Thanks. Appreciate the input, guys!

Curiousity got the better of me so I cut off the inner tip of a small triple flange. The good news is the ear canal tickling sensation gone. Now the bad news is the filter is now pretty much flush with the tip opening, and I'm slightly concerned they come out and live in my ear canals... Sound wise I think treble range is rolled off a bit though I can't say for sure. Welp now time to try foams before I shell out the money for double flanges.

i find that the ER4s need to have that extra length from the nozzle end to the end of the eartips, and the similar width, that's why any eartips that are shorter and/or wider nozzled than the original triple flange would scstter the treble and make it sound more harsh/brittle on the top end

in terms of treble only, closest thing to ety would be akg q701 by far. not identical, but similar in tone and smoothness with a bump in the lower treble

Just buy double flange. More comfortable and I personally enjoy their sound as much or more than triple flange.

Yeah. After getting nauseous from trying large triple flanges (smalls felt too small), and not being too happy with IEMs sticking out with foams (seal was great though), I pulled the trigger on the tip sampler pack. I'm hoping the double flanges work so I can justify buying the Evo down the road

Can anyone tell me what the difference in ER4SR SKU is between US1336373 and US1357586? I see both skus on Adorama for their used units.

Well I see about 25 different sku from my search, so I don't think they actually differentiate anything! Also used price is about $119, I don't see any reason to buy them. You can get new er4sr for $129 in Adorama.

Just tried the ER4PT in ER4S mode, With my EQ I used on ER4SR to fix 3 peaks it really is super detailed and neutral. It handles a 6db 90Hz low shelf well the sub bass punches hard if it there, has none of decay oddness Dynamic drivers have which I noticed on the ER2XR.

Just when I thought I was out, Ety pulled me back in. Or should I say Adorama pulled me back in.

My first real IEMs? The Ety ER4P in 2004. In the interim I’ve tried almost all Ety models, but not the new lineup. So I went to Adorama and copped the ER4XR. No amps any more, but they may benefit from the ES100 cabled into an LG V20. We’ll see.
Thanks to an HF pal for making my wallet lighter.

Does Adorama have a link to special prices on new ER4SRs? When I go to their website the price is the usual $299. Used/open box is $119.Thanks!

It's great that the price hasn't changed in adorama! Finally, I can buy them in a couple of days (hopefully tomorrow). So just wanted some last grasp comparison before buying it. ER4SR vs ER4XR vs ER2SE.

New member here, just stumbled across this amazing forum while I weigh my options of replacing my beloved ER4Pt's, after finding out that Etymotic doesn't do out of warranty repairs any longer. I've had my ER4s for a decade, and they are truly beloved. The cable has frayed again near the headphone jack.. I'm debating between picking up the new model ER4 XR, or trying to get the cable repaired locally. My worry is that I won't love the ER4 XR as much as I love the ER4Pt, and that I could be in the same boat again several years down the road after the warranty period, if the cable frays again. What do you all suggest? 1) cable repair 2) cable replacement 3) new model ER4 XR ($176 / pretty cheap on Amazon?)

You could get the ER4XR off adorama for $129 https://www.adorama.com/etyer4xr.html?emailprice=t. I can't offer any help as I've only heard the SR and XR. Cable replacement is definitely more solid then cable repair though.

That is quite a deal! Very tempting. Update: Just purchased those.
