Nice Review! Thought I'd share my impressions after just picking up a set. I've been looking for IEMs for a while. Started with the Shure SE215 and didn't love it. (peaky high end drove me nuts) Then moved to TripleFi 10. Liked the TripleFi and sent them out to be reshelled into customs; they never sounded the same again. Bought a second pair and liked the sound again, but remembered why I sent the first set out to be reshelled.... Couldn't get them to stay in my ears.... Tried the new HiFiMan RE-400 and liked it, great headphone, but not enough texture and detail in the high end. (Great buy at $100 though) ER4S finally did it for me. They seem to have no sound of there own, I just hear the music in all it's detail. Now I have to find an appropriate amp, which is turning into it's own saga.
Quick question: I've noticed quite a lot of difference between tips. Right now I'm really liking the Shure foam ones I had lying around. My question is regarding the custom tips that Etymotic offers. Does anyone have an impression of the sound? Did it change much? I'd hate for drop another $100-$150 and not like the sound.
