I received these phones today and have been listening to them for about 4-5 hours. I have been listening to them out of a Tangent-built Meta42 and a Sony NS500v. I figure I would post a few impressions of them against the Ety ER4P.
The first cd I played using the HP-2's my first thought was that the HP-2's were laid-back. I put on a second cd and then the Grado's were no longer laid back. This lead me to believe that the HP-2's are more neutral then the Ety's, because the Ety's seem to retain a certain character sound with all cd's while the HP-2's character seem to change from cd to cd. To me the areas that the Ety's beat the HP-2s is imaging and detail. The areas that the HP-2's beat the Ety's is in soundstage and are more neautral.
Again these are just my initial quick impressions of the HP-2's and are in no way a review. I hope the above made sense, as I am still new to describing the way headphones sound. I will try to post a review of the HP-2's against the Ety ER4S if there is enough interest. If there is enough interest I would probably post a review in a month or so when my setup is complete.
