Because it sounds like an ER-4S but it's 1/4 the price...

I ordered a pair for my brother, then decided to get one for myself, but they're no longer listed. Going to the Google cache and adding the item gets you a "restricted item" page.

Can anyone give me their opinion of these vs the ER4Ps? I'd like to get a set of earphones this week, and the IM716s are $75-100 plus $20-30 shipping for me, vs. $159 total if I tack the the ER4Ps on to a B&H order.

Go ER4P and don't look back.

(I haven't tried my im716 yet but I loooove the ER4. I only made the switch because I was short on cash but I have a feeling I'll own another ER4 before long.)

My view is the 716s sound great if amped, and the ER4Ps are not worth an added $50 (I owned the Etys and sold them). The 716s are not as dry/neutral, a little more warmth/bass. Again, that is if you are going to use an amp. I also am going to send my 716s away soon, to have the pod removed and some 47-ohm resistors added (which some hereabouts say improved the sound to near-perfection). Of course, I got mine for $50. If buy.com or J&R put them back on sale, a no-brainer.

You're supposed to agree so I can decide more easily

 

[tstarn06]

Oops. Get the ER4Ps, and don't forget the S cable when and if you use your amp.

Woot! I receive mine today. Order on the Dec 11. Paid $6 shipping only. It cost them $17.30 to ship according to the stamp. That mean in reality they only got $34 for the phones and $17 for shipping that a steal for Canadians, it still selling for $140 here not including shipping.

The deal is dead now they no longer have any im716 on their website.

I'm using mine for the first time now. They are amazing for the money and definitely worth the $50. I prefer the er4p since the treble is more pristine but the im716 seems to have a wider soundstage.

More later!

Try these, they might narrow the gap.
