Would be really nice to see a Massdrop ER-4X at ~$249 with nozzle filter removable (green/red) a la FLC8C. (keep dreaming now)

I have an issue where I listen to very bassy music and it really amplifies the lack of matching below 100hz .... is it possible that all the other IEM's are worse in this aspect? I have moved into a noisy flat and I would really appreciate the extra isolation that an IEM has ....still, my er4 has the best matched channel I've measured in all the IEMs I've got since I bought a coupler. that's why I wonder how it goes for you with other IEMs.
They have this: http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=4988
and this: http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=5548
I don't know if the 100ohm resistor is built in though...
Also, has anyone ever bought and used this: http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=5681
It seems to have an mmcx connector, but I am not too experienced with this stuff.
Should I just get the awwan adapters and order a good mmcx cable? Any suggestions in that case?Thanks for the input ClieOS.
Fiio i1 seems interesting, but I would like to have the mic/control inline close to my mouth along one of earphone segments of the cable so I can take calls. without having to hold anything up to my mouth. Something along the lines of the stock apple earpods...
Any options out there for this? I do not need DAC/Amp or lightning connector (using iphone se).

As much as I love my ER4's I wouldn't take them to the gym. For the gym I would get an IEM with an MMCX cable and get one of those cheap bluetooth cables (mic is built in) on ebay (I use mines with the se215). When I workout, sound isn't really the #1 priority. Also the microphonics would kill it for me. as well as the fear of getting ice-picked in the ear, and potentially breaking the cable. For me it's not worth the risk especially the fact that people tend to get rough with gym iems,Ok so I am new to this thread: Bought ER4P a couple months ago and completely fell in love they do everything I ever wished an IEM could accomplish. Then I bought a P to S adapter and was blown away.
But I need more: I use them to workout and need and inline mic/3 button controller for use with my iphone.
Any recommentdations? Is lunashops a good place to buy cables?

I am aware of the awwan mmcx converters, but I am huge fan of minimalism and having the smallest possible iem's...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Seeing as you are quite the industrious ER4 fan, is this something you could custom make?
Thanks for the info btw I really appreciate it.

All good points and I agree. I still feel the need to bring them to the gym. Personally I can't stand mediocre sound quality even if I am simply working out. Another thing that bothers me is having to use several sets of iem's. I have se215's and absolutely hate them.As much as I love my ER4's I wouldn't take them to the gym.

This is more along the lines of what I am imagining...If I were in your shoe, I'll get myself a q-JAYS replacement cable that is iOS compatible (around $60), cut off the original SSMCX connector and soldering in an ER4 2pins connector with the required 100ohm resistors inside. Cutting off the earpiece on an Apple Earpods and replacing them with ER4 2Pins connector + 100ohm resistors will also get the job done - it is much cheaper this way but earpod's cable is not nearly as nice as q-JAY cable. Would love to help you with this, but I am busy with the current ER4 cable build and probably won't have time for extra project till some time October.
