Just called Etymotic CS to inquire as the status of my ER4 repair and it is currently being evaluated. Those who are CONUS and choose to deal with Etymotic should feel worry free doing so.

What has been the turnaround time for those who sent in their ER4's for cable repair to Etymotic? I weighed my options and figured a factory replacement of the cable would have been the most cost and time effective but now I am thinking I should have purchased a second pair or even a pair of the...

Just checking in with my 1.5 year old pair of ER4PT. I recently tried a set of the P Series tips from Comply and I did not notice any change in sound but they are significantly longer than their normal tips. I will trim down the length the next time I need to switch out tips. I will be catching...

I used these when I reterminated my RHA MA750s, I was able to re-use the RHA barrel after filing off the threads of the original plug and deleted the spring strain relief in favor for one from heatshrink

Soundcloud was still not recognized by upgrading to MM so I still utilized the DAC fix app when streaming Soundcloud....not a biggie IMO but figured I would let you know that it might be the same for you. Everything else worked perfectly though. 

I think I ****ed up making the 1770s my first "headphone" purchase....I don't know what the progression/upgrade would be without SERIOUS investment. They are efficient but revealing when amped, the sub bass is amazing (actually the whole freq range but the lower region stands out without...

Seen the 213 going for around $100 with batteries and I like the look and feel but I am in a micro sized setup mood lately.

The Aspire should work out nicely, I started with a run of the mill ego kit and Kanger T3s back in 2012/13. If I were starting over again I might grab up the Joyetech eGo AIO because the biggest factor in quitting smoking for a smoker is an easy to use alternative. APVs complicate things...

Have you done a factory default reset since upgrading? I was having freezing issues and random "glitchiness" but since the FDR the only thing that has not improved is battery life.  I only have anecdotal experience with battery issues, if I swap batteries (1 from promo, 1 from LG sale, 3...

WOW! Pdibs,  Sunboxes, Woodvilles, Tmods, and rare italian BFs also!

100% agree. What music player (app) are you using as well? I found that even when I was utilizing the HiFi DAC in normal mode the SQ was night/day vs no DAC or previous phone(LG G4)

Been having issues with both battery life and freezing, so I bit the bullet and am doing a FDR...fingers crossed all this is worth it.   Recently got the Beyerdynamic DT 1770s and the headphone pairs very well with the ESS Sabre. Now I need to decide on making my own portable cable or creating...

Welcome, I expect you will become quite popular very quickly. Cant wait to hear/read more about the ER4-SR/XR.

I think this means the newest iteration warrants a separate thread (since other than dimensions so much has changed) to alleviate future confusion...

I used Etymotic since they sell the plastic style filters, means they are usually one time use but ensures that I can assure that the nozzles will not be damaged which "can" happen with the cheaper metal ones from mouser.

Nicely done, single entry cans make our jobs easier when recabling by hiding the split.   Gathering some parts to do a recable myself of some single entry cans I just need to decide on if I want the job to be a universal (able to use on multiple headphones) or tailored specifically for the DT...

IIRC the gain selection is based on the ESS Sabre 9602c and not user selectable. Creating a work around defeats the purpose of the entire chipset implementation...   I ran into a similar situation with my RHA MA750i not being able to reach desired volume (due to inline mic/controls no fault of...

The dac fix app only activates the ESS Sabre during playback for apps not originaly compatible, MM helped to impliment dac access to more apps without 3rd party intervention but none of that deals with the gain selection of the amp. Not necessarily helpful but I think some clarification is needed.

  I was trying to snag a vinatge pair off ebay a couple of times but when that panned out I did not feel as bad when I grabbed that deal off Amazon.  

Couple of days to a couple of weeks and brain burn in should set all right again.   I have been enjoying mine so much more now that I am using the Comply tips because I can insert them and remove them without the pressure/suction effect. I also just recently put in the red filters from...

Welcome,Tox7o7, the Eytmotic ER4 appreciation thread is located here(link) and can suggest a number of great amp options to suit your needs.

ARGH, well I will finally have some time this week to go and demo the Custom Studio (plus they are now in stock) at my local Guitar Center and now looking into the DT 1770s IDK which I like more:   Custom Studio "Bass" sound slider (but if the DT 1770 sound better than the sliders could be a...

I have been experiencing this using my Etymotic ER4 and the V10. Stationary listening does not pose a problem but even casual walking will trigger the Google Now voice search. I am curious if I were to use an insulator on the location of the mic location on a TRRS plug will work to cease this...

I looked over the full specifications page but did not see a clarification of the number of volume steps. I would love to pair this with my RHA MA750 and iPod shuffle for gym/running use! EDIT:From BloodyPenquin's review
