If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...

You could try a well-regarded planar-magnetic set like the OG 7Hz Timeless or the newer 2024 Letshuoer S12.

I can say that, IMO, the OG 7Hz Timeless would fall short of the clarity and details of the ER4XR -- I had it for only about 2 weeks before selling it for be very dull sounding to me. The CFA Andromeda models could rival the ER4XR in clarity and details, and would have some lower warmth some people miss in the single BA ER4XR.

Hi guys.
So today I replaced filters with original green ones first time in two ears and holy crap treble is too much now? lol

that's the filters do
look at difference from 2khz to 20khz

Just out of curiosity, if there was an option to have the ER4 response in a custom IEM shell, would that be of any interest to anybody here?

Yes, actually. YU9 Audio offers that service with all the configs, as B/S/P. At least for me the more complex thing is to actually have the ears scanned and sended into an file format

Like this.

Like this.

They wouldn't look like that, but more of a standard custom IEM. I'm about to launch a custom IEM company and am considering having an off-menu option for some of ER4 lovers.

Sounds great to me! Actually on USA?

Yep, crafted in the USA.

The ER4 is not a focus of the business. I am just considering offering it as an homage to my past work and a way to accommodate folks that asked for it from us for years.

lol? how did the old filters looked? as in how do we know that it's too dirty and needs replacing?

on the other hand, any er4xr owners here tried the filter tuning kit? im thinking if i should try the brown ones if i'll like it or not

Finally!

BTW, did you ever try to get Zach interested in building a wood-shelled IEM?

It’s definitely come up as a discussion point, but nothing concrete. There’s a lot going on for both companies right now.

The EVO is still the best IEM I have. Just that edge better than my ER4XR.
But I could live with ER4XR as a custom IEM.

Well, I may have a different suggestion in that case.
