Just started getting into classical and want something that doesn't contaminate the music with its own stuff like additional bass or something. What I want is flatness.

Where do I go? Westone 4R and the Heir Audio 4.Ai have my interest. What else do I look at?

Budget is around $400.

Go to the source, ER-4S. They are not legendary after 15 years by accident.

Thanks for this suggestion. I have been looking at these and while I think that these are possibly what I'm after but I really don't like their shape. Their body shape I mean. I think I gave these a try a few years ago and I really don't remember them as being comfortable. I know that now it sounds really picky but is there anything else that has a similar graph but a better body?

Thanks a ton for the suggestion! I had a look at the Q5 and ended up somehow at theheadphonelist http://theheadphonelist.com/headphone-list/?model_search=&headphone_price1=&headphone_price2=450&average_rating1=0&average_rating2=10&sound_rating1=0&sound_rating2=10&build_rating1=0&build_rating2=5&isolation_rating1=0&isolation_rating2=5&comfort_rating1=0&comfort_rating2=5&microphone_rating1=0&microphone_rating2=5&accessibility_rating1=0&accessibility_rating2=5


 


What are your thoughts on the ClearTune Monitors CT-200 and the Custom Art Music One?

I think the new AT-IM02 is very natural and balanced. It's the closest thing I've found to the ER-4.
