I'm really considering upgrading from my ER4P to a pair of customs. I'm currently looking at UE for their 10 and 11s. Which pair should be good for me?

The UE10 are much closer to the er4p than the UE11. There are definitely those that find no substitute for the Ety sound.

I see you have an iQube. I'm using my UE-11 with my iQube and love that combination, though sometimes it can sound a little clinical than musical. But if you're an Ety fan, you're probably okay with that.

As digihead said, the UE-10 is closer to the Ety sound. I have an entry-level Ety, the ER6, and suggest you get the UE-11 precisely because it sounds so different - if you're okay with a deeper bass presence. Otherwise, it's like drinking the same wine the rest of your life.

The UE-11 will introduce you to a whole new world in music. I never imagined low end detail would be rendered so well without being exaggerated.

My Livewires sound a lot more like the Etys, and are a pretty good bargain as far as custom IEMs go.

I've got exactly the setup you would have with the UE11s - iMod, same LOD, iQube, UE11s. It sounds incredible. I haven't listened to the 10s, so can't contrast, but I absolutely love the 11s. I've read all the concerns about over-emphasized bass, but to my ears it sounds just right. With the iMod in the system, you get bass that has all kinds of tone and color - really wonderful.
