Stupid question about ety er4

[IZCool]

I have seen pics on the web of er4 earphones with a right-angle at the ear and also a couple of pics of ones with 135degree angle (eg on the etymotic website). I know that the ER4P and 4S have different cables, but do they both have a 135degree angle at the end? just interested...

The right-angled cables are aftermarket Fixup cables.

Thanks for responding, Joe!

Actually, I saw this pic in a Fringe article linked to from this forum I think. Here's the link: http://www.soundstage.com/fringe/fringe200008.htm
Ignore the custom moulds, but look at the connector - doesn't look like the fixup cable to me......??

Well that looks like 180deg to me (pointing straight out). You're right, neither the ety stock cable nor the fixup ones do that

If you look closely, you'll se it is angled. The light color makes it look straight.

It is a cable we made a few years back. It is a standard ER-4S configuration exceept for fleshtone colored insulation from the pod to the 45 degree connectors.
