Summary: Crystal clear but sensitive 2008-04-16
Comment: Wow. I have had several ear phones and ear buds. Given that the ear buds are small, it is unbelievable how clear the sound is and how strong the base is. Ok, you can't get deep driving base with ear buds like you can with big headphones. Anyone who says you can is in my opinion having themselves out or lying. However, with these headphones, you get as good a sound as you could possibly expect from such a small devise.
The clarity of the sound is unbelievable. You can hear the tiniest sounds in a large orchestra, the twanging of an 12 string guitar, the snap of a tight rim shot, and the lingering clang of a symbol. In addition, the ER4P is substantial right out of the box. As soon as you look at it and touch it, you know it is solid. It feels expensive and well build. No cheap looking plastic and thin wires. The wires and strong and quality.
Now for the draw back. As the previous author, you can hear a lot of sound of the cables when they rub together or against your shirt. To help prevent this, the cable does have a little clip. I use my ER4P when I'm sitting or going for a walk. However, when I run or do other exercise, I prefer a cheaper ear bud like the Sony Fontopia or other similar head phones I also own. Although the sound quality is not as good, you don't get the wire rubbing problem and the shorter cord (the ER4P has a rather long cord 6 or 7') of these earbuds makes it easier to use when working out. Besides, when you're running or biking, you don't care as much about the sound quality. You're not going to be able to enjoy the small sounds while working out anyway.
Bottom line. For high quality listening while sitting or just walking, you won't be disappointed with the ER4P. For working out, get something else.

Summary: Outstanding sound and noise blocking 2006-04-16
Comment: I have purchase and used each of the Bose noise canceling headphones. I mainly use them on planes where I do a fair amount of international travel and want to block out surrounding noise. The Etymotic earphones are much better in blocking out noise and the quality of the sound is superb. I plug the headphones directly into an iPod or computer with no need for any kind of amplifier. They are almost too good sometimes as I don't hear the PA system announcing that it is time to put away electronic gear and the flight attendant has to tap me on the shoulder.
The only weakness of these earphones, besides the high price, is the sensitivity of the cord. Because so much of the electronics are within the cords you can hear a hissing noise as they rub on your shirt - so just avoid having the cord rub. Another cautionary note: Although I am very comfortable having a rubber flanged ear plug in my ear canal have slept for hours on flights with reasonable comfort, I know many people are not happy inserting anything into their ears. This is something definitely to work out in advance; your comfort level with in the ear canal plugs.
