Hey guys.. Here's the deal. I've got a major issue at the moment. I'm going out of town to NYC on Wednesday.. It's like a 8 hour flight with the layover. and I "NEED" some headphones.   I have some TF10 Custom's I had made during the $100 dollar amazon deal, but I need a new cable for those...

I have had my Triple Fi's for almost two years now. With a modified Westone E2 cable and the reverse mod, they have been a joy to use: easy fit and good SQ. The only issue I had was that I could not use them with the medium silicon tips for more than about two to three hours before my ears...

I just received a pair of ety hf3 iems with iphone controls and the controls do not work at all. I have a iphone 3gs (updated with the latest software) and the original stock ear bud controls still works great. Has anybody else encountered this? If there is a quick fix I could try before i send...

I wrote this to vent my frustrations and you guys would be the only ones that can understand. Maybe it'll spark a good debate as well. I just had an "oh ****" moment. A dubious problem no doubt as it's between two really nice IEM's but here's the deal... After trying armature driver IEM's by...

Please vote for your favorite Westone 3 tips. (and take a moment, to share your thoughts on sound quality & comfort differences, among the tip styles you've tried)

Just got my package and I wanted to put up some pics of the packaging etc.. Looks pretty nice and the mini triple flanges are a real surprise, I Wish more companies (Cough cough.. ety) would make them. Enjoy, I'll post impressions later in the week. I've been listening to these for about 30...

Have you guys ever experienced a significant loss of bass whenever you listen to IEM's on a vehicle (which for me is most of my listening time) as the engine drowns out the bass. I'm using Futuresonics Atrio's with Etymotic tri-flange tips and in quiet environments they are as warm as you like...

I will be using an iPhone 4 to drive them will they be good enough to drive the MTPG or do I just need to get the regular turbines???

I'm not really sure which one I should get after my friend telling me I should just save some money since I'm not a crazy audiophile.     My original thought is that i should grab triplefis since I can find a pair for $130 compared to the retail price. But my friend recommended me...

I've had my ER-4S headphones for probably about 9 years or so and have loved them this whole time, but I've either lost or damaged all of the eartips other than the gray 3 flange eartips, and I wanted to try the other ones, but the only options on the website at etymotic was to purchase 7 sets...

Hey folks, I was hoping to pick up some new IEMs. My last pair of MC5s broke on me, but luckily, J&R gave me a refund. So I've got a $70 gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket. Here are my priorities, in order of importance.   - Sound quality. I realize that I'm somewhat limited at...

It can be found here http://www.etymotic.com/cs/outwarranty.html! If you have a pair of old etymotics (besides the ER4 series which can be repaired) that don't work, you can buy a new, unopened pair for a great price. What is really sweet is that you can upgrade, like from the ER6i to the ER4P...

Hi everyone,   I'm new here but I have recently gotten interested in high end headphones and the "audiophile" world, so to speak.  I have looked on these forums a few times for suggestions about products I should buy.  About a month ago, I purchased a pair of Etymotic ER4P earphones with the...

Hi all! I'm new here. I apologize if this is a silly/newbie question. My Etymotic ER6i's failed on me recently and Ety has refused to replace them, because they're out of warranty (which is understandable in my book -- no complaints).   I purchased a pair of Head-Direct RE0's and I'm loving...

Hey guys,   I was trying to use some Ety phones with Shure tips, and in the process of taking the tips off (they were too big for my ears), the shaft of the MC5s broke. The MC5s I had were less than a month old and I'm hoping to return them to Ety. Does anyone have any experience dealing...

so i've just ordered a new set of etymotic glider tips, i like them for how well they fit my ears and how much isolation they give   but lately the tips have been tearing up at the 'stalk' within days of me putting them on my ER4's ... some of them are already torn while they are still in...

I currently own an Earsonics SM3. Some people say it's a neutral IEM, but I decided I need a more neutral IEM. Though I like it with some albums, with other albums, especially the ones with a thick midrange, it just fails to produce a pleasant sound, rather it gets annoying. Because it has a...

My dad has requested a set of replacements for the stock ipod buds as a Christmas present. I've enjoyed the Etymotic's that I have used, but I'm not sure if they'd be best for him considering the amount of travel he does and he definitely wants something comfortable (quite a few people seem to...

Seasons Greetings to everyone at Head-Fi!    Etymotic is pleased to announce a new promotion available only to members of Head-Fi.  Beginning today if you purchase either the ER4P or ER4P-T (Our new travel version of the ER4P) from www.etymotic.com, you will receive a free P-to-S Converter...

Hi all,   I'd like to try IEM's but I know almost nothing about them. I would use them mainly (or only ?) while travelling by train or plane, so one very strong instance is isolation from outside noise; together with sound quality of course. So, first of all: do you think I could get a...

I used to own custom ETY's 30 years ago but it's been a while so I consider myself a newbie. Can you guys tell me how long I should be able to comfortably wear my customs before I experience:   A. discomfort B. pain C. the desire to rip my face off

Hey guys, new to the site and i am loving the plethora of information here. My girlfriends birthday is coming up and i would love to get her a new pair of IEMs. Shes has a ipod shuffle, and been using its default crap headphones (sigh). She listens to alot of sarah bareilles, john mayer, enya...

At the moment i have some Sennheiser CX 270's and i'm wanting to upgrade to a decent set of earphones (wanting to spend around £130).   I've been looking around, reading different reviews etc and i've narrowed my choice down to 3. The Etymotic Research ER-4P's, Phonak Audeo PFE 112's and the...
