Editorial Reviews:

The ER-4P MicroPro noise-blocking earphones from Etymotic Research offer realistic sound reproduction and noise isolation that far surpasses that of active noise-canceling earphones. The ER-4P earphones--which require no batteries--can be plugged into any audio source. They can be used with portable CD, MP3, DVD, and other players without an additional amplifier.

The ER-4P earphones were designed to match the response of the ear, creating nearly perfect sound reproduction. They reduce external sound naturally by sealing your ear canals, without the added weight, bulk, or external power supply required for active noise-canceling. Their external noise exclusion (up to 33 dB using the supplied 3-flange eartips and 41 dB with foam eartips) lets you hear the full dynamic range of recordings without your having to play them at unnaturally high and unsafe levels.

What's in the Box
ER-4P MicroPro earphones, a 5-foot cord with 3.5 mm stereo phone plug, a .25-inch stereo phone adapter plug, six 3-flange eartips, 10 foam eartips, a filter-changing tool, 4 replacement filters, a shirt clip, a zippered pouch, a storage box, a user's manual, and warranty information.

Summary: ER4P does exactly what they promise
Comment: great sound on highs and mids, just like everyone else here has stated. bass leaves something to be desired. i called etymotic and they sent me a bigger set of foam tips free of charge! would recommend to a friend.

Summary: A year along and only positive things to say
Comment: Before I bought these, I did a LOT of research into the various headphones out there. I wanted something that offered great sound, provided complete noise isolation to the outside world, was portable, durable, and didn't cost $1000. I picked these, have had them over a year now, and am very happy with them. I listen to many types of music: rock, classical, rap, vocal, acoustic, etc. and they have been great. Walking through Times Square and only being able to hear a crystal clear Michael Buble singing "Feeling Good" is quite an experience, and these headphones were just the ticket!

Summary: Outstanding
Comment: I recently thought I had lost my ER-4Ps, so went through the process of looking at the Shure 530s and the Ultimate Ear Triple.fi 10vi's. At first, the bass in these two competitors wowed me. But after listening to both for a while and then going to my replacement ER-4P's I remembered what had attracted me to the Ety's in the first place. They are smooth, they are light weight, and just plain comfortable in the ears. I don't think you can go wrong with these. I listen to a lot of different music, but mostly classic rock and am satisfied that I made the right choice. Plus these are less than half the cost of the Shures or UEs. Highly recommended!

Summary: Great buds, but 5 star is way overrating them.
Comment: I bought these and the ER6i set at the same time. Compared to the ER6i, the ER-4P does have somewhat better response at the low frequencies. However for overall sonic reproduction, my Bose Tri-Ports and Bose QuietComfort 3 headphones far outperform either of the Etymotics.

Here's my take on sound isolation/cancelling. My Bose QuietComfort 3 headphones do great on low frequency sounds (as they are designed to do). However, both of the Etymotic earphones do a much better job in the office environment. (The QuietComfort 3s do nothing to block or cancel office noise--you can only drown it out.) The good seal on the Etymotic earphones blocks sound from the computer fan whine and office conversations (co-worker whine)--even with my iPod set at its lowest volume. The Etymotics are the only earphones or headphones that I listen to with the volume set at minimum.

For my money though (hoping to help someone out here), I would purchase the Etymotic ER6i for decent sound and excellent high-frequency noise blocking. i.e. The extra money spent on the ER-4P bought me little value. However, don't expect either of the Etymotics to block low frequency sound, such as airliner rumble, or to provide superb music reproduction.

Happy Tunes!

Summary: Amazing product
Comment: I bought it because I took the recommadation from websites and my friends. They all told me this is almost the best in-earphone at this price. And they didn't fail me.
