This might be a pointless exercise, but let's try it anyway...

I am familiar with the following IEM's:

1. ER6 (not 6i');
2. ER4P;
3. Super.fi 5 Pro.

For each of these 3, which cans would be the most analogous?

I am also familiar with Sony MDR-V6's and just a little bit familiar with HD-600's (std cable). How would these 2 map to IEM's?

ER6= Gradoish.... Emphasize detail
SuperFi Pro= Beyer


Havent heard the SuperFi Pro's but people that like bass tend to like them. So this is why i matched with the Beyers. Havent heard enough of the ER4p's to make a good choice.

I don't know if its apples vs oranges
but I have the er6i and maybe they are like Sennheisers in their detail
But I don't think they sound like Grados.
IMO it will cost alot more to get a comparable IEM vs full size headphone.
Although obviously there are alot of people who prefer IEMs to cans, for various reasons
