[size=medium]FUN = weighty,punchy + not thin + enchanting and rich sound[/size]


It is really interesting to see which one is more "fun".
I really don't care if it is not accurate or it is colored sound.


(Please vote only if you listened them both)

You are most welcome to explain your vote..

Thanks,

Ofcourse

I added "weighty" up there..

 

[mos86]

I have a question regardless the poll, which one's more weighty? as I think about it, it is one of the most important things I look for, is there a consensus?

 

[Shaikoten]

The etys are much thinner than Shures, but all in all are a bit more detailed. Not as fun so much as precise. Definitely, Shure has the "punch" you're looking for.
EDIT: I also have to put in another vote for E4 though

My feelings exactly, I definitly liked the er6i over the e3c, but they are a bit thin. For me, E4 fixed the only complaints I had with the er6i.

Thanks.. I know the shure e4c may suit me better, but the e3c are 110$ and the e4c are 66$ more. plus will be my first pair of good headphones, ofcourse I have demanding hearing but I don't think It is as demanding as yours, plus I don't care so much for SQ as I care about enjoying the music.

Please let me know what you think and If more people can verify that the e3c are more weighty it would be very nice..

Thanks,

ER6i all the way!! Awesome detail, and with foam tips, the bass comes around quite nicely!

So the E4 retains everything good about the ER6i AND adds a fuller sound? DAYAMM. I think I need a pair! My ER4P/S are tremendously detailed (even more so than my HD650), but definitely not as full and weighty as I'd like. If the E4 is the portable version of the HD650, then I may have to try hard to overcome the urge to get them E4s!

 

[ken36]

er-4p/s by far. imo.

 

[xtr3me]

I have the er6i, and I think detail is what better defines them, so they've I think the shures will be more "fun".
Either way, you won't be disappointed with any of them.

 

[Spiritboxer]

I prefer the er6i but I've owned the E3 and I think you'll find them to be more *fun* as you've defined it. Neither one is close to the end all /be all and if you can't go for the pricier models now, be advised, at some point you *will* be upgrading.

I guess my vote has to be "none of the above," as I've only listened to the original ER-6 (which I think is discernibly inferior to the ER-4P's).

If we're talking about FUN, my none of the above vote WOULD go to the UE 5 EB's. If I'm listening to real bass-based music (like drum 'n bass, for example), the bass production of these things is fabulous to hear.

For other kinds of music they aren't as much fun, though
