I got my ety 4p a few days ago, sound is pretty good, not as good as the grado 225 but relatively close, however factor in the ultra portability and the isolation benefits and you got a good deal (i got mine from ebay, idealsound guy).
My questions are the following:
I seem to prefer the foamies, due to ease of inseration, no noticable sound difference (altho i admit im still a audiophile newbie), and overall comfort. However the one problem I do encounter is that on the foames there is that tube that sticks out on the front and back of the foames. This tube when insterted deep into my ear pokes what i guess is my ear drum.
1) Once insereted as far in as comfort allows, about 20% of the black part of the ety's stick out of my ear, when using the triflange almost no part of the black area is outside of my ear, only the red and blue cable connection sticks out. Is this descrepency normal?
2) Am I inserting the tri flange in too far? they are comfrotable once put int, but any pull on the cable hurts my ear canal, not the case with the foamies.
Thanks for any advice, btw yes I did run a search on the issue but could nto find any anserws. Thanks again.
