Right now after owning the Ety ER4s and Shure E500, I'd put them on par with each other. The Shure is more musical and lush, while the ety is more accurate with highs to die for.
The Shures don't do classical right. They lack the highs the violins need and sound very dull, but do rock and jazz very well. The etys are perfect for classical and rock, but don't give you the punch that the Shures do with rock.
Either way, I'm keeping both. The Ety is the better value since it's on par with the Shures, and the Shures are a value because they seem to be about as good as the UE10/11 for several headfiers.
