Hi all,
I've been lurking around here for quite some time but this is my first post.
I was lucky enough to have as my first hi-fi phone the ER-4P about 3 years ago. I absolutely love them ! I do not find them lacking in bass (contrary to the common belief here) and I really like their incredible detail: the layered presentation and the incredible reproduction of instrument timbre ( which is something I am very sensitive to). So sonically, they have been bliss for me. However ...
... I do find them extremely uncomfortable ! They need a bold move to be inserted deep enough for their sonic qualities to shine and even then they stick too much out of the ear.
Since it is impossible to try out other canalphones here ( I live in Greece) I would like to ask if there is another IEM that is sonically close to the 'Ety sound' but more comfortable (should I decide to replace them).
My music is mostly acoustical (classical, jazz) and as I stated above, lifelike and accurate timbre reproduction contributes very much to my enjoyment of it. I am using the phones unamped straight from an ipod. Budget is around 400 euros.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
