    Now I'm a step closer towards blindly buying SRs :D Well, maybe I need to be a bit patient now, need to save up a bit... Anyway, thank you for the answers!

    But would you say it’s worth transitioning? Or it’s just really only the bass?

    So, I once had an XR (first version with green box), then ER4B (the underrated legend), and then XR again (the one with red box). But I've never had SR or 4S :D So, anyone here, is the difference that noticeable between XR and SR? I kinda just want to go ahead and buy SR again, but then it's...

    Thank you! will order it later on the day :) Hmmm... let's just say the became such a mess I could no longer call them eartips anymore :D My cutting tool of choice wasn't that sharp either.

    Could you send me the link? Not having any luck finding it so far :D Let me know how you trim it. Once messing with foam tips (non ety) but I end up only cutting it to pieces :D

    Thank you :) Will try that as soon as it is in stock. Don't know why Ety hasn't restocked it since around the end of last year :(( But people been saying it is the same just more comfortable due to the size.

    Hi, Just got my ER4XR, secondhand, just missing three foam tips :D It's just a bliss to come back again to the Ety family after that dull sounding Aonic 3 (I thought it was close to Ety before, but turns out not that close) Aaaand what's more important is, I think I have found the cure to my...

    Thanks for the tips. But is it more durable though than Ety's?

    Yap, exactly. But then the etys tips are rather fragile for my taste, and the third party ones don’t sound as good :D yeah still mulling over buying it and then just try westone star tips or dekoni foam. Hopefully this is third time lucky (yes, i’ve had a pair of etys twice before, XR at first...

    Right now using Shure Aonic 3, but after roughly 6 months, I'm done with it, and I want to go back to XR. But the thing is, I'm still worried about the tips :D Is Westone Star Tips blue (the long one) isolating enough and sounding really similar to stock tips? And Do you guys have any other...

    Clear tips are less flexible and kinda hurt my ears compared to the grey ones. The surface is also more rubbery, not as soft as the grey ones. However... Clear tips are way more durable than the greys. The clear ones usually just become loose overtime, but the grey ones become loose AND...

    Timbre, technicality, and naturalness, I guess buy the SR unless you want extra bass (and SR already has plenty). but can’t compare to hd 600 or Ananda as I have never tried those. But let me tell you this, nothing can beat Ety in its price range and if you want IEM. That’s it. It’s just that...

    Hahaha yeah, worth trying. Although I kinda feel bad using it, wants to keep all my Aonic tips unused just in case I sell it (now I'm using my spare shure olives, not the one from the packaging).

    That one is more durable? Hmmm I have one here from my Aonic.

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

    Thank you for the reply. I've tried Shure olives way. Somehow they sound way worse on ety than on Aonic 3 :D It's just the treble lost the brightness, and the bass became a bit loose. Mid became kinda laid back too. So wonky overall. So, yeah, have to get the ety foams, buying them in bulk...

    Sadly (or not)... I have bought Aonic 3 :D But while ER4 (in my case B) is way ahead in terms of treble rendering, the overall sound of Aonic 3 isn't that bad, like, right now I have more problems regarding "ergonomics" with my B (sound imbalance issues) than having trouble with the sound of the...

    We'll try ordering the ety slimmer foams later. For now, I'll stick with my Aonic 3 first. Thank you for the response, btw! Yeah could be that. The left and right do have different bends. Ety deep insertion is surely not helping :D

    Exactly! If I get it right, I won't take them off for hours! but then I mostly use this outdoor on a bus, or on a train, and some situations require me to do just that. :frowning2: But the humming technique, might try that too. Thank you! It's more of the depth though, like sometimes I need to...

    Triple flange. Tried the grey foam too, and it still sounded imbalance (but way less). Hmmm might try the slimmer one but I've already wasted 100 dollars for three packs of triple flanges :D Hmmm. I just bought Aonic 3 too (out of curiosity), and it comes with the yellow ones. I might try them...

    Hi, anybody here has an experience with channel imbalance due to weird fitting? Like I just realised, after these three years of using Ety, that my left ear sometimes quieter, but sometimes it’s the right one. it’s like I really need to be accurate with the fitting, or otherwise that happens...

    Ah I think Crinacle once made a video on this right? bringing along my MacBook, plugging in my Ety and some other IEMs, and drinking a glass of cold caramel latte..... ah... can't wait for it :D Thank you for the recommendations.

    So, just visited one of the audio stores in my country that has Shure Aonic 4. Crinacle's review mentions that it's B- something in resolution, while Ety is A-. But I was skeptical. Then I tried it for twenty minutes and yeah, something that costs more than ER4SR, and with a little bit more I...
