I've had my Ety 4P's for a couple of weeks now, and they're incredible. To be honest, at first, I found them horribly uncomfortable with minimal bass. After burning them in for about 72 hours, the bass suddenly appeared. The sound only got better as I became accustomed to having something shoved in my ear. Like everyone says, the ety's are very revealing. It's amazing how much is going on in the background of songs that just aren't brought out by cheap speakers and headphones. The soundstage is almost nonexistent, though I can clearly differentiate instruments, voices, etc. I don't really mind this. On certain songs, especially with soft vocals, it sounds like someone is whispering in your ear. Very cool. They work well with everything I listen to, which covers most every musical genre. A good seal is crucial to get bass. While the bass won't blow you away, I find it more than adequate (Keep in mind, I'm not a basshead, others may find the bass to be lacking). It's almost impossible for me not to get a good seal now though. The microphonics were also very bothersome at first. Over time, you will get used to this. You can also loop the cord over your ears, which helps immensely. Isolation is pretty good, though you can hear a lot of your own movements/noises. Just wanted to post my thought on these great phones, hope this helps anyone who is thinking about getting them. If I've left anything out, feel free to ask. Oh, one more thing that the ety's will force you to do is keep your ears clean.
