Etymotic ER-4P

[Rgee]

Purchased a pair of these for my iTouch to replace a lost pair of Shure E3Cs and the sound is nice and clear. But has anyone with these found them to transmit a lot of noise through the cable? Even just turning your head you can hear the rustling and they don't seem to seal as good as the Shure's. Thinking about ditching them for a pair of Shure SE310s.

[PJ S]

Yes, they are quite microphonic.

[ruggles]

Yes they are very bad for that.Very analytical sound I found, quite tiring to listen to, short on bass.

Do yourself a favour and get some SE530's, pricier but worth the investment.

[Zod]

The sound is NOT short of bass. You need to experiment with the ear pieces to find the ones that work best for you. Once you get the right ones, the sound will be close to perfection.
