Guys, what about ces 2016? Any news about (improved) er4?
Actually, I was just at CES and went to the Etymotic room/booth to exactly ask about this.
The rep there actually told me that they were indeed making a revision to the ER4. Specifically, from what I understood, they are not tinkering with the sound but instead are focusing on improving the cable.
They want to make the cable actually user-replaceable (since the current cable supposedly isn't designed for normal consumers to replace). I think they also might have said that they want to make the cable less microphonic.
While there is no firm release date, they want to get it out sometime by this year. I think he hinted that Ety may have something by SoCal CanJam in March, but I don't think this is for certain.
EDIT: I corrected a huge typo before that said that Ety was looking to change the sound of the ER4 with the new revision. They are in fact, not going to do so.
