. According to them it will be here in 1-2 days. I will try that against the ER2SR and the ER4XR shortly and relate my own views/comparison.

Nice job as always man ;)

As an electrical engineer, I can tell you that a cable is not a pure resistor. It "always" has some amount of inductance, and there is always some amount of capacitance as well. The whole purpose of a cable to is to transmit power (Voltage x Current) from one point to the next. Given the...

toranku: Based on my own amateur eval so far, I feel your review/comparison is very similar to what I hear. Thanks for the review! I have been listening to them every day, but using the "already" soft tri-flanges from the ER4XR, and they sound a little better, tighter than on day one wit the...

To me, based on this first impression, after a couple of hours, yes. But I will try them out for a while longer before giving up on them. I am also going to try the tri-flanges from the ER4 in the ER2 since those are already broken-in and really nice and soft. Perhaps that will help with the...

That is a custom, shortly cable that forum member ClieOS made for me. He does great work! Sound-wise, no difference I can hear. But I wasn't expecting any difference to be honest, as I have never been able to tell "any" difference when changing cables over the last 10-15 years. Not once.

Yup, driving them with the FiiO BTR3. I will keep trying them on for a little while longer, but will likely not keep them and try to buy the XR version instead.
