TOPS for iPod or any portable music.

Strengths: Very accurate, high-quality sound. Super lightweight & compact. Blocks background noise so music shines through...

Weakness: May not satisfy deep bass freaks, but most headphones are not strong there anyway.

I bought these phones from COMP-U-PLUS 2 years ago (best price). I have been an audiophile for 2 decades and have critically listened to many different headphones. I can't think of a better headphone to use with portable music players like the iPod, etc. The sound of these Etymotics is very smooth and evenly distributed from top to bottom, which when listening to for hours (like traveling), will...

ETYMOTIC ER-4P

Strengths: Life like sound, powerful bass, excellent isolation

Weakness: Little uncomfortable in the beginning

I also have shure e-4, which are loud, have clear sound,good sound color, but etymotic e-4p are still on the top.They have been around for few years now, and for portable use, nothing beats them. They isolate so good, that when I'm on the plane, and I travel a lot,if people ask me something, I have to get them off, as I do not hear nobody talking, even loudly, they cut down 90% of the engine roar...

Outstanding

Strengths: Block all ambient noise, outstanding sound perfomance

Weakness: None

I've been using these for over a year with my portable MP3 player and laptop. I use them at the gym about 3 times a week and haven't had any problems. I also fly on military aircraft a lot and these gems not only sound terrific but also work as ear plugs, blocking all ambient noise so you only hear what you want to. I use the rubbery inserts because their easy to put in and take out. Convenient...

ER-4P

Strengths: Isolation of environmental noise. Accurate frequency response. Warm, full bass. Great for non-amplified MP3 use.

Weakness: Cables tend to be microphonic. Not comfortable enough for extended listening sessions.

I wanted ear phones to do two things - shut out external noise (the jet engine ambient during plane travel and the aggravating stuff played at my gym) and great sound. The Etymotic ER-4P in-ear phones covered those two requisites and then some. Their playback is so accurate I'm wondering how much better my MP3 player will sound through a dedicated headphone amp. Highly recommended.

Very good alternative to Bose QC2's: Small, light, &...

Strengths: Tiny, well constructed, and painfully acurate sound reproduction.

Weakness: Not the prettiest things in the world--and make sure your source components are at least as good as the headphones.

I bought these to replace my Bose QuietComfort II's, which my puppy recently decided to "puppize". I thought the Bose did a reasonable job of turning off airplanes, etc... but were not the best for turning off babies. They also did not reproduct classical music as well as I would have liked... When it came time to buy again, I demoed these ER-4P's and a pair of (more attractive) Shure 4G's. I was...

Audiophile Quality Headphones, Mind Blowing

Strengths: Superb sound quality Isolation is much better than the Shure or Bose headphones Amazing for iPod and even better for home use

Weakness: Some people may find the in-ear design uncomfortable

I bought a pair of ER-4P's just before Christmas, they are truly mind blowing, bass is phenomenal, enough to give a nice 'bumph' yet not overpowerful to drown out mids. Treble is definitely there but it is not over-bright which can be a problem on other headphones. Just to comment on one of the previous reviews which said these would not be good for children; I agree that these could be...

total sound isolation!

Strengths: small and discrete, total sound isolation, anazing sound quality

Weakness: feel slightly uncomfortable so takes time getting used to them. Somewhat pricey but hey you get what you pay for.

I was recomended The Etymotic ER-4P and i am glad i took his recommendation. These little earphones are just fantastic!. The sound isolation is second to none. I travel on the London's Underground practically everyday and they totally isolate all external sound. On flights, you can plug them straight in to listen to the inflight entertainment offerings, in doing that the aircrafts was totally...

Blocks out the world!

Strengths: great sound, excellent ambient noise reduction

Weakness: hassle to get in and out, somewhat uncomfortable after long periods of time, expensive

I recently received my pair of ER-4P's after debating for a long time whether the price was worth the sound quality. I had tried a friend's pair and fell in love with them, but still hesitated about the price. (That is, until my most recent airplane trip, which made me realize that the ambient noise reduction would be worth it. I can't wait to try them on my next trip!) In the meantime, I've been...

er4p headphones

Strengths: impressive sound,

Weakness: in ear design takes a while to ge comfortable, high cost.

I purchased these for $201.00 shipped. They provide great sound and superior sound isolation. I use them when riding on my lawn tractor and have been able to dispense with my earmuffs. Once you get used to inserting them in your ear, the sound isolation is fantastic. They do tend to accumulate ear wax which degrades the sound quality. They come with filters and a tool used to remove the filters....

Etymotic Research MicroPro ER4P Portable Earphone

Strengths: Unsurpassed sound for Ipod or Home Stereo use.

Weakness: None found

ER4-p canal style headphones. The "p" is for portable use as with an Ipod or similar device. These list for $330, but I found them available on PriceGrabber for $218 (sweet). These headphones are simply the "state of art". Toss those ear buds that came free with your player and hear what your player is really capable of.
