    ... and I've alluded to it several times at this point but I've been running a third party cable with my Etymotics for a few years now which has absolutely bollixed the sound, deterred me from using them. Hard to get Ety stuff in my neck of the woods, have to risk ordering direct from Ety which is going to be absolutely FUN in terms of shipping costs. The ER4 cable at least looks hardier so I have some hope for that.

    Proprietary keyed MMCX connectors are a special sort of torture.

    I used the balanced er4 cable. Stock ER2 cable kinda sucks.

    No gross changes to the tonality? I'm not much exaggerating when I say that while I do find the ER2XR muted in the treble in stock form, the aftermarket one I got (the only one local that could fit) just made things all sorts of tizzy and hashy. I'd much rather get something close to stock sound but more durable.
