Etymotic ER4S "earplug" will have you immersed in music!

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2000
The Bottom Line: Excellent sounding earphones that are comfortable and truly isolates outside noise. For musicians/drummers wanting to protect their hearing, this is a worthy $270 investment.
Review: If I told you that I spent almost $300 on some earphones, you'd probably call me crazy. Many people do, so you're not alone. But those people don't understand why I walk around with a silly grin every time I listen to music with these Etymotic ER4S...

Little, Big sound

Date of Review:  Nov 4, 1999

Etymotic 4S: $30,000 sound for $269

Date of Review:  May 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: Sound resolution like no other, isolation which only enhances that and a low price for the sound quality. In my experience, my favorite headphones so far.
Review: Hello.

I feel it would be most fruitful to compare the Etys to some established hi-fi leaders in the headphone realm.

Audio-Technica ATH-W100: these are frequently heralded on headphone hi-fi sites as posessing near-Ety...

Reference quality sound in a portable package

Date of Review:  Jun 23, 2005
The Bottom Line: Top notch sound. If you need isolation and the best sound possible, these are it.
Review: The Etymotic Research ER-4S is the top line offering from the company that is serious about in-ear headphones and ear technology devices with an arsenal of patents to prove it. This model has been around since around 1991, and is still one of the...

Outstanding sound for commuters!

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you want outstanding audiophile sound quality and outstanding portability in one package, the Etymotic ER-4S is the one to choose, especially with a good amplifier.
Review: I've first heard the amazing Etymotic ER-4S canalphones at Headroom's World of Headphones tour. Never before had such high quality sound come from any pair of earphones that small! I was so impressed with their sound that I ordered a pair of them...

Great sound in a small package

Date of Review:  Sep 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: Great headphones for anyone wanting compact and portable audio solutions. Just make sure it fits well.
Review: I bought my pair back in 2001 on e-Bay. I think I paid about $125 when these were on sale new for $250 - $300. I of course ordered a new set of latex ear pieces before I tried them out. I picked this model based on reviews and recommendations from...

etymotic: worth the dough

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2000
Review: I've been a closet audiophile for most of my life, lusting for sonic accuracy but hampered by fiscal constraint. I knew what recorded music should sound like but my relatively timid purchases left me unsatisfied. Then I heard about the Etymotic...

The King of Headphone

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 1999
Review: This is the best headphone you can buy along with HD-600. However, some may disagree. I believe this is one of the best headphone I ever listened.

High is limited to below 16kHz but very controlled and wonderful. Mid is very smoothe and...

Hesitate NOT my friends

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2004
The Bottom Line: Get em, take em everywhere, reinvent your soundscape!!!
Review: Fantastic. I have read all the previous reviews, and hesitated for a week to check em out. Fantastic. The fit, for me is not that bad. I have worn earplugs to sleep, and it's much the same. Best earplugs I have ever worn.

Simply amazing, with two caveats.

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you have an amp, and don't mind the fit, among the best headphones at ANY price.
Review: The Ety ER4S are, hands-down, one of the best headphones in the world. They are accurate, involving, and they playback the music the way it was recorded -- good or bad.

The two caveats about the ER4S are:

1) They need (not...
