I’ve had my ER4SR since September and I’m still on the original filters.
<points gun> Give me your filters, friend, and no one needs to get hurt.
I’ve had my ER4SR since September and I’m still on the original filters.
I often put them back in with super glue. Even washing and drying them to make them look fresher even though this is not recommended by Etymotic, but this is more economical than buying them again.My opinion about insertion depth and seal:
My ear canals take a pretty tight turn (to upwards) and if I insert any earphones too deep, I cannot hear highs or mids, because the tip of the plug hits that steep bend/curve. I may hear at least something, if I open my mouth or move my jaw but only on one side. So to me, it is more important to get tight seal. So those "marshmellowy-plugs" (sorry my poor English), are a godsend. Even those shorter silicon buds go too deep eventually. I mean they just travel deeper and deeper when I move my jaw and after a while I loose the sound.
Now, as a new Etymotic owner, I'm asking where to get those "foam-plugs"? I get so good seal, i already broke one by just pulling it out of my ear. Only thing what came out from my ear was a gray, plastic tube. I don't remember how did I get that foam out of my ear, though. It was my second or third time using them.
I guess that luckyI’ve had my ER4SR since September and I’m still on the original filters.
The standard advice is to replace the filter and see if that helps. Have you tried that?I bought er4sr from Adoroma two years ago but barely used, almost only on airplane. Totally headtime shuould be less than 50 hours. Recently I just found the left driver was totally died! I try to contact with Etymotic custom service and no way to get someone take my phone. I sent an email and no reply.
Is there anyone give me some suggestion what I can do?
Thanks so much!
That's unfortunate. You could try swapping left and right on the cable to rule out a cable problem.I bought er4sr from Adoroma two years ago but barely used, almost only on airplane.

Yes, I tried a different cable and not the problem of the cable.That's unfortunate. You could try swapping left and right on the cable to rule out a cable problem.
Sorry, I have no idea what's the filter. Could you explain more? ThanksThe standard advice is to replace the filter and see if that helps. Have you tried that?
Sure, you've got these in each of your driver outlets.Sorry, I have no idea what's the filter. Could you explain more? Thanks

They are for blocking ingress of dirt and for tuning frequency response. Your earphones should have come with spares and a tool for removing them. Try to avoid puncturing the inner fabric of the filters so you can reuse them if you want.
I don't think there is any tws with small nozzle avaiable out there (considering ety's triple flange is small nozzle) cmiiw unless you will use some 3rd party triple flangeI have a pair of old- style ER4P I love, and use with an adaptor to add the resistance to make it the ER4S, iirc. I love these, love the light weight, neutral balance and especially the fit with triple flange or comply.
I apparently have small ear canals and have been unable to comfortably use iems that use the wider, standard tube, like Shures. Many are just painful, and can’t go in as deeply as the Etys.
My question- can someone recommend a wireless iem that can ideally use triple flange to fit my small ear canals?
Thank you in advance!
