Etymoticフィルターチューニングキット - ERシリーズイヤホン用に設計 - 各色のフィルター4個(ホワイト、ブラウン、グリーン、レッド、オレンジ)。

商品説明には「各色のフィルターが4個」とあるが、おくられてきたのは、倍の「各色のフィルターが4組分(8個)」だった。ER4SRに赤、ER2XRに茶のフィルターを装着し、デフォルト緑より自分好みのバランスになった。有意な商品。

I have recently purchased several pairs of Etymotic ER4XR's when they went on sale; couldn't pass up the deal as I have been a longtime fan of Etymotic IEMs - something like over a decade. But it was somewhat of an on/off relationship where I would go from Etymotic to another IEM or headphones and back. But recently, I have discovered by accident how to make everyday use more comfortable and enjoyable. One of the most common issue I had was that the stock tips that were provided were not very good in the past. But I had not been using them properly. When you use the double or triple flange ear tips is that you rotate them an an angle (parallel to your ear canal) and point the tale down as you insert them. It will complete isolate outside noise and it will be very comfortable at the same time. It also vastly improves the frequency response and make it sound exactly how the IEM was tuned from the factory. But here's the rub. Ety's typically have a flat frequency response graph or neutral sounding signature and it limits the colorization of the original work hence called audio monitors. Because of this, I did not use them consistatly in the past. However, I think Etymotic engineers heard me (and many others) and came up with the 'XR' series which has a slight low end bias. This did the magic for me. It has just enough low frequency bias and it punches hard. Wait, I am not finished yet LOL. Okay, now that the low end is covered, now the high-mid highs were not high enough for me like the previous generations. This is where these filters came in. Originally, for years, I thought that the "filters" were just to protect the drivers from ear wax contamination. I was sorely wrong on this one, well sort of. Well, it does both. It provides ear wax protection AND also slightly modifies the frequency response curve. ER4XR's comes stock with green filters, which is mentioned as being neutral. This kit, comes with 5 different type of filters; white, brown, green, red, orange. As you go from left to right, it filters least to most. White is most bright, and orange is most dark or warm. I guess you can call them 'passive band pass filters' in nerdy speak. I find that my ears like the brown, which is slightly brighter than the stock green filter. It actually made me appreciate this IEMs even more. I am hearing things now I have not heard on the tracks before. If you're an audio head like me, I highly recommend you trying out these filters. You'll very likely be surprised at what it can do to an already an excellent IEM in stock form.

Etwas teuer, aber sehr gut um seine etymotic In-Ears etwas wärmer oder detailreicher abzustimmen.

All in all good value, but might be better to sell 10 pairs of one impedance in a package.

Les bagues sont très fragiles. on doit les extraire avec l'outil fourni (tige filetée), mais si on visse trop, cela fend les bagues.

Tudo ok com o produto, ainda não usei e não posso dizer se muda a assinatura sonora.
