I´m tired of the clinical sound oh my HF2 and now I,m looking for something more fun sounding for my Iphone. What do you think of the Klipsh S4i? Are the cable noise disturbing? Do they really need 100 hrs of burn in?

Nice brief discussion of the the ER-4, too...very timely considering the recent threads on the ER-4.   http://stereophile.com/headphones/etymotic_research_hf2_amp_hf5_in-ear_headphones/index1.html    

Hi All,   First post here, and I have to say I am very impressed with this site.  There is a lot of information here, so I thought I would sign up and ask my questions here since you guys know the best.   I have been using the Etymotic er6i for years now (2 seperate pairs that both...

  Hi guys,   I'm looking for an earphone that is < 100. It should have good highs and nice smooth mids similar to the se 530s which I had before the cable broke. Instrument separation is a big plus and since I use it on the train a lot isolation is pretty important. I listen to western and...

Hi All! I own Etymotic Hf2 and really happy about their sound. It's really detailed and analytical – thats exactly what I like. The only thing I can complain is the lack of bass. I use eq (slightly) in iTunes on my Macbook Pro to improve it. I've just started to read head-fi forums and...

I am on some sort of Ety rebirth bender (had the MC5s, now have the ER4P/S), and like the 4P/S so much decided to look into the HF2s (iPhone version of HF5). Amazon.com has the black pair for $111 shipped. I ordered a pair, because I may decide on using them with my Touch, not sure. Anyway, the...

Hey guys I'm looking for a pair of earphones.  My budget is $175.  I listen mostly to classical music and soft rock.  My source is mostly an iPod touch and laptop and don't have an amp.   Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

I just bought another pair of ER-4S last week, having previously owned them about 5-6 years ago. One thing that struck me was the cable: is it just me, or has the cable gotten thinner? Anyway, I auditioned them with the three-flanged plugs (not my favorite, by the way), driven by the...

To say Etymotic ER4 series is a classic is in itself an understatement. I mean, do any person knows of another IEM model that can be sold for 19 years with minimum change yet still be considered by many to be the golden standard of accuracy? Or perhaps we want to revisit the fact that it is the...

Hello to you all; It has been a very very long time since I checked head-fi..and I am kind of glad for that because since I stopped coming here I was able to manage not to spend crazy money on these little things called Headphones :-) I've been using my good old ety's er-4p for the last 6...

Hello All!   I walked into a Best Buy recently looking for some headphones that I will buy some some of my hard earned interning cash. I know that the Monster brand is not good. The thing is that they sounded really rich in bass which I am a sucker for.   So I am a college student...

I'm going to upgrade from the UE TF10 in a few weeks and was wondering what are the best current IEMs with the "Etymotic" type flat/neutral sound. I've tried my roommate's ER6i and greatly preferred its neutral sound and great clarity in comparison to the TF10's sound. To me, the ER6i has almost...

Which pair of in-ears do you hold in higher regard: the Klipsch S4's, or the Etymotic ER6i's? These are the two main models I'm looking at right now (if you have any suggestions in the same price range, please post them!).    I listen to a lot of electronic music, but also rap, folk, jazzy...

Etymotic ER6i - does anyone here owns this? how is the sound like compared to other IEMs like UE super fi 3 studio or Crossroads x3i

About three weeks ago i decided to buy my self a new pair of headphones for my Ipod 3G. After spending lots and lots of hours here on Head-Fi and other forums i finally decided to get the Etymotic HF2 head set. And...from that moment my music listening changed. Everything you play sounds...

I've got some etymotics that I want to get some shure olives for. Would I be better off getting them in smalls for deeper insertion or would a shallower fit with mediums be fine and not hinder the sq?

All,   I have been researching the subject of buying an amp for a very long time.    I still have ATH-ESW9s and Sennheiser MX980s playing out of a Sony X-1060 as my portable setup, will probably be gettnig HD25-1(II) to see if I like them more than the ESW9s some time in the future too...

If etymotic glider tips fit in my ear well, would medium sized shure olives fit about as well or would I need to go for the bigger/smaller ones?

I am very interested in these IEM as they purport to be very flat and thus detailed earphones.  The only question I have, which unfortunately seems to be mired in debate, is the difference in the B, S, and P versions.  As I understand it, the S and P are supposed to be the "same" except for the...

I started with the MEE Ai-M6’s and was taken aback at 30 bucks for something that sounded every bit as clear and pretty as they look. Then I got the Cyclone PR1 Pro and it took me in a time machine to my favorite stereo music that was in a friends basement who had an older brother who spent...

Hello,   I know I'm new to the forums and everything, and my first post is also one asking for advice rather than helping, but I really need some advice.   So I've been using Creative EP-630's for the last year, went through approximately two of them (possibly three in a 1.5 year span?)...

My budget is roughly $75. I could go slightly higher if the quality warrants it. A 16gig Ipod Touch will be the primary source of music, but I will also use a Shuffle when I work out. Very rarely do I use my PC for any headphone listening. I'd prefer headphones that can be powered by these...

  I'm sorry to do this, I've just read through about 467 threads that all helped in one way or another so I promise that I'm not just being lazy!   I'm upgrading my headphone collection, and have ordered some Phiaton PS320s for everyday use, and now have approx $80 to spend on upgrading my...

Hello,   I was looking on headphone.com and saw that Etymotic MC5's. Has anyone tried these? If so what do you think about them?   Thanks, RH

I recently received my RE0s and I've been greatly enjoying them. My only complaint is that they didn't come with a real carrying case. While I don't generally like silicone tips, the softer black tips are quite comfortable. However, I'm going to be on a plane for 8-9 hours (that's just one leg...
