Guest dragonboy Report post Posted December 22, 2007 3 studio definitely does not sound like the 6i. 3 studio have more bass control where the 6i bass is almost minimal. But the 6i have very clear highs & mids. extremely good vocals. So if you're a bass guy, i think the 6i is out for you.... that is unless you have abt $400 to spent on the 4P. Personally, I'll prefer the 6i.... but will definitely go for the 4P once my wallet is ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pramilainc 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2007 I used to own an ER6i, which i liked very much. Once it broke down, I bought an UE SF5Pro after a short audition. It was initially impressive, because of deep bass that Ety lacks. But overtime i began to dislike SF5Pro. If you are using triple flange on ER6i, chances are you will find it very hard to get used to rubber tips of SF5Pro. I used to get almost perfect seal with the triple flange, but after 8 months of trying different rubber tips i still cant get anything near that on SF5Pro. If you are into foam tips then i don't think you'll would find adjusting too difficult. I also find that SF5Pro bass seems rather muddy, the midrange lacks detail of ER6i, and wearing SF5Pro a bit uncomfortable than ER6i, probly due to size and weight. Its best you give it a little audition, but be wary not to be wowed by the bass straight away and ignore the rest of the sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cruise Report post Posted December 27, 2007 IMO, the SF5Pro sounded kind of artificial to me.. I would prefer UM2 anytime Yeah, I agree to that. If you love details in your songs esp vocals and classical, ER4P is the way to go Some people just love the ER4P, others might hate it.. It really depends on what you want them for though.. $400 for a single-armature driver is a little too much, considering that SF5Pro consist of dual-armature driver and yet cost lesser than the ER4P..

I would prefer UM2 anytime me too. the Ety-made Altec 716 is the best way to go for this family of IEMs. unbelievable pricing makes it an even more awesome deal. http://www.amazon.com/Altec-Lansing-inMoti...s/dp/B000BKE8QQ Edited December 27, 2007 by sghound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
