I really do love the sound of my Etymotic hf2s, but I'm conflicted. I've had issues with the cord 3 times (on the original hf2 which had a straight plug, and twice on the 45-degree plug). Maybe it's something with me, but it's the third time I've had an issue with them getting frayed right near the connector, and since I'm out of warranty now it's a tough decision.
I had similar issues with the ER4s I used to have, so I'm seriously considering (and probably leaning toward) switching away from Etymotic, unfortunately.
But yeah, the sound of these are really great. Maybe they didn't quite measure up to the ER4 on sound quality but from my memory of a few years back, the bass on the hf-series is a touch stronger, and the microphonics were drastically improved.
Who knows, maybe I'll be right back using them in a few months though.
