Mine have as well.

Got mine yesterday. I really enjoy listening to them this time around (had them before and sold them). I think last time I got them I had different expectations.
I have been listening to the new Elbow CD (the seldom seen kid) which is in my opinion one of the best recorded/mixed/mastered cd I have heard recently.

Yeah - I like the HD mode better, I just add a bit of low end in foobar 2k EQ.

Mine arrived today. At $20 they were a steal. Using them right now with my Ipod and Voyager amp. They sound very good. I set my Ipod to Flat EQ and then set the IEMs to Bass boost. Without these settings they tended to distort at higher volumes.

My Zune 30 can't come close to driving these. Luckily I've got a Xenos OHA sitting around gathering dust. Highs are better than my UM2/56 combo. These are very nice, actually. I'll have to try the podectomy.

My iPod Classic can drive them but they sound slightly anemic at a comfortable listening volume compared to my Headsix.

acidtrip is right. These are a steal for $20. They compare very favorably to both my UE SF5pro and ER-4S.

I should have bought more than one pair

God, I just found it and had to skip directly from page one to page 15 once I saw how much they were on amazon, better to end my misery quickly than drag it out over 15 pages...

Etymotic Research, Inc. - ER•4 Accessories



I have tried the ER4-14F's - they don't fit. I use them on my FS1's.

According to a previous thread the ER6i tips fit the IM716 (ER6i-14F). You can get them from iDealSound (ebay express storefront) for $13 shipped.

I personally tried the Westone Comply foam tips (long) - they work very well. Got mine from ebay express seller Freq City Sound for $12.75 shipped.

I might end up spending more on tips then I did on the phones...
