Love my ER4XR's. I'm a bit of a basehead so the extra oomph in that frequency range on the XR's makes them a bit more musical vs, ER4's IMO.

That's basshead not basehead Although I've been accused.

Pair it with a DAP that has a warm sound signature (ex: N5ii) or use a filter that has a slow decay and you'll find the low end improves

My ER4SR sounds great with my Cayin N5ii which gives it a hint a warmth in the low end and also my 300R which makes it more dynamic with the SLOW filter.

The sub-bass will never really be there though =P

I wonder if er4s needs to burn-in ? It use BA driver.

I just got the er4xr and if this is the bass version, I don't want to know how the Sr is.

The upper clarity is gorgeous though. May not end up being my thing, but my next headphone needs to be like these with more bodied bass

Getting a ER4 for bass is a bad idea. Although the ER4SR + XDP300R (slow filter) has great bass for me, you’re probably better off with the EE Bravado or something.

The bass varies quite a bit for me depending on tips. And beyond that they respond pretty well to EQ, so you can always give that a try.

I have a ER4XR. Was looking for good headphone so signed up for home audition program to LCD2 classic. I am so surprised how well ER4XR presentation is in all aspects.

I haven’t listened to my ER4XR’s in awhile and I took them to work with me Sunday. Man, I forgot how good these sound.

So my ER4SR arrived. Just a few quick impressions comparing it to my HF5. I can tell it is a step up. Not only can it handle an amp, but also seems to have a bit more dynamic range. Still the HF5 was quite good and very good value.

Its (almost) all in the presentation. To use a rough comparisons:

While the HF5 is more akin to HD600. The ER4SR is closer to HD800. Ultimately, it seems to be closer than either of these sets to reference.

Outside of a Focal Utopia, the ER4SR is among the best presentations I've heard. To me, Etymotic is an essential piece of kit, an audioscope for those who want to delve deep into sound.

If you have audio playing while you insert these, a weird effect happens where once a proper seal is achieved, it sounds as if the IEMs are not in your ears. Transparency.

i know what you mean, they disappear, is like a window to the music, but open one, i love my ER4S

ER4SR are pretty much an essential passage into the hobby. Same with the Andromeda once you can afford it. Whether you decide to keep them or not after is up to you but they must be listened to.

i haven't heard the ER4SR, but for those who owns both: how much difference/similarities between ER4XR with PtoS impedance adapter compared to the ER4SR? I'm using my PtoS adapter more (and also a 100 ohm diy one) with my ER4XR, while i prefer using my ER4PT without the adapter

thanks

I try to love my HF5, but it's hard, because the fitlers so easily clog up with dirt and then there's no soudn anymore .. third time now. never had any earphone so annoyingl easily get defunct all the time requiring new filters

i used double flanges and now using Final Audio E tips on my etys. i use them because the stock triflange just simply can't be inserted properly to make any kind of seal on my ears
