hey guys.
it is s happen to that i can get someone in US to help me bring a RH-10 and a pair of earphone to me. so i would like to ask some comment from u guys.

izzit good to get a canal earpiece? i plan to get E3c or ER-6i. but my fren said there is a promotion going on with the ER-4p. so which one should i get? it is a headache to decide. since the earpiece cost much also.

well, if u r the one to get something to pair up with the RH-10 Hi-MD player, wat will u get?

thx in advance.

huh? 2nd hand is good?
coz i duno wats the difference between shure and etymotic.
from online review some website recommend shure.
is E3C really good?
ER-4p is more expensive than the ER-6i?

you really need to try google a bit

but to answer your questions..
2nd hand, depends how long the 1st owner has used it and whether you like to experience the burn in process yourself. the issue about sticking something into your ear which someone else has stuck into theirs is not really a big thing considering you can buy new earpieces.

er4s > er4p > er6i > er6 in order of price, er4s being the most expensive of the ety range.

comparing shure and ety, try head-fi.org, got a few reviews there.

but if you got da spare cash, yeah try the one in the picture alamaklor posted.. its about us$900

it's the reason because u have never used a canalphone (i presume), never auditioned it before, and dont have the chance to do that, it's best to get a sec hand to try it out and you can always sell it back around the price you bought it with minimal lost. but of coz, if u got the moolah....then forget about it...and should just get the UE10pro.

erm, yes, i nvr tried canal earphone b4.
thru the review of headfi, it recommends shure e3c if compare to er-6i.

will try to look for review of er-4p.

i am looking for an ear plug at price below RM100 to pair with my mp3 player. so everyone have any good suggestion?thanks...

senheiser mx550/500.

threads merged. have PMed threadstarter for change of topic name. lets use this thread from now on for recommending and suggesting earphones. as usual, please refrain from one word/model/brand answers. as much as possible try and justify your suggestion with some useful information.

senheiser mx550/500 is how much and where can i get in malaysia?anyone try it?it's more for bass lover or what?

bulk buy in lyn got a guy selling, mx500 <rm100, mx550 i think slighly higher.

people generally comment mx500 more bass.

you are basshead? then u might want to check koss ksc75, clip on hp. you can buy it in low yat plaza(ipod shop outside, or search inside), klcc(one of the gadget shop)

you can get it under rm100.

i owned both mx550 and ksc75, prefer mx550 when listen to vocal. koss more harsh relatively, but definitely offer more bass.

then i think i will like the mx550 more, bcoz i seldom listen to rock or techno...and i am not a basshead also...i prefer some old song and classical song...thanks for the info dude...

try avp pro 5.1 head set with external amp price is rm199 good for movie, gaming & music, can go for a try at low yat plaza, 4th floor, midi speacialist opposite edifier showroom.

i had read the review of Shure E3c and Etymotic ER-4p.
it seems that the review favors E3c more that ER-4p.
as for the ER-4p it is more difficult to get the "sealing" effect and the E3c provide better comfort compare to the ER-4p.

and the review of ER-6i and E3c http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=121808

so, i guess E3c will be better to me as i m going to use it as an isolation when i m taking bus back to my hometown. and comfort is a point i m looking for.
but after all, i would like to ask that had someone tried both model?

i have a Koss Porta Pro so how is it when compare to the Porta Pro?

@yanjinowa

I think it's not really appropriate to compare porta pro and the other 2 buds. As porta pro is a headphone, not a canal phone. The other 2 provides isolation whereas porta pro doesn't. Somebody correct me if i'm wrong.

erm ~~

hello, guys.
i had made up my mind to get the etymotics ER-4s, as my fren can get it atthe price of USD$190.00. so i guess its a goodbuy after seeing the price of E3c at USD$120.00 and ER-6i at USD$99.00.

now i m waiting for my fren to come back.
then i will get the ER-4s pair with the RH-10, wondering how will this setup sound.

US$190 is a good price! where is your friend getting them from? do share hope your RH-10 has enough juice to drive these earphones, as they are rated at 100ohms. get the most out of your setup by using the lineout on your md player and hooking it up to a portable amp perhaps.

erm, is the er-4p and 4s the same?
coz i can find no difference between them.
and the amp of the RH-10 not enough to drive the ER-4s/p?
i tot the er-4p/s is mean for portable.


*jz find out that there are 3 versions of ER-4p/b/s.
one more question, p or s to get?

The ER-4s has a nominal impedance value of 100 ohm compared to the 27 ohm of the 4p, which mean that the 4s will be significantly harder to drive than the 4p.

That said, 100 ohm isn't impossible to drive with a portable, though it might not be at its best without the benefit of an additional amplifier.

If you plan to drop some cash on an amp, then the 4s should be a safe choice, but if you know you don't ever want to use an external amp, then stick with the 4p just to be on the safe side.

What's more, you can convert a 4p into a 4s should you want to at a later stage, but not vice versa.
