The OPs glasses are the same style and I bet from the same assembly source) as the glasses the USN issued me to wear when using a gas mask or fire fighting gear! I haven't seen them for private sale before and I wish I had seen this early in COVID as it would have made ear loop masks a lot more...

Are there any technical reviews? The shape wasn't a problem with me on the ER4S but rather the plastic was a fatigue point that eventually would fail where it was narrow. I started this thread as with the death of my last pair, the end of the ER4S line, and Etymotic no longer being a Elk Grove...

I don't know about the built in but with a Android phone that old you should be able to root it and use Viper4Android or JamesDSP to do system wide EQ that will apply to all audio. I'm using LG phones because they include system wide EQ controlls. You should be able to pick one up that is newer...

Yes, that was the one shared with me via PM. However, the isolation comparison above plus a bit of fear about how big a change they could be has led me to cancel that order and go with trying the Moondrop Variations as I do want to try something new since several of the things that kept me with...

Well as good as the deal on the W80s are your rankings are leading me to drop trying them as noise isolation is important to me. Would you say the Variations with foam tips came close to the ER4SR with foam tips or was it a wide seperation? It looks like I'm going to keep the ER3SR's to fill...

Thank you for your advice. I think I'll give the Variations a spot on my trial list near the top of the audition list. Would you be willing to rank the sound isolation (no music playing) of the following IEMs? Etymotic ER4SR - Foamie Etymotic ER4SR - Triples Moondrop Variations - Defaults...

I was offered the Westone W80's for $400 but your description of the Moondrop Variations is making me reconsider. I'd really like to get a homerun again and find a pair of IEMs that are just good for me and given how well I've lived with the ER4S it seems I should chart my course towards the...

What direction would you say the W80 is from the ER4S? As I mentioned I'm not opposed to re-evaluating what I listen with as 20 years ago the field for IEMs was clearly in balanced armature's favor. I do like deep insertion and a nice seal from the environment as sometimes the ER4S doubled...

Thanks, I came back to ask as I figured things had changed and with the sale of Etymotic (I used to live near them and bought my second ER-4S and first bluetooth headset from them when back on leave from my first deployment) I wanted to see what I may be missing. I've haven't used any IEMs...

So my third set of ER4S has died after 9 years of good service due to plastic fatigue breaking the canal off, again. I'm really happy with the Ety sound from the ER-4S (the P model was good but I liked the S better), enough that I've been using them for over 20 years. But I'm not wedded to them...

What is the difference between the Livewires/super freqs? Are they just two different brands of the same concept? I've tried searching for a Ety4s vs Livewire but I could not find a direct comparison of them.

You could get custom ear plugs. All you need then is a hot wire if your making your own. I also remember when I got my first Etys that if you sent them a mold of your ear canal they would make a custom tip for you.

Well, I've managed successfully resist the bug for over 4 years but today the left ear tube on my Ety-4s snapped the little plastic tube that goes from the driver unit through the earplug. I've need to get a new set of headphones for traveling and working out and looking around the forums...

So did you get some? How do they sound?

Would any of you happen to know where I could get replacement ear pads for my Byerdynamic DT 770Pro? I've checked the forum sponsors and none of them carry them but I remember back when I first got them that one could purchase replacement pads. Perhaps one of you remembers this also and...
