I wanted to add a couple of tips earlier.
 
The imbalance (at least for me) comes from pressure in the canal. I alleviate this 2 ways:
 
1) push it deeper in. I think there's a point where the inner seal is broken somewhat, which allows the mids and treble to come through without interference. I also insert with a twisting motion, so you essentially break the seal every time you move it in deeper.
 
2) I like the Atrio foams and the Shure Olives, since they don't require the vacuum to seal off the ear canal like the silicones do. However, I find them to be less comfy than the triple flanges, believe it or not. They fill up my ear canal more, creating pressure on the walls of my ears at the proper insertion depth.
 
Overall, push it in deeper, and twist while you do.
 
This advice is also applicable to one's love life.

 
A lot of aspects from the er4s can be compared to one's love life

There are people who build them - ever hear of MisterX on this forum?
 
Seriously, the Ety's are absolutely great with the Mini3 and I've tried them on every amp I have.

For those of you that are interested in the "genuine" Etymotic P-S adapter but don't want to shell out $50 i've got news for you.
 
B&H Photo/Video has it for $14 shipping included.

Oops. I think I bought the last one. It now says discontinued.

Grr, I signed up to ask about this. I need one of these adapters to turn my ER-4P into the ER-4S.

Guess I'll get one from ebay, anyone bought theirs from ebay for around the same price?

In case anyone is interested, I currently use the ER-4P but equalized into the ER-4S on my PC. With a link I found on Rin Choi's blog by a poster named Carrot in the comments.

If anyone is interested, that's the link. I still want the adapter though.

Sorry for the double post.

Yes, I bought one from ebay that claimed to be genuine Etymotic.  I have no reason to doubt that, but I only got it out of convenience.  Two 75 ohm resistors in the plug seems pretty easy to do - just have too many other projects going at the same time.
 
To tell the truth, there's either very little difference, IMHO, or I may even prefer the ER-4PT without it.  It certainly makes a difference on the volume control of your amp, but if you have the gain adjusted close to unity, the ER-4PT without the adapter will have no issues.

Mr audionewbi has turned 11 today?  Happy Birthday! I have to say, though, that at your age I didn't have access to such expensive gear. Today's children are sooo spoilt...

I used to have the problem with channel imbalancing.  Vocals would favor my right side.  I was going to return the ER-4s.  I switched the earphones and vocals would still favored the right side. I was a little worry about my hearing so  I thought about seeing an audiologist to check out my ears.  From an earlier posting, I finally manage to figure that it has everything to do with how you insert the earphones.  Now I love my ER-4s.  I am in for 3 pairs of the red filters.

I'm in love with the HF5's treble. It's so close to perfect.
 
I think I've found the combo for my perfect phone:
 
Throw in the GR07's bass, ASG-2's mids, and the HF5's treble. Add in the 1Plus2's soundstage, the PF VIII's ambience, and the Flat-4's forward soundstage projection. And that would be it!
