the 4s is the one you should get.
i just cant get myself to buy something like that despite however good deal/great sound it is. it just look too ugly i bet they are gonna launch a new model to replace that pretty soon. the er4 has been in the market for very very very long.

forget the 4b. either go with the 4p or the 4s. if you are 100% certain u wont be getting an amp, the 4p would probably be a safer bet. regarding using them as portables, i see quite a number of people on head-fi using the 4s for home use and the 6i for their daily commute.

actually, i m still confuse at this moment guys.
cos head-fi review got list "p to s cable", wat the heck is this?
its making me confused.
anyway, the design is definitely bad compare to er-6i or e3c, but compare to the output of the quality i guess this should be the one to get.

actually i plan to get it use outdoor. but guess that i wont be using any portable amp, becoz i cant find any good one like the cmoy amp in Malaysia.
or can someone build for me?
really scare that the bass is lacking when i use it in bus trip.

The P to S cable is for those people who buy the ER4P, once you use that extra cable, it changes the sound characteristics of the ER4P to match the ER4S exactly.

erm, then back to a very simple thing now.
comparing a USD99 er-6i and USD190 er-4, which one will u get?
or get shure e3c................?

It's really hard to decide unless you hear all of them with your setup.

Hope this help to provide you more info.

considering your situation of using earphones with a portable setup but without an amplifier, i'd go with either the er6 or the shure. i chose ER6 over ER6i cause the 6i is white and i have bad experience with my white EX71SL and the white cord getting all grey and dirty. also, the ER6 has a more accurate frequency response than the 6i (i like to listen to music the way it was recorded and not having any coloured sound from the earphones).. of course, if u are a whitey person, then by all means go with the 6i if u got the extra money to spare, just go for the ER4P + the P to S converter. that way, u get the ER4P and if u feel like trying the ER4S sound, just hook up the converter and there u go.

i wanan buy new headphone for my mp3 player as well... mikechai is selling the philips one that one good ar? RM85 worth ma? markt price how much ar?

or there is any other better earphone range that price? recommend me pleaseeeeee

all this depends on your budget.if u got the budget u can always get the 1 they mentioned earlier,etymotic.but mike's philips also not bad.value for money.of course we must compare epal to epal la both diff class

just to let you guys know, the ebay seller "idealsound" is affiliated with www.discountheadphones.com and they are selling the ER4s earphones for US$180 which is really well below the retail of US$330. i used their "offer best price" option in their auction and gave an offer of US$170 which they declined but messaged me saying they would sell for US$180. of course, + US$40 shipping international

i wonder what happens if you put $10
oh btw, idealsound is discountheadphone....just that discountheadphone is their store name in ebay. idealsound is their general web store name they are even under the same address XD

oh btw, i have a feeling that (based on some reviews) the so called ultra high detail on the er4 is actually the ultra crisp highs...= super bright phone. it is also said that it is quite bassless...got a feeling that it is even brighter than the er6...man...ear piercing ouch!

WTF?!?!?! US$40 for shipping a small little box?!?

What, they overnight it to you or something?


@yanjinowa,

If you're interested in getting the ER-6i, then go to either headroom or earphonesolutions and try to get them to price match with Buy.com's USD81 (plus coupon) offer. Plus shipping, it should set you back around USD100 or so, unless you plan to load up on filters/tips/etc.

I think the ER-6i is a great way to get to know if you dig IEMs at minimal cost. It's good enough to tide you over if you like it before you start itching for the ER4 or higher, plus if your source is less than fantastic, it should be as far up the ladder you want to go before LDMR starts to skew things towards cost rather than benefit. And if you find that you don't like the whole 'sticking things into your ears' business, you'll probably find that it'll be easier to offload RM400 earphones than RM800 ones

actually...im gonna let go of my er6 that i received yesterday...if anybody is interested..lemme know.. USD68 + RM12 shipping.

small box? nice....you ever seen the box? they ship by ups worldwide express, usually take 3-4 days to reach asia i belive. it cost USD35 to ship across boarder when I ordered the hd650 from them. if you quote the same box size, weight, yada yada from ups' site...it cost > 100 bucks

How big can the box be? I've seen the ER-4s retail box, just a little larger than the one on the ER-6i, and it can easily fit inside a padded envelope.

Don't tell me they try and stuff it inside a Jumbo Box?!?

Where can u find it in Malaysia? And how much?

it's at least 3-4 times the size. the er6 can be shipped as document, the er4 must be shipped as parcel and they do use larger box with cushion for added protection.

Find what? The Er-6/i?

If you mean those two, scotty the moddy is selling them so click on the link under his posts to find more info.

As for the ER-4, nowhere that I know but I'm sure if you talk to scotty that he can probably hook you up with a pair.

If you plan to order them online, check out HeadRoom, Earphonesolutions, DiscountHeadphones, etc.

I saw both the ER-4 and ER-6i in Bangkok and the retail box didn't look all that different. That was when I wondered how tiny the ER-4's toolbox must be to fit in the same box.

Of course, I didn't bother to look too long since they were going for about 7500 Baht just for the ER-6i

well, for all u guys advice i would like to get the er-4p a go.
then where else i can get the p-s cable? andhow much does it cost?
