Pros

Great noise isolation and great comfort. Comes with s adapter which makes the earphone produce different sound.

The sound quality is astonishing. Clean, balanced, and true across the spectrum. There's no fatigue and nothing in the headphones that calls attention to itself.

Head-fi er4xr review. I am extremely happy with my purchase despite my initial reluctance of trusting reviews.

Non-booming bass with a shimmering high end. Mids are smooth and detailed. Well produced music make these really shine.



Cons

The sound is extremely shallow in my o2+odac. They have a 2yr-warranty and you pay for shipping but this is not the issue. After 2 yrs, they would malfunction. Not repairable by em. Just cheap plastic. You rip people off by selling this cheap garbage....  Read More

I've tried all four types that come with the etymotics, and i have to say they're all awful in their own way.


The sound was harsh and painful with the etymotic tips, and with the westone tips i don't even have to use the eq.

Packaging/appearance


Because i was used to the sound of the er4s, i cringed when i first heard the er4xr.

Competitiveness


I own hd600, sr325i, focal elears and hifiman 400is for reference headphones.


The er4 series is the one closest to my hd600, which i consider the reference standard (even though my elears were 2x the price).


Updated: this is a 4-star + product when paired with westone tips.


I have yet to own a pair of etymotics that i haven't liked.
