I cant for the life for me get a good fit with any of the tips, shures neither. For me the design is a pain. I cant relax with it. Plus i want to enjoy my music not dissect it for every single sound. Im giving up on etymotic iems for now. Nothing wrong with the er4sr its just not for me. On to earsonics! If anyones interested my er4sr it is now for sale on the classifieds.

I had the same problem. Luckily the foam compressions saved the day

Maybe I am crazy but I actually like the fit ( using tripple flanges cut to bi flanges) over shallow inserted IEM. They block out a lot more sound and you don't here your foot steps/chewing as much.

Dead right! That occlusion effect can be nasty with shallower-insertion IEMs.

to me it's always horrible on all IEMs. I've tried pretty much anything, custom(going very deep or not), swallow insertion, deep insertion, firmly touching the jaw bone or not, it's always very bad. only foam or ear buds seem to alleviate the noise from foot steps. I start thinking that I have in fact no problem at all and just listen to music too quietly. 
on the bright side, as long as I walk following the tempo of the music, I get mad bass

True but to me their sound is faithful but lifeless, boring, and not a hint of musicality. I guess neutral iems arent for me.

Is it possible to tell from his picture whether or not these are er4p or er4s?

Looks like the pic quality is so poor theres no finding out from it.

I can zoom in. What would be the giveaway?
Is there any way to tell if these are er4s vs er4p from these photos?

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present you my review on the ER•4SR?

PS: If you can see bricks, steps and other artefacts in the very dark sections of my photos that are definitely not on the original files - congratulations, you have just discovered what online photo compression looks like.

It should be written on Y-Split.

Yeah theres still no way to know unless you have a better pic of the splitter

I don't see the PtoS converter cable but do see the modern cable so it is likely an S.

What do you mean with modern cable? This cable is using every newer production of each model, including B. The only way to identify is checking y spit. Like this (no need to break it!):

You mean the braided cable? It's a cable model common to all the late ER-4S & ER-4P(T) series. Doesn't tell much imho.
 
@Happytalk these three pictures are insufficient evidence, so either you ask the seller to send you more photos via PM (like on eBay), or you can just trust the guy. Your call.

 

[Happytalk]

Thanks guys. It's the er4p. Not S. Figured it out! The indication is on the y splitter.
