From what I've read, I thought the newer ones are easier to drive due to the lower impedance. Not sure though. And I don't have the new ones to compare. Yet.
because when that was said they compared apples to apples i.e. er4s vs er4sr as that was the target signature of the sr model.
at least I understood it like that.

It was my understanding, too.So to be clear... is it fair to say that at max volume, using the Sansa Clip (or other player for that matter), the XR and SR should both be about 4% less loud than using the same player with the ER4PT?
Also, I'm still curious about the first question I asked:
Do the ER4SR have a little less bass than the ER4PT, or about the same amount? Would I be right to say that the ER4XR should have a little more bass than the ER4PT?
4db not 4%. to give a very non intuitive reference, +10db is considered about twice as loud. 4db isn't a lot of difference. certainly not one that would justify changing the source if the old IEM was fine with it without having to max out the volume level.
