So I got my er4s back from repair. Looks like they just replaced everything. Not with the newer braided cable, but with a somewhat different straight cable with red and blue earpieces. The cable and design appear to be almost identical, but the wires themselves don't feel as rugged. They feel thinner and more flexible, but not as hefty. Not sure what that means for durability or other things. Time will tell I suppose.
I will say this though. I've been using a few different earphones, primarily the kc06, which tones out almost perfectly flat for my ears. When I put the er4s in my ears, with the stock green filters they sent back.... OMG. The er4s is absolutely the best earphone I've ever heard.
Even though no earphone is perfect, and the er4s lacks some sub bass, they are by far the clearest, most transparent sound from an earphone. This became so much more apparent after not having them to use for a few weeks and then putting them back in my ears. I mean, wow.
The bass is even better than I remember it. I'm starting to wonder if my filters were getting old and needed replacing anyway? Who knows. Maybe it was just familiarity and then losing them and then getting them back. I'm a happy man in terms of sound though. Wow.
