any tube amp users here with the ER4?
A month ago, after getting caught up - again - in the madness here, I decided to get an Arrow 4G, and found a local audiologist who fitted me with custom Sensaphonic molds.
W O W....
With the bass setting at 2, I am extremely happy. I've never been a big bass guy to start with, and I now have the perfect - for me - amount of bottom, while not losing the great midrange and highs of the ETY's.
I had a similar experience with my ER-4S. I've had the Arrow 4G for a month or so and hadn't gotten around to trying it with the ER-4S, but when I did....BANG! Not only sweet punchy bass, but that clear cool Ety sound just blew me away. Lovin the ER-4 again.
Actually Rin goes with the 2011 study, kind of implying a small delay would be a good way to eliminate it.
Personally I think extension is missing on a lot of headphones/IEMs, both Rin and I actually do think the ER4S is missing bass (extension/subass), we only like to bump frequencies below 100hz though.
Thanks for clarifying. I suppose a delay like this could be factored into an iem design? Otherwise does he concede that a mild bass boost is necessary? It seems like he says people can get over the effect with practice.
I have been searching on eBay as well. But I am only able to find American sellers of the black foam tips. No European sellers....
