I've had them for 3 years and suddenly I looked at them today and I noticed that the part where the foamies go just broke on one of them. I really didn't need this, but I am thinking of options now.


From your experience, will Etymotic take care of me or offer a reasonably priced repair?

Should I just bite the bullet and order another pair? I can't really afford it but I guess I can make sacrifices elsewhere.

Should I consider something else, even though I can't imagine using anything else? If so, what should I consider? I'm not so inclined with multiple driver designs because they introduce a crossover network, but I have never tried one and maybe I should before buying another ER-4P.

Does anyone know where to get the best price on the ER-4P, from a forum sponsor if possible? Can I buy a used pair or might someone be in the same situation and sell me one driver? Is the newer design more sturdy?

You can get them new for around $170 new many places on the world wide web.

Amazing! Thank you. Almost makes me feel guilty for considering another company for the replacement.

Well, I guess that means I will be IEM less for 3 weeks or so. Is there something I should try if I like the Ety sound as a second pair of IEMs? Something to hold me over and be a spare IEM after the Etys come back.

er6i? If you are really in love with the Ety sound, nothing else will feel right. If you want to try the opposite end of the spectrum, there are plenty of choices depending on budget.
