I ordered a Ety P and a P to S cable a few days ago. My Ety arrived...but the adapter cable is backordered at HR :


At first I had alot of trouble with my Etys...but after replacing the filter in one and alot of futtsing I got it to work. AND BOY! DID IT WORK.


They sound amazing. They are better than my Grado SR80s in evering catagory except for ROCK.

A small amount of rubbing alchohol on the silicone tips makes it alot easier to get a good seal. I have a small pump spray bottle that I carry in my bag and use it everytime. One bad thing about the Ety's IMO is that you soon realize how much you are missing with most other HP's. Few I have listened to come close.

Enjoy

The Ety's Rock with Rock (in my opinion).

Congrats Brother !!!! Another one for the fold.

Support Headroom!

congrats on your purchase! I'm a sennheiser guy myself, but the etyies were great!

If you're using the silicone tips, they will soften over time. I wash mine in a little dish detergent at the end of the day in addition to keeping them white, I believe it also helped to soften them up. After a week, week and a half, they'll be second nature to you and you won't feel them at all. Unless you get up and start walking that is...

Enjoy ! And welcome to Team Etymotic !

I listen to rock/heavy metal and I am very close to buying the Ety's 4P with the converter cable. Is this worth the purchase or are there headphones better for this type of music. I really want something that is somewhat isolated because I am using KSC-35s right now and although they sound great, when I listen to music on the subway (which is usually when i only listen to music) the noise of the train really ruins my listening experience.

At the risk of hijacking this thread, I can recommend the 4P's to you. They can handle anything you choose to throw at them. They have been my subway salvation

What source are you using ? The addtion of the 4P>4S adapter cable may necessitate an amp.

I am using a 10GB iPod. I was thinking of also getting one of the Super Mini Amps from fixup.net too.

I sold mine two weeks ago, and I am beginning to regret it. Seriously don't know what I was thinking.

Hopefully the HD600's + OBH-11SE that are on the way will make me a little happier.
