After a few days listening to the ER4SR at home and on the go, I think I definitely like these a lot.
Three words come to my mind: dry, fast, spacious. The SR sounds more even than the 4S and has a lot of texture, transient is crazy good and it manages to squeeze out much more detail than the ER-4S, at least to my ears. Very good layering and sounds pretty airy, less congested than the 4S. On some tracks I find myself wishing for a little more bass, but nothing bad overall. I'm not a true audiophile nor an audio professional, but they definitely impressed me on my favorite orchestral works, it just sounds much closer to being true than pretty much every other IEM I've tried. I also noted that vocals sounded less 'in your face' than with the original ER4 series. Lisa Gerrard's voice in Gladiator's OST doesn't sound as involving as with the ER-4S (which is probably my only disappointment). Other than that, I'm very impressed by the sheer resolution of the SR. I play the saxophone and on well recorded saxophone quartets/ensembles, there's absolutely no mix up, everything seems perfectly defined and clear.
Ps. to EtyDave, (as noted in luisdent's review) is it normal for the little ring between the earpiece and the connector to slightly wriggle along with the connector, as if it wasn't 100% securely attached?
I'll admit that I haven't had a chance to watch luisdent's whole review. I'll comment on this after I've had a chance to view it.
