Etymotic ER4XR review

 

The ER4XR sound will appeal to a wide audience - one that doesn't mind invasive earbuds

Excellent mid-range detail ; Convincing overall sound

Invasive tips ; No in-line remote

Slightly more forgiving balance makes the ER5XRs a little easier to live with than their SR siblings, but they’re still an analytical listen.

Etymotic ER4 XR

 

The stunning Etymotic ER4 XR earphones deliver the sonic accuracy sound professionals need, and add some subtle depth in the lows to complement modern mixes.

Exceptionally accurate mids and highs coupled with rich, full bass response. Detachable, high-quality cable. Plethora of eartip options in various sizes and styles. Ships with several accessories, including zip-up case.

Etymotic ER4XR In-ear Monitors Reviewed

 

Etymotic Research didn't jump on the headphone bandwagon. Rather, the company helped hitch up the horses and get the wagon rolling. With roots in acoustic research and hearing aid design, Etymotic developed its first high-performance, noise-isolating...

The ER4XR is an accurate in-ear monitor that serves up clean, spacious, nuanced highs, as well as rich mids and solid bass--as long as you take the time to get a proper fit ; These IEMs provide great noise reduction. Etymotic claims 35 to 42 dB, and I...

The supplied cable lacks a microphone and phone/volume controls. Also, the L-shaped connector may not fit into a bulkier protective case for your phone or tablet (I had to take off my iPhone case that includes a backup battery). And there's no small,...

Etymotic's ER4XR is a high-performance in-ear monitor that's accurate enough to bring out the best in your higher-quality recordings but forgiving enough that you can still enjoy any lesser-quality files or streaming services that are part of your...
