hi.
i'm gonna go to china for almost 2 months, and will be traveling on a train for a long time... so i figured it's time to take the plunge....
i will be using a portable cd player of course (iriver 400). no amp. but based on the posts i have read, most portables can drive the 4s fine.
but also, the etymotic web site says that the 4p has more bass, and is more efficient. people on this site say that the only difference between the two models are different impedances... but that's not really what etymotic's description implies....
so..............................
1. is it the concensus that 4s sounds better?
2. will it sound fine out of my iriver 400?
3. also, anyone remember where to buy those custom ear molds for the 4 series for about $50?
thanks.
