Hey all,
So I'm new to IEM's, and the Etymonic 4P/S is looking like a good solution. What do you all think of them as a starter IEM? I'm a little trepidatous about putting anything in my ear canal...but it seems like the only way to do so is to try some(I want them for plane travel etc).
Anyway, I'm unsure as to which model I should get. I have a total bithead which I bought really recently for my HD595's, but I'm still not sure how much I'll be using my iPod with it, as it's a little awkward carrying around the bithead with an iPod. At the same time, I hear that the 4S model sounds a lot better when it's amped than the 4P, so since I have an amp it would make sense to take advantage of that SQ difference. So my question is this: Would an iPod be able to drive the 4S model if at times I wanted to use it unamped?
What would you all recommend I do?'
