Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I'm repeating questions, but I feel this is at least quite specific!
I have had my ER-4P's for at least two years now. Concerning previous earphones at £40 or less, they are absolutely wonderful. However, I think I would like something better.
Currently, I use them mainly on my mp3 player, which is a Sony model (NWZ something or other), with usually high quality files.
I have found Etymotics perhaps a little flatter than I would hope for, but the clarity of sound has been greatly appreciated.
My wonder is this: how different would my listening experience be if I bought a portable amplifier suitable for daily travel, walking from place to place?
Is it a case of sticking with what I have and getting an amp or buying a better set of IEMs? I am overwhelmed by the number of sets out there, with no experience (and likely to remain that way with the lack of suppliers where I am) of other monitors.
Can any of you advise me on this matter? The last time I'd looked, Shure SE535s were the pinnacle of universal fits in terms of reviews and price. I see much better information from here, but I've found it hard to find comparative information on ER-4Ps and other monitors.
Amplified ER-4Ps or new monitors?
Thank you,
Koorosh
