Hi everyone
I'm new here and would like some help with an Etymotic purchase I'm about to make. I've been using the ER6i for about two years and I really like the Etymotic sound signature. I'm thinking of upgrading to either the ER4S or ER4P (for use with an iPod) and would like to hear your thoughts on which I should get. Right now, I'm leaning towards the ER4S!
Sound I'm looking for:
Although I love my ER6i, I want slightly less bass and smoother/less grainy treble. I bought the HF5 a few months ago but was disappointed with the sound - I found the sound muddy, male vocals sounded chesty, treble was dull, and bass was bloated. That's one of the reasons why I'm hesitating with the ER4P.
Amplification:
I do not intend to use a headphone amp. I don't listen to my music at ear-shattering levels although I would like to turn it up just a little sometimes.
Music:
I listen to everything, really. Classical, metal, ambient, rock, electronic, country, some jazz. (Lost count after 8,000 CDs.)
Thanks in advance! Hoping to hear your opinions.
