Hey TheEmpyre, just wondering what your take on the HF5 was. I talked with Etymotic on their other offerings before, and they stressed that if I was used to the ER-4 then their lesser models would seem pale in comparison. I've been thrilled with those Panasonics I mentioned, for bopping around town, watching movies at home, etc. The Etys I use for longer trips and for all important sound isolation needs, and at home switching off with my AKGs.
BTW, in case I didn't mention it above I also listen primarily to melodic metal / death metal, and Vocal Trance. Interspersed with pop or rock n' roll sometimes, and audio books.
Very sorry I didn't see this post sooner. One month later lol. Well I love the hf5s, they have been everything I hoped they would be. Getting used to the fit was the most difficult part, and I still haven't found a plug that fits perfectly, one ear is always different than the other unfortunately. The sound is excellent for my needs, great highs and mids, hearing things in music I never knew were there! The bass of course is lacking, but I knew that going in and that's not why I bought these. The bass is plenty for what I listen to and even isn't bad for trance, I like hearing the synthesizer better than the bass anyways! And for $100 can't beat it. Sound isolation also excellent, would be better with a perfect fit of course
