haha i never thought about having an "age" associated with my sonic preferences. probably cuz i'm young and still youthful in my ways. but stereotypically, young people like nightclubs, electronically generated music, hiding subs in the boot of their riced up rides, etc, whereas i prefer older music and garishly disregard mainstream music as music at all. so i guess u can call me old fashioned in my musical tastes, hence sonic preferences. but not everything can be pinned down to my age, eg, i'm a student of engineering, which is why i hear technical perfection as euphony.
the age of er-4 has nothing to do with anything however. i didn't even know how old it was when i bought it. in iem's, it's probably true that sound has changed from detailed and neutral to coloured and euphonic over 15 years, because etymotic was the only player in the market back then, but it's not true for headphones in general. so u can't really call er-4 old in that way.
edit: i don't rly know what ur talking about, but just taking a stab
or are u saying i'm old cuz i'm stubborn?
