Etymotic Research ER4S Review | The Headphone List

Make no mistake – Etymotic’s flagship is still a top-tier IEM 15 years later. The fact that the ER4S costs $250 to some of the other flagships’ $400+ is a testament to its high value

The ER-4PT, the latest in Etymotic's ER series, is perhaps the most accurate flat response pair or earphones you can buy, and it's worth every penny.

There are three types of audio aficionados: those who call themselves audiophiles, and spend inordinate amounts of money on exotic separates and upgrades; professionals and engineers who regard these people as misguided fools and buy equipment to do a job
