I’ve had the Ety ER-4P for 2 years and have never been able to wear them for more than 30 minutes before they became unbearably uncomfortable. I have a small box full of Ety tips including the Baby Blues and none of them ever worked for me until today. Today, I tried the 4P again with the small double flange cups, but this time I changed the way I put them in. Instead of pulling my ear up and back and twisting the 4P as I inserted it deep in my ear canal, this time I moistened it slightly and pushed it gently in with a slight twist and a wiggle and finished off with a gentle back tug to verify the seal. I’ve worn them now for over four hours and even the tiny tickle melted away. So I’m living proof there’s hope for those who thought they could never tolerate Etys.
Besides overcoming the comfort issue, the big revelation is the treble. I never knew there was so much crisp, micro treble information in my classical music CDs and I’ve never heard this before from any of my other phones including the Stax Lambda Pro. I'm listening now to the 4P plus S cable connected to my LD MKIV SE tube amp and this absurd combo resembles a mosquito tethered to bulldozer.
