lots of stuff, totally eclectic.

but there are definitely genres i prefer the sound of through them,

dance/electronica to me, is crystal clear and beautifully represented, similar to my grado 325i's

herbie hancock is a great experience with them in S mode!

though i did find listening to the best of fleetwood mac, i preferred the output in P mode! keeps you on your toes!

First time poster on this thread.

It only took 30 minutes of e500 experience to truly appreciate how great my er4-s is.

My sentiments exactly. I was going to write a thread about how the ER4S ruined my e500, but I didn't want to start a flame thread.

Basically, after one week of constant ER4 use and then trying the e500 back on, I thought the e500 was broken some how!!! I tried a friend's e500 and the same sound, so... with process of elimination: it just turns out that the e500 sound that I once thought superb, was actually a muddy, bass whore.

I just switched from e500 to er-4s and the etys are much better. They sound much more natural because the treble is not disconnected from the rest of the sound spectrum.

Edit: Oh, and add me to the ety owners list

The one thing I'm a bit nervous about is the highs. I know the e500s are rolled off, but they are very smooth with no fatigue. When I use my super.fi 5 pros they immediately sound a bit more open, but I notice I can't listen as long because of the highs. I assume that the er-4s are smoother than the super.fis if you go by price point = quality.

 

[Antony6555]

I don't find them fatiguing at all. I just got them and have been listening to them for about 4 and a half hours. But it might depend on the music your listening to and personal preference/your ears.

Black ER6i's x 2 and ER4P's.

I just finished ordering m first set of Ety's(ER-4P), and I'm kinda excited, now what's next, I'm thinking black foam sleeves,and a P>S adapter, but after some searching I'm having difficulties narrowing it down , can anyone help point the way

please

The best thing you could grab would be a 75 ohm resistor. I got one from turbo who is selling them for a steal right now. Initially I got it just to use with an amp but now I use it regardless. iPod touch + turbo 75 resistor + ER4P = magic.

I wrote to Etymotics and asked if they are working on a new line of ER4s in the future, their response:

I was hoping they'd at least develop a dual driver ER4--that IEM would be perfection.

ER-4P (Classic Red/Blue) (P>S Adapter)

and I always bring a pair of ER-20 to concerts

 

[prosound]

A happy owner of black er6i now!

 

[MrJingles]

I just bought a set of ER-4Ps from another member and will have them in the next couple of days! Can't wait to hear what all the fuss is about.

 

[MrJingles]

I've been listening to my new ER-4Ps for a couple of hours and they sound great!
The details are awesome! I'm hearing things I never heard with my e500s. Having said that, as of right now, I do miss the fatter low end. I think my ears will get more accustomed to it as days go by.

Also, I ordered the 75ohm adapter from Turbo today to hear the difference.

I listen mostly to classical with an occasional jazz.
