Alright, Here goes... I've read just about every post here on Head-Fi that pertained to getting custom molds put on the ER4, and the majority of them were pretty negative with regards to how they sounded after the molds were put on. Well, I decided to take the gamble and had a local audiologist take my impressions to have them sent off to Westone for custom molds. (Style #34, Oto Blast clear, I sent Westone my ER4S's in the mail with the impressions) The Total Cost ? $175.00
Fast foward two weeks: I was extremely worried that they wouldn't fit properly and that I would have had to send them back for adjustments. Well, they came back.... Fit was perfect, and they seal. Can't ask for more! Right?!?
So how do they sound? That was the Golden Question at the time! The Answer after a month of usage? They sound the same as when I used them with the tri-flanges except now they're 10 times more comfortable. Haha, I kid you not... I fell asleep with them on the first night!
Anyway, I writing this post mainly to serve as a document to my personal and positive experience in having them converted. If anyone is thinking about having theirs done I would tell them that " I'm extremely happy with what Westone did with these molds and that the end results didn't change the sound signature a bit."
I'm also writing this post to serve as a Thank You letter to all you crazy Audio heads!!!
Yall are wild,
