I know this has been ask before, but looking at threads like these I never came to any conclusion. I want my canal phone to be close to $150. I listen to mostly classical musical and just want to know, in my price range, which iem would be the best for sound quality and comfort. I will be using these in noisy locations too, so would like good isolation also. I have considered the Shure se210, but many people seem to think they are overpriced. I here Ety is good.

Anyone have recommendations?

I ended up going with the Ety er6i because of cost but I've looked at that price range for classical and the er4p (or s if its amped) seems the most likely choice. Amazon had them for 150 yesterday. I think if you took votes er4p would win for classical in that price range.

 

[jonathanjong]

ER-4Ps probably right.

 

[Gregory Stein]

Yea, I have heard the ER-4P is good. I rather not carry the amp of the ER-4ps, though. Is the sound quality that much better with the amp? How much does a amp cost? Oh, and how does this earphone compare with the Shure SE210?

You should listen to the bass and warmth of the sound of a good classical recording with the Atrio M5/M8. They also deliver a very good separation and sondstage.

So my vote goes for the Atrio with its dynamic driver.

You could probably get them for $150+-.

I'd also suggest the ER-4P in that price range. No amp required.

 

[jonathanjong]

^ Yep. No amp required. Sure, it helps, but it's not neccesary.

Why not get the new Ue super.Fi 5?

 

[Gregory Stein]

I would get the pro model, but it is above my price limit, is it good for classical? I am not sure, but wouldn't the eb model deliver too much bass for classical? I rather the sound be neutral. How does the HF5 compare to the ER-4P?

 

[emelius]

the Sennheiser IE7 are on sale again at ecost.com for $172.99 shipped if you can stretch your budget a bit?...

soozie seems to think they sound better than the IE8...

at that price you could recoup your losses (plenty of head-fiers abroad that would consider paying that for used IE7)...

just a thought...

[Gregory Stein]

Ok, I am willing to stretch my budget a bit, how does $200 sound? What are the best earphones (for classical) for that price? Is the Ety ER-4P still tops, or is it beaten?

 

[Gregory Stein]

Anyone out their willing to help a confused music lover?

 

[Bisco82]

for accuracy, the ER6i or the ER4P is your best bet. If you prefer something warmer, look at the UE SUPER FI 5 Pro, or the Q Jays.

 

[Gregory Stein]

I saw the Klipsch IMAGE for $200. How does it compare to the ER4P? What other headphones $150-200 compare?
