A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one.

DESCRIPTION
THE LEGACY OF QUALITY AND TRUST
Etymotic is credited with the invention of noise-isolating in-ear in-ear monitors 30 years ago. The Etymotic design adopted balanced armature receivers and was used for auditory research and hearing tests. This served as the standard benchmark for high-definition in-ear in-ear monitors. However, the Etymotic ER4 became the first noise-isolating, high-fidelity in-ear in-ear monitors to be featuring this unique technology in a consumer earphone. That's not all, these in-ear in-ear monitors are known to be the world leader in accuracy; when compared to other in-ear monitors. Therefore even after years, these reference-quality headphones are preferred by audiophiles, musicians and audio engineers.
EXPERIENCE NOISE ISOLATION AND SONIC PERFORMANCE LIKE NEVER BEFORE
The Etymotic ER4 are the first in-ear monitors to provide a completely sealed in-ear fit. They offer 98% (35dB - 42dB) noise isolation which is best when compared to any in-ear monitors available in the market. One of the benefits of best-in-class noise isolation is that you don't have to listen to your music at extremely high volumes. The Etymotic ER4 comes in two models SR and XR. Both ER4 models, the ER4SR and ER4XR, use the same Balanced Armature (BA) drivers. The only difference is the tuning of the lower (bass) frequencies. The ER4SR, being the "reference" model, is tuned to be as precise and flat as possible. The ER4XR, being the "fun" model, is tuned with added bass.
EXQUISITE BUILD FUSED WITH HIGH-QUALITY CABLE
The body of the ER4 is designed with high-grade metal and has an anodized finish. They are built to offer a perfect and comfortable in-ear fit. The reinforced 5ft cables that come with this earphone are detachable and have a 3.5 mm gold plated stereo jack and MMCX connectors. The Etymotic ER4 in-ear monitors feature a user-replaceable filter over the balanced armature drivers to protect them from ear wax. Moreover, these in-ear monitors have a 2-year replacement warranty.
RESULT OF YEARS OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Etymotic is known as the world leader in sound reproduction. They have unrivalled accuracy in frequency response and audio quality. The ER4 in-ear earphone has 92%+ response accuracy from 20Hz-16kHz. These are exclusive in-ear monitors to feature custom-made balanced armature drivers with best-in-class output sensitivity.

Which Etymotic ER4 is right for you?
Both ER4 models, the ER4SR and ER4XR, use the same Balanced Armature (BA) drivers. The only difference is the tuning of the lower (bass) frequencies. The ER4SR, being the “reference” model, is tuned to be as precise and flat as possible. The ER4XR, being the “fun” model, is tuned with added bass. As you can see from the frequency response graphs below, ER4XR adds 1-2dB to the mid-bass frequencies (below 200Hz) and 3-4dB to the lower-bass and sub-bass (below 100Hz). The rest of the frequencies are practically identical. ER4SR is ideal for sound engineers and mixing technicians who must have precise and accurate sound reproduction across all frequencies. ER4SR is the IEM of choice for audiophiles and consumers who like to listen to their music exactly the way it was recorded. ER4XR with its tastefully added bass is favoured by audiophiles and consumers who prefer a little extra bass presence when enjoying their music. This model is not bass heavy by any means.
