Relaxing/Pure music for studying?
I'm not sure whether this is good for studying or not, but it's extremely relaxing. God is an Astronaut: -
I just left my ER-4PT's in a 120 degree F car for about 20 min.
You should be alright. That's hot, but it's not melting hot.- Bcool06

Looking for quality Earphones or IEMS for $100
I'm down with everything the above poster said except the best balanced/accurate earphone. I think the Etymotic HF5 is definitely the best accurate earphone you can get in the $100-$150 price range. There's really not many other earphones that are more accurate and neutral than the Etymotic.- Bcool06

Etymotic HF2 problems
Damn, you might have gotten a lemon. They should work fine with all of those that take a 3.5mm jack. I'd call Etymotic and ask for a replacement.- Bcool06

Etymotic HF2
Wise choice. I think you''l really dig them. If you're not used to such a neutral, accurate, and detailed earphone, they might be a shock to the system at first, but once you let your brain adjust to the precision they're amazing. I liked them from the start, though. I haven't done the...- Bcool06

UE TF10, vs Sure 425, vs westone 3 - 4
Quote: The TF10 is V-shaped. I guess he's sensitive to mid-range or he's not quite sure what he's hearing.- Bcool06

Some love for the MC5 from the ety hater
I love my HF5s. I'm a pretty detailed thinker, and I feel these just take care of all the details for me. Makes me happy. Also, the Etys are well made, and for you to break them 4 times is obviously user-abuse. Calm down a bit.- Bcool06

Check out some Ludovico Einaudi. He plays minimalistic piano with other influences. Eases the mind. -
Signature for performer use (IEM)
Well, what is your budget? I'd think you'd want something with a neutral frequency response and good isolation. Earphones with excessive coloration can tend to mush the different frequencies together. I did hear that the SoundMAGIC E10 and E30 are a solid earphone for the price, but I haven't...- Bcool06

Signature for performer use (IEM)
Quote: I feel the bass is extremely well balanced with the other frequencies, which helps give it it's switchblade precision. Much more bass and it would start to sound artificial, which is what I believe the Etys are not. And this is me coming from bass-heavy earphones like the Atrio...- Bcool06

[REVIEW] Etymotic HF5 or the ER-4S?
I haven't tried the PFE112, so I can't compare. But I have found that the HF5 warm up a bit and get a little more musical through my iPhone 4 rather my computer. However, I really like the natural coolness and precision of them. They also respond really well to EQing, although I normally don't EQ.- Bcool06

[REVIEW] Etymotic HF5 or the ER-4S?
I agree. I'm listening to electronic with them now and they're so accurate it's actually got me saying "oh, damn" during the song.- Bcool06

[REVIEW] Etymotic HF5 or the ER-4S?
Ahh, makes sense now that I'm listening to them. I'd prefer the "airy" adjective over calling it "thin." I think it describes the HF5 better, so I agree..- Bcool06

The Etymotics HF5 Thread
I have both, and these have a colder and more precise feel to them. Very neutral, where the TF10 has more of a V sound signature with a bit more fullness. I really dig them both, but the HF5 have a much better fitment, IMO. I haven't done a side by side, but I'd say the HF5 are a little more...- Bcool06

[REVIEW] Etymotic HF5 or the ER-4S?
Got the HF5s in and I've been running them through the paces. I'm seriously impressed. I find them pretty comfortable with the tips that came on them. These are extremely precise and accurate, and I don't find the bass to be lacking, rather very true to the music. I love the slight coldness to...- Bcool06

[REVIEW] Etymotic HF5 or the ER-4S?
Sounds like something I can contend with. I just don't get how something could have a closed soundstage, yet be airy. I need to brush up on my terms. I was thinking that "air" was related to soundstage by giving the imaging some width. I don't want an over the top soundstage, rather something...- Bcool06
