Noooooooo! Broken ER4's

[troublemaker]

Gutted.

While performing my first ever filter change (which did make them sound better - more midrange detail and warmth!) i obviously "over tapped" into one of my Er4 transducers.

the end split off, in the place i have seen before - half of the end slightly larger cylinder where the filter fits.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - less

and more

i have temporarily put a 3 flange earpiece back on awaiting a solution. But i feel like crying! The Etys have become firm friends over the last 2 years!

Feelin' your pain. 2 years? Well, perhaps the folks at Ety will have pity on you even though the warranty is gone. Worth a try.

Well, good timing. Almost Christmas, and you should definitely add an IEM upgrade to your Christmas list.

Well, if Etymotics can not replace your ER4, then you definitely should look into an IEM upgrade.

Aah,

ok i hadnt heard it called that previously.

I like the look of the westones though

Any advice on good upgrades?
