- Have to hear to believe
Most people I know only have listened to their music with ear buds given to them along with their iPod or some they picked up at Target; the problem is they can listen to their music with these but they can't 'hear' it.

If you've never tried any higher priced headphones you really do not know what you are missing, and if that is the case these are the perfect place to start. I do know there are some people who really don't care but if you're reading this then I'm guessing you care.

There are some reviews (on Amazon and across the web) that talk about how a perfect seal is hard to get and I'm here to tell you (and maybe I'm just special) that it's not (after some practice). Trial and error is the way to go. Put them in, take them out, put them in, take them out. I find it difficult to put them in without moistening them a bit; this makes sliding them in much easier.

When I first got them I was trying to stick them in TOO far because I had read about how hard it was to get the 'proper' seal. They hurt and I was worried I was going to have to return them. I tried putting them in less far and not only are they comfortable (can't really feel them) but the sound is even better. If you moisten them just SLIDE them in to where they stop but you shouldn't have to PUSH. Pushing is where I made my mistake.

The noise isolation is awesome (though I can still hear my dog barking, ha) and I actually like the 'finger in your ears' feeling you get when you have them in. Not sure why but for me it gives me a 'safe' feeling.

Anyway, try these out. Experiment with getting them in (remember don't PUSH)and figuring out the direction of your ear canals. Once you get the hang of it they are a breeze to get in (actually easier than your average canal buds like the ATH-CK7's). If you don't like them you can always return them but there is no reason to do that!

- Nice Headphones
I've had an pair of these since 2003. They have a great sound, and not too much bass. My only pet peeve about them is the cost of accessories. Five pairs of gray ear tips is 14.00 and the extra filters (necessary every once and a while) are 15.00 for a package of 6. The markup for the accessories has to be amazing, and increases the total cost of ownership over time.
Other than that, I think they're great for running and working out as long as you don't mind the expense of maintaining the filters, etc.

These earphones are very accurate and smooth. At times they can sound clinical. I know that this particular model is not supposed to require a headphone amplifier, but it is my opinion that a headphone amplifier really makes a positive difference with these earphones. They continue to sound very accurate, but they have greater bass presence. They still do not have an overly bassy sound like those wretched Bose earphones, but they do sound a touch warmer.

Fit on earphones is absolutely essential. you must have a seal or they just do not perform. Due to the design of the earpieces, they insert deeply into the ear, but not enough to physically damage the innerds of your ear. It does take some getting used to, but it absolutely worth it.

The packaging is really quite nice. I like the fact that they come in a plastic case that is really sturdy. I always put them back in the full case (okay, I am anal), but the package comes with a small traveling case that would fit in a pocket.

Don't be concerned that the headphone amplifier takes to much space. I have a small headphone amplifier that fits with my Ipod Classic (both the 60 gig and 160 gig models)in the breast pocket of a standard Oxford cloth or broadcloth dress shirt (yes it looks nerdy). If the music starts to sound crackly using the headphone amplifier and that crackle is not normally there, it usually means that the headphone amplifier needs a new battery or needs to be recharged.

All in all, I cannot say enough good things about the Etymotic ER4 P and the ER4 S (I have them both)as long as they are supplemented with a headphone amplifier.

I had a old pair of these before they were stolen. these are good ear phones. I went through 3 pairs for $39.99 head phones that lasted only 6 weeks at a time (skull candys) Those are some trash. But These are really good. If you get a clip or 2 for the wire you can run with these easy. Or get a cheap pair for work outs so you don't ruin the good pair. I am giving these 4 stars and not 5 because. They changed the blue tip and red tip to all black. and the stock ends are gray not white but I think I can order the white ones no biggie. Other then that THESE are GREAT. 2 year warrenty. SWEET.

- Excellent sound. Shop around.
I've had these a couple of years, and am generally pleased with the sound quality. I use these most frequently on an airplane, replacing the excellent but much bulkier Bose QC2 headphones I used to use. Occasionally use at the office, which helps to drown out neighboring conversations. I use the Etymotics exclusively with the foam ear adapters, as I could never get the soft rubber ear adapters to fit my ears properly.

I recently got a chance to preview the Shure SE530's, and found those to be stunningly good sonically, although at a signficantly higher price point. The Shure 530's are also a bit bulkier, but well designed from an ergonomic / looks point of view.

Needless to say, all of the above selections (Etymotic ER-4P, Bose QC2, Shure SE530) are vastly superior to the stock earphones that come with your mp3 player.

My bottom line: pick a price point, and visit some bricks and morter stores that allow you to try them in-ear before purchasing. Top of the line earphones (or headphones) are worth it, but the variation in style and fit make it essential to try them on for size, in-ear fit, looks, sound, and anything that annoys the end user. Don't rush into a $300 set of phones.
