Hello All, Can anybody tell me what the differences in SQ between the Etymotic ER4P and the MC5 are?

Hey Head fi!   Just started using this site and lovin the community. I'm pretty new to the IEM scene as I've only owned the shure SE210 which to me sounded great, but as many people on the site say there is much more out there to be heard. I've been planning on buying the SE425s since...

Updated here: http://rinchoi.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-deep-do-you-insert-you-er4.html   Etymotic Research approved the article.   This means that most of the IEM manufacturers have been hiding the most vital part of the equation in using IEMs- proper coupling of the earphone and the...

After comparing IEM's to death, I decided to order a set of Etymotic ER-4P's. (I had my heart set on either SE530's or Westone UM3X's but after dropping almost $500 on a new DAP, I was reluctant to spend another 3 to 4 hundred.)   My concern is the comfort. I returned a set of UE TF10's cuz...

As I write this, I am listening to my new Etymotic ER-4P's. I am using my new iPod Touch 64 GB as the source. (3rd Generation) There is surely a lot happening in my head, and I am intently trying to remain unbiased and very objective about the sound. I am listening to McCoy Tyner's "Real McCoy"...

So, I managed to put my NE-7M through both the washer and dryer. They did not survive the trip. That puts me in the market for a new set of IEMs, and I'm in need of some recommendations. Currently, my source is an un-amped 2G iPod nano. I listen to a wide variety of music. I'm going to be using...

Again, this is a question. 'Cause I'm a novice. Is there any other way (except for cutting one flange) to alter the sound? Actually I know about something (wait for me to get my camera back and I'll post a "How to absolutely get rid of microphonics" and "How to achieve more isolation with...

Here's the story: my etymotic er4p have been good to me for the past 2 years but one channel is screwed up. I love the etymotic sound but the apuresound replacement cable is simply too expensive. I want to know if there are any $300 iems that retain the ety sound as i'm not too fussed on having...

I would like to know what you guys think which one sounds better either with a amp or un-amped because I will be using it in both situations So it comes down to this ER4P or SE310 both cost the same so price isn't a concern And even if they were a difference in price still not a concern they...

I've got the Etys, looking for a full size can now... Which one of the above 2 is closer in sound signature?   Thanks in advance for replies!!

  I would like to answer some questions not covered in my review. Please, ask.   What are RE-Zero and RE0   Both belong to those rare dynamic earphones able to compete with armature IEMs in speed, clarity and resolution. Both are on a lean side of neutrality, I would like to have more...

I am new to IEM's and looking for my first set of High end set. As the title says I have been considering both the Etymotic ER-4P and the IE8. Mostly these will be used with the following setup: Ipod Classic - ibasso d10 - IEM or: Laptop (FLAC) - Ibasso d10 - IEM (for more portable...

  First I’d like to thank everyone on here for all the knowledge.  I will say that this is an amazingly civil and informed group and has already helped me immensely.  A few months ago I was looking to get a good pair of IEMs and decided on a pair of ER4ps. I will say they are wonderful but...

What is the best IEM for picking up very small details that most IEMs cannot pick up?  

Well, my Shure 210s are slowly (quickly) falling apart on me so I'm looking into investing into a new set of earbuds. So far my recommendations from others have been: Ortofon EQ-7 Sennheiser IE8s Klipsch Image X10s Etymotic ER4Ps UE Triple Fi Pros Audio Technika CK10s Monster...

Ok picked one of these today so...... 1. I'm glad the buttons are back, the 4th gen was a bit to minimalist (though it sounded pretty good) 2. Sound quality- best since original (and i have one from each gen)   shuffle 1st gen=shuffle 4th gen >shuffle 3rd gen > shuffle 2nd gen One guys...

Hey all, first post.  I've always turned to head-fi for awesome community knowledge..   My Ety ER-4P that I was using for on stage and also for tracking broke..  actually, I've already have 2 of them fail on me in past 2 years, always the Y section of the cable breaking.  So I want to get...

everything about these IEM's are great, except for the cable friction noise... is it possible to get these recabled with a less scratchy cable?   also, how do i proceed with a warranty claim on my pair of ER-4P's ? etymotic has not responded to my emails... I am in the UK, by the way

bought it in 2002 as far as i know the warranty is only for 2 years after purchase what can we do if its broken after warranty time i tried searching about it on their website but i couldn't find i heard etymotic research sometimes refuse to repair and just mail it back to users i was...

These are NOT the ER-6i's they are the ER-6's (which are discontinued) which I've been told have a more accurate response than the ER-6i's (Similar to the ER-4s's to the ER-4p's) They were buried in the bottom of my camera's hardcase (it's a big damn hardcase) I lost them 18 months ago, they are...

I am currently looking for a ER4P to S impedance adapter, I saw the official ER4P-24 on the Etymotic website. It looks tad bit pricy especially after shipping. I am wondering would other custom made 75 Ohm adapters specifically made to convert ER4P to ER4S will sound the same as the ER4P-24...

My current headphones / IEM are: -AKG K701 -Etymotic ER-4P With this being said, I very much appreciate the detailed / balanced sound of these two products. While many people feel the bass may be light, the presentation works for me, especially when listening to bands such as The Grateful...

Hi guys,   I am considering an amp (with LOD) for my portable setup. I have an iPod Touch 3g and a pair of Ety ER4P's. How much will my setup benefit from an amp? My second question is which amp fit my needs best: the iBasso T3, T4 or the Meier-Audio Headsix? These are my only options...

Hi Folks.   I am currently really enjoying my new ER4S's through Gary's PA2V2. Plenty of power for the Ety's. I also have a Nuforce icon mobile but have found it not powerful enough to drive them well.   I am considering an upgrade of amp and wanting suggestions as to what would be a...

Hey again guys last week I got a pair of Atrio M5s and a pair of RE0s. Unfortunately the Atrios were defective and I had to send them back. From the store I bought it from gave me a store credit for a future purchase of headphones. I am considering getting the ER-4Ps but I am wondering if it...
