I don't think Etymotics are boring either. They just offer accuracy to listener and let the music determine,and I can always find the great fun of music itself when using Etys.
The development of spaceship is directly and highly influenced by etymotic. And the result is still not as good as etymotic just great for the price. If you like the saturated highs or the elevated mid bass, go ahead. It's still better than most other iems. It's just not as good as etymotc. The proper upgrade from them to er4 series is reference ciem. Maybe you need to get one of those in order to get the idea.Did someone say ER4 lacks dynamics? If so, I agree. I'm sure the Senny 6 series has more dynamics. I mean $20 Moondrop Spaceship has more dynamics than the ER4. ER4 is just not an exciting tune. People call it 'neutral' all they want, but it's just an excuse for boring tuning. There is no way such low dynamic response is 'accurate.'
What bass?

the way you use the term dynamic isn't accurate. why not start there?Did someone say ER4 lacks dynamics? If so, I agree. I'm sure the Senny 6 series has more dynamics.

I have listened to so much electronic music on ER4(XR) and it is very spacious, great separation, and kicks do not get "buried" at all to me. Every criticism you have made about the Ety versus a DD IEM sounds like the symptom of an imperfect fit. Then again, you may just prefer the dynamic driver's 'impact' more so than the Ety's detail. You describe "softness" in the sound which I have experienced when the fit is not right.

People get excited from different things, don't they? While your excitement builds from elevated bass and highs, someone else appreciates uncoloured immaculate linear presentation of mids and highs. Moreover, your vision of "accurate" based on personal preference while Etymotic has a scientific approach to that. Do we need to drag this further?
That bass, which gives you rumbling feeling.
Sure, you need to visit concerts and musical events from time to time, listening to musical instruments separately and with other instruments, defining & memorizing its behaviour and character. Maybe even become a musician yourself.I wouldn't know what accurate sounds like without actually listen to it, the sound signature you get used to is what sound most right to you no matter what. I don't always liked diffuse field sound. I just get used to it.

Sound signature is a preference of an individual, it's not about accuracy. After several years having been reading others people impressions here I think by "accuracy" most of them trying to imply how much "sound body" IEM or headphones can reproduce compared to live performance. They have a reasonable point here without a doubt. But it's only a part of what might be considered "accuracy". There is also a very important quality, "timbre accuracy" representing the character of a musical instrument or a voice - this is what about ER4, its strongest achievement.
There's the Fiio Pure Silver LC which needs to mod slightly for it to fit. But it sounds awesome. If you don't care about cost then there's customsAre there any pure silver cables available for the ER4XR?
