I contacted them and they told me they could put in what I want. It didn't seem like they knew what to do - they need instructions. I measured my damaged cable more carefully today. I see 0.6 ohms from sleeve (common) to each of the commons on the IEM side. I see 19.8 ohms from tip to left and...

Does Lunashops put in the proper resistors that are supposed to be in the Etymotic cables? I have ER-4P IEMs that need a new cable but it's worrisome that they don't have you specify which type of IEM you have when ordering. I measured mine and I think I measured 22 ohms series resistance on the...

Hello! About 13 years ago I purchased Etymotic Reserach ER-4P IEMs and then got Westone custom ear molds that the ER-4P plugged into. I've been using that setup ever since and have been very happy with it. Sadly, the right channel is now kinda sketchy and I'm pretty much positive it's the cable...

OK I just pulled the trigger on some ER-4Ps and I'm meeting with an audiologist on Wednesday to have the molds made. Will report back on how I like them!

Also - do people like the Etymotic Research headphones more than the Westones? I talked with one distributor who seemed to think that most people were getting the ES1s over the ER-4s.

Hi there - I've had a pretty sad battle with headphones for the past, ohhh, 10 years. I just want portable, comfortable headphones that sound great. I travel a lot (think planes, trains, buses, etc.) - so my headphones see a lot of use. I want isolation both in the sense that I can't hear what's...

Howdy folks - I need to repair a headphone cable. I haven't cut it open yet - but I suspect it'll be the standard stranded enamel coated wire that is awful to work with. Couple questions: Is there a standard for what colors are what? Are there any good methods for removing the enamel...

Just put in an order at Dale Pro Audio. Hard to say no to free shipping!

Hi there - I need to put a new connector on some headphones. I'd like to put a good right angle 3.5mm plug on them. These Switchcraft parts look real nice. I found a couple fairly shady looking places that sell them, most seem to have large minimum orders or non functional websites. This site is...

I finally heard back from them. They told me to suck it. Perhaps not in those exact words.

Nothing but silence from Bose. They have permanently lost at least one customer. I'll do my best to make sure I'm not the only one.

I have some Sony D66SL ("Eggo") headphones at work. Their sound quality is good, they offer some isolation but not enough that I can't hear what's going on around me. I don't need to take them off to have a conversation with people. Though there are days which I wish I had completely isolated...

I have Bose QC2 headphones. I know, I know - everybody hates them here. However, of all the high end headphones I've tried - they are by far the most comfortable. They don't have the sound quality of some of my other headphones, they aren't as portable, they use batteries, etc. - but boy do they...
