i'm quite disatisfied with them. i find them muddy. itried to like em, ireally gave them a chance. but compared to er4p, they are just not cutting it,

here are my options.
*return it and take the hit of 15% restocking fee
*shell out 60 more bucks or so and get another pair of er4p
*use them for a week then decide


any help woul be much apreciated.

Given your situation, I'd go with choices (1) & (2). No point in keeping something that you know you don't like. The return money can be used to fund something more towards your preference.

Cheers!

Before you do, see if you can sell them used for a bit more. It could be possible, who knows?

Oh wait, how is (2) related to (1)?

 

[lutwey]

1 and 2 is related since im both choices i have to send them back at earphone solution.

however if i decide to buy an earphone with the same or higher value they wont charge for that 15% restocking fee.

decisions............. decicions:O

I'd go for choice 1 and just pretend the 15% was a "trial" fee.

 

[lutwey]

thats 15 bucks though!!!
but i see ur point.

 

[unclejr]

That's what I was wondering precisely. If they cancel the restocking fee, you might want to sink that money into the ER-4p. Or try something else of equal or more value.

listen to them some more. i have some and didn't like their recessed/muddy qualities. now, i like them a lot. i have "adjusted" to their sound.

 

[lutwey]

More burning in your brain than the armatures. In terms of different sound signatures, I think that first impressions matter. If you're already finding faults with the sound, I wouldn't just accept it. I think it just so happens that you like a different sound.
