    Beyerdynamic DT 250 80ohm

    80 Ohm version has elevated mid-bass region, 250 Ohm is more linear.

    Beyerdynamic DT 250 80ohm

    @Slush give a try to German Maestro 8.35D and see whether it fits your needs. Nearly indestructible construction. There is another one I would recommend to check, Audio-Technica ATH-Sx1a.

    If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...

    Looks like the days of my ER4S pair are numbered. Both barrels are showing tiny cracks on the nozzle area. Might be due to age or the infamous Knowles filter issue. Any idea that might help to save Ety? Superglue?

    Question for fellow ER4S (not P, SR, XR) users. Do you hear sub-bass rumble at the start of this video which lasts about 10 seconds? Neurotech - When the Night Falls

    @EtyDave I suppose, acoustic dampers are matched in Etymotic iems as well? It seems Knowles dampers come in different sizes. Do you know the size for ER4?

    Mine is old gen with plastic body. Thank you for advice. I don't really understand this part. Would you be so kind to explain?

    Maybe it's placebo but somehow plastic green filters paired with ER4 result in different sound vs Knowles acoustic dampers. Does anyone know where genuine Knowles dampers can be purchased?

    And the reason for that is? Also, according to service manual it's not a good idea to open up 700's until absolutely necessary: "More than 30 minutes's exposure of a high polymer diaphragm used in the SE-700 will affect its property, resulting in impairing the tone quality. Also never touch...

    Yep, it really was an old filter that messed up balance and projection of sounds.

    Experiencing weird behavior with my ER4. Feels like balance has shifted slightly towards the right side, and sometimes most sounds come from this earpiece. Everything was "centered" before. Does anyone have a clue what that might be? New eartips didn't work. I haven't tried to change the...

    Does anybody have a clue what's going with Etymotic ER38-15SM standard frosted eartips? Is it out of production?

    AKG K340 Electrostatic Phones

    Considering all the tweaks you did with it I would say K340 is a very poorly designed headphones :relaxed: I certainly would not tinker with headphones without measurement gear and necessary knowledge for all the stuff, but that's just me. Seems like it works for you just fine. In my opinion...

    Orthodynamic Roundup

    Final Audio D8000 Depends on what model you're comparing to. Although I'd heard PM-3 a long time ago, I would say it has a "cleaner" sound overall, free of that common "haze" among vintage. PM-1 is a whole different beast, much better than aforementioned.

    Optimize? What are you hoping to optimize there after AKGs engineers without proper knowledge in the field?

    Nah, just a normal routine for an Ety fan. After all, tips do get softer with time. Now the real challenge comes with a fresh out-of-the box frosted triple flanges. Putting them dry can make cry even a grown-up man:sweat_smile:
