And the rest is just a matter of proper fit and amping. I think ER4 has an excellent, wide, airy soundstage, great dynamics, very life like timbre, very full, rich mids (unlike W3's recessed mids), extremely tight, deep bass (better than that on any Westone) and smooth extended highs with no annoying recession like on the UM3X.
It boils down to what the OP is looking for. I would agree that ER4 beats all in detail retreival but that's where it ends. In terms of soundstage, musicality/naturalness, and fullness of sound most all IEM's priced at or over $200 destroy the ER4 in these criteria.
