Jud Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I happen to like IEMs, and Etymotic's top line offerings are very accurate without breaking the budget. But not many other folks are as into having those things stuck in their ears as I am, apparently. 😄 jventer 1 One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

I love in-ear IEMs. Onkyo E700M was the steal of the century at 99 bucks at that level of airy clarity with the bass, but it's discontinued. ER4-SR would be the equivalent these days. ER4-XR if you want more bass. MSRP $299.95. Or they’re coming out with a new fancy IEM with multiple drivers for $499.95, for which pre-orders are available.

I did have the ER4SR but after 18 months one of the drivers came apart. I do wear them exercising so heavy wear. I picked up a pair of the ER2XRs and they sound pretty good for $100. Once in a while Amazon has these at a steal, and I would absolutely consider under $200 a steal. Maybe getting ready for the new top of the line to hit the market.

Jud Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 The Etymotics (the ER4P and ER4SR) are known for having reasonably flat audible response (not the same as measured flat, as their response curves will show you, but still pretty accurate even from that standpoint). kennyb123 1 One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.
