 Sounds great, no weight April 21, 2008

These earbuds are wonderful. They are tiny, but powerful. I travel a great deal and they make long plane flights wonderful. They have a superb dynamic range and make my iPod or the airplane entertainment systems sound wonderful. The design effectively blocks the airplane drone and the other noises in the cabin. The fit is so good that you can sleep with them in (a real advantage for us tired travelers). The cord is wonderfully designed so that it never tangles. The whole package weighs nothing, needs no power and seems to make every source sound great. I lost my first set (the downside of the small size) but after trying two other types, went back and bought the Etymotic again.

I work in a very noisy Jr. High school and I needed something that was portable, sound good, and could cut out most of the external noise around me. I tried several top noise reduction headphones , (except the Bose), and none worked well in that environment. Some gave me headaches, most were too bulky and clumsy with external battery cases dangling everywhere and, I could still hear the noise drowning out the music. But the Etymotic ER-4P were great. They are very portable, sound is clear and balanced, though if you like ear defining, brain damaging bass, these are not the ear buds for you, also if you are not comfortable with things in your ear you may want to choose something else. But, if you like great sound and a noisy environment turned off, these are for you. They sound great on my ipod touch and nano, I also us them in the studio when I record.
Sweet Highs, light on the base April 11, 2008

I damaged my Shure E3's with some moisture and decided to try this brand. When it comes to mid and high range sounds the ER4P's are a lot more crisp than the Shure's. I think the Shure brand has a flatter sound, which when swapping between the 2 actually sounds more natural. But the clarity of the ER's is amazing and unsurpassed by anything else I've plugged into my ears.
If you listen to a lot of rap and sport a set of 12inch subs in your trunk, you may want to go the Shure route. But if clean and crisp is what you seek, the ER4p is hard to beat. They have an adaptor for about $65 that turns them into the ER4s if you want the best of both worlds. (ER4S requires more power but is supposed to be even better sounding)
 Like a tin can, no bass... March 28, 2008

These have amazingly clear highs. But the lowend gets distorted at only half volume on a non-bassy song. I turned the bass down and fixed the problem but was left with only the high-end. I ended up buying e5c's which have a much fuller sound to them but lack the clarity of the ety's. I thought I would mind the lack of clarity, but in the end I enjoyed the e5c's more.
