    Etymotic Filters Enquiry.

    Anybody know where the best place to go for Ety ER-4 filters (UK based delivery) is? There are lots of filter change tools and tips, notsomuch the green filters.   I'd rather pay a quid more for ones which aren't polystyrene Hong Kong fakes, just in case people suddenly poke me at a couple...

    Help with Etymotic ER4S/ER4P

    Hi everyone     I'm new here and would like some help with an Etymotic purchase I'm about to make. I've been using the ER6i for about two years and I really like the Etymotic sound signature. I'm thinking of upgrading to either the ER4S or ER4P (for use with an iPod) and would like to hear...

    Does ER4 tips fit on the RE0?

    Having used the RE0 + Shure black tips every day on the subway to school. I am increasingly fed up about the lack of isolation on my RE0 on the subway, as I find myself turning up the volume up quite a bit just to hear dialogue. Also, I hear no bass and detail because of the background noise. I...

    DIY er4p to er4s conversion cable

    Hey, I've owned some er4p's for a while now, and after reading some threads about the er4s's, I want to try one of those er4p to er4s conversion cables. $50 seems a little high for a cable and some resistors, though, so I am considering building my own conversion cable. I don't really know the...

    Apple IEM - most underrated IEMs on the market

    I recently downgraded from IE8 to Apple IEms and what can I say other then the fact that I am pleasantly surprised by them. Two gripes I had with the IE8 was that 1) they dont isolate at all and 2) their bass is way way too overwhelming. When listening to tunes in public I was just hearing the...

    Review: Apuresound-recabled Etymotic ER4P (revised)

    Introduction I have pretty much owned all kinds of ER4 in existance. My first Etymotic was the ER4P, after which I used a PtoS adapter, then I had a chance to try the Apuresound ER4S. After these I bought and sold a barrage of IEMs and earphones, and have never been perfectly happy with...

    Sound quality between single and double drivers

    Hey Head fi!   Just started using this site and lovin the community. I'm pretty new to the IEM scene as I've only owned the shure SE210 which to me sounded great, but as many people on the site say there is much more out there to be heard. I've been planning on buying the SE425s since...

    How far do you insert your IEMs?

    Updated here: http://rinchoi.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-deep-do-you-insert-you-er4.html   Etymotic Research approved the article.   This means that most of the IEM manufacturers have been hiding the most vital part of the equation in using IEMs- proper coupling of the earphone and the...

    Modding Etymotic ER4.

    Again, this is a question. 'Cause I'm a novice. Is there any other way (except for cutting one flange) to alter the sound? Actually I know about something (wait for me to get my camera back and I'll post a "How to absolutely get rid of microphonics" and "How to achieve more isolation with...

    Haven't been on head-fi for awhile, in fact I've given up on headphone for awhile but circumstances have changed again and I'm looking to pick up a pair of IEM.   I had the er4p(or s, can't remember) and although I liked it very much bass wasn't quite there. I currently still have my hd600...

    RE252 takes the best from ER-4S and RE0

    RE252 takes the best from ER-4S and RE0 Once I wrote an extensive review of Head-Direct RE0 earphones, made in a form of comparison to Etymotic ER-4P/S and Shure E500 (same to SE530). At the end of the reviewing process, I struggled choosing between RE0 and my beloved ER-4P/S. Finally, I...

    What should I do for Etymotics?

    People seem to be loving the Etymotics IEMs, but I want to know where they stand lined up next to other IEMs in their respective price ranges. I may jump on the 6i train, but others seem to love hf5 and the ER4. How well do each of these IEMs stack up against their price range competition?

    Apogee ONE, is it good for a Sennheiser HD650 and/or an Etymotic ER4-S?

    I want to upgrade my portable rig. First I would like to buy an amp (there is no headphone amp selling in my country,so I decided to get an audio interface), my options would be the M-Audio Fast Track Pro or the Apogee ONE. Which one had a better headphone amp? Can they drive an HD650 or a ER4-S?

    Portable amp for Etymotic ER4S?

    Hi Folks.   I am currently really enjoying my new ER4S's through Gary's PA2V2. Plenty of power for the Ety's. I also have a Nuforce icon mobile but have found it not powerful enough to drive them well.   I am considering an upgrade of amp and wanting suggestions as to what would be a...

    how's the ER-6i considered nowadays?

    my dirt-cheap IEMs finally died (I forget the name. some $5 things I got at Big Lots).  They really didn't sound THAT bad after EQ-ing, much better than the JVC Marshmallows actually.  But now I want something decent, that'll compete at least with my woodied Grados.   I was going for the...

    I have had my Etymotics ER-4S for almost 10 years.  I started out using them with and Airhead and a CD Player and then of course iPod, now iPhone but stopped carrying the amp when the iPod came out.  I am very frequent business traveler so that is where my cans see all the action.     I...

    Full size cans for Metal?

    Hi folks,   I am listening to Metal(heavy,progressive,death,doom,gothic,folk... well everything except black and grind) mainly through SR 325is and Ety ER4S and am mostly very content. But sometimes I feel like I need a little bit punch in bass division especially in the bass and drums...
