Don't. ER4SR and ER2SE sound more or less identical in my experience with ER4SR being superior in almost all aspects overall. You are wasting money getting any of the SE versions if you have ER4SR. That said, you can try ER2XR if you have ER4SR if you want more bass. To be honest, if you have...

When I demoed ER4SR, ER4XR, ER2SE, I ended up going for the ER4SR (preference: ER4SR >= ER2SE > ER4XR). That said, I absolutely hate the cables on ER4SR. I find the flimsier cable of ER2SE better for everyday use (ER4SR cables are also REALLY REALLY long). Plus, I find the blue color so much...

Wow. For $55, ER2SE is an absolute steal. Last time I tried out ER2SE, it was awfully close to ER4SR. Definitely a steal at that price in the current market. tbh, sounds like a great present to family members at that price.

I don't know if it's true or not but apparently Etymotic is coming up with a new IEM in the market? Apparently it is a multi driver (completely unexpected from Etymotic). https://www.reddit.com/r/inearfidelity/comments/kpsnm7/new_multi_driver_etymotic_in_the_works_photos_of/ According to the...

I don't think blse59 is the only one. I had a similar experience and even made a reddit post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/exsd6o/etymotic_er4se_vs_er4xr_is_my_ears_just_bad/ Maybe it's cause I came from more neutral IEM/headphones (or I'm just a treble head :wink: )...

Oh I don't doubt it. After listening to E40, CKR9 Ltd, im70, I have no doubts on AudioTechnica's flagship IEM. Hope you are enjoying the E70. And in case you guys don't know, AudioTechnica's warranty program is incredible. And I know many people here have fake CKR series since the actual CKR9...

Today I tried in store the Audeze iSINE20 in-Ear. First of all, why are these IEMs so uncomfortable? The Audeze is just so big. I also tried Sennheiser IE 80. The CKR9 Ltd is brighter than the two. Clarity wise, it outperforms both iSINE20 and IE80. Bass quality wise, it also outperforms both...

Yes. Great earphones. Pros: Lively sound. Honestly, the sound it produces made me like it over akg k3003i, westone w60 (no experiences with w80), dunu dn1000s (no experiences with 2000), etymotic er4xr, massdrop plus Bass and high notes. Bass quality is great. Treble seems to get everything...

I have sampled the CKR100. I sadly did not get a chance to compare with the CKR90. That said, as I have had the previous model, CKR 9 LTD and had extensive listening with the CKR 10, I feel I could give some thoughts of the new model. Ergonomics: The CKR100 is very easy to be placed in your...

Uhm... I did say: Beats are 'fashion' audio products............ Solo 3...... I am not denying you but in terms of pure sound quality at that price range, the reason why this head-fi is so insistent (and stubbon) on wired headphone/iem is that in that price range, you are also competing...

Actually, there legitimately is a very significant (noticeable) difference in sound quality among solid wireless headphones and solid headphones/IEM at similar prices. But it's more because "serious" (so pretentious) audio firms do not invest much in wireless headphones as it is in that...

Wow. So much hate for wireless/bluetooth devices.   When are people going to get over the fact that our technology has evolved to the point that wireless/bluetooth listening over wired listening should not have any difference in audible quality for listening purposes? That stated, yes, the...

For the price, you are getting a steal.     Considering the CKR9 has better sound quality than the Shure se535 (but a 'bit' worse than 846) to me, for $120, the sound quality is well worth the price.   That said, I'm going to go by 'my' bias experience from it. If I was to scale from...

The CKR 9Ltd was a limited edition at its time. It was originally meant for Japan only (and later some other parts of East Asia) so I highly doubt there are stores that sell the CKR 9Ltd.   There weren't that many in reproduction as it is an "ltd" (limited edition) so  I wouldn't take the...

Ahh. The CKR 9Ltd. Hahaha, I have that too and I understand what you mean.   CKR 9Ltd might be only model in the CKR series in which the stock eartips actually sound better than the JVC Spiral tips because of the slanted input instead of straight. It seems the stock tips were pretty much...

I never did side comparisons with my CKR9 Ltd but when I listened to XBA-A3, it was pretty nice. Only thing I really had to comment on was the sibilance that is common with Sony in-ears. However, I felt that:   In terms of bass quality, CKR9 Ltd was better. In terms of detail, XBA-A3 seemed...

I'm pretty sure it's a fake. First of all, CKR 9 LTD is a "limited edition". That's what the LTD stands for. Second, there weren't that many made (hence being limited edition). In fact, even authorized original sellers like treeo no longer has CKR 9 LTD in stock. That's how limited this model...

I always wondered how much of a difference an amp sounded like. I'm a simple college student and cause of that, I have to be wiser with the way I have to spend (though it seems that I already spoiled almost a thousand just on in ears)   I want this to be an opportunity to try getting the new...

Looking back, I think people are right with different ear tip changing the experience of the sound.   Personally, I didn't see much difference of using the JVC eartip over the original stock. Yes, there was change but not as much people here had led me to believe. That said, I must say, for...

Of all the tips I tried, I think the best is without a doubt...   1. the EPH 100 eartips. I don't know why Yamaha doesn't just commercialize these biflanges. They are awesome. However, because that would make my EPH 100 useless, I am sticking to the JVC eartips.   I think the JVC eartips...

I don't know man. Ever since I got my CKR 9LTD, I fell in love with it. Compared to CKR 9LTD, the Yamaha EPH 100 actually feel like a rip off.   (Not saying the EPH 100 is bad. I still use it for my "go to " earphones. Oh the isolation and the lightness with solid high quality sound = best...

I just got myself the CKR 9 LTD Sound is phenomenal as praised by many of the headfi members here  but wow... it's really stupidly big compared to my Yamaha EPH 100. I mean sound wise, it's literally out of this world for IEMs of this price range. However.... did anyone forget to mention how...

Have you picked urself an earphone (cough cough..I meant IEM**) yet? :)     Hint hint :P..... If you are still stuck, this general comparison is very helpful ^^.     And... ^_^ Tell us what you pick if you decide to do so. I'm sure everyone here would be very interested. xD   Just a...

All these IEM listed I believe are super fantastic deals   Although I do hear that for DN 1000, to get the best bang for the buck, you will need to buy the eartip separately (http://www.head-fi.org/t/727286/review-and-comparison-of-dunu-dn-1000-dn-2000-jvc-ha-fx850)     Remember, each IEM...

Well, I'm just a standard listener so uhmm... (so take my words with a grain of salt)   It seems that people in head-fi seems to in the 100-200 range suggest (in no particular order):   1. Zero Audio Duoza (The new rave in head-fi. Apparently better than EPH 100 in just about every aspect...
