 This mix sounds more crisp and bright than anything else, with Callahan's rich baritone receiving some definition in the high-mids and the guitar strums and higher percussive hits benefiting from the excellent high-mid and high frequency clarity.

Orchestral tracks, like the opening scene in John Adams' The Gospel According to the Other Mary, sound phenomenal through the ER4 XR. The lower register instrumentation gets a little added depth, but never anything that sounds unnatural. The higher register strings, brass, and vocals are delivered with strong definition and brightness, but the mids are never ignored. You hear detail and definition throughout the frequency range, with beautifully resonant lows when they appear in the mix, and excellent clarity on the brass stabs and vocal performances

 The kick drum loop's attack gets plenty of treble presence, allowing it to stay sharp and slice through the layers of the beat, while the vinyl crackle in the background isn't pushed too far forward, but is definitely illuminated a bit more than it is through earphones that have less presence and clarity in the high-mids and highs. The three vocal performances on this track are always clear and crisp&mdash;there's superb definition in the high-mid and highs, but never any added sibilance or harshness.

If you've read any of my other reviews, you know that I value accuracy when it comes to audio. The most accurate in-ears are probably the ER4 XR's siblings, the Etymotic ER4 SR. Yet the ER4 SR might sound almost clinical and a little light on bass response to many listeners, while the ER4 XR (which stands for "extended response") earphones deliver nearly identical high frequency definition while adding in a little more bass response. The result is superb clarity matched with full-bodied richness&mdash;every realm of the frequency range is delivered with exciting detail

Etymotic ER4 XR Review

I was hoping for something amazing. These did not live up to expectations. I compared them to a pair of Denon AH-C120s ($100) and a pair of Nu-Force earbuds NE800M ($90). These two earbuds produce a richer, more 3D sound sound then the Etymotic ER4XRs

 I do like the fit and weight of the ER4XRs. They are very light as are the Denon's (Nuforce's are very heavy in comparison). I will continue to use them and maybe in time come to give a more favorable review.

almost FM sound to AM for want of a better description. The ER4XRs sound is very sterile and I can not really pick up the base for which these are optimized for. The sound is very very clear but lacks warmth that I get from the Denon and Nu-Force brands (some have complained that the Nu-Force sounds muddy. I never thought so)

I Was So So Hoping...But.....

 I'm like you know totally okay with not being able to hear a mosquito that wandered into the recording studio because it doesn't really have much of a practical effect. More importantly the XR may not sound overtly harsh but it still can sound a bit raw and it has a sort of mid-forward glare to the sound that the smoother ATH IMO 2 doesn't have. Now I think of the XR as a natural upgrade to the IMO 2 that I've been looking for for a long time because it does have a better bass section, a punchier bass and a clearer vocal section but it doesn't have the same smoothness as the IMO 2. And if you wanted something with similar levels of clarity but with richer bass tone and less mid-rawness for around the same price I'd go the AKG N40 which I picked up in Hong Kong and so far I'm liking a lot as well

 Now the ER4 XR lacks a little in terms of high extension. Now I can verify this with test tones because basically I can hear up to about 18kHz and the XR like it says on the spec sheet does top out at about 16kHz.

 Edimotic uses these triple flange ear tips to block out as much noise as possible. Now, whether they're comfortable for you is probably very dependent on the shape of your ear canal. For me, I found them surprisingly comfortable. Now keep in mind you can't compare this graph with other frequency response graphs without an idea of the testing rig, the methodology and the compensation they've used to produce this graph

 The new Edimotic ER4XR. An earphone with a custom driver tuned to sound like the SR in the highs, but with a 3 to 4 decibel bass boost in the low frequencies below 100Hz. And I know 3 to 4 decibel bass boost in low frequencies below 100Hz may not be the sexiest sentence in the world, but believe me, this earphone is awesome, and here's why. This channel does not accept review units, so I rely on support from viewers like you to keep doing what I'm doing

Etymotic ER4XR Review: A New Reference

 You see that right there? That's just going to disappear into the inside of your ear. The cable that they come with is, again, pretty utilitarian and heavy duty and I think it's very nice. And it still comes across as very, I think, a relaxing listen, which overall I think you could say for the sound signature is that it's a comfortable, relaxing listen. That said, while it is a nice, comfortable listen, I don't know that it's necessarily the most engaging listen

 And it still comes across as very, I think, a relaxing listen, which overall I think you could say for the sound signature is that it's a comfortable, relaxing listen. That said, while it is a nice, comfortable listen, I don't know that it's necessarily the most engaging listen. The head stage or the sound stage is not especially wide with the ER-4 XR. I would say that layering in the instrumentation, again, it kind of sounds two-dimensional

 So is this going to be the last in-ear monitor that I get? Probably not, but let's go ahead and open it up, give it a listen and find out if I have maybe a new standard. Let's go ahead and open it up, give it a listen and find out if I have a new standard. Alright, so I've spent the last two weeks listening to the Edimotic ER4 XR and trying to figure out, are these things just a tool or are these actually a good music listening earphone, right? These things are basically made to be super, super accurate and frankly, I'm not really in a position to criticize the accuracy of these things, right? What makes an accurate earphone is kind of going to depend on whatever the industry accepts as accurate and these things, the industry accepts as accurate, so I assume that these things are accurate. I'm not going to really criticize them in that regard

 Sometimes you can find it for under $300, but that's about where you're looking at and that is not cheap, especially compared to a lot of the stuff that I've been listening to. But for the reputation that this earphone has, I don't know, it sounds like this earphone can stand up to a lot of like Summit Fi earphones that cost over a thousand dollars, multi-thousand dollars and you get that for $350, maybe it's a bargain. So is this going to be the last in-ear monitor that I get? Probably not, but let's go ahead and open it up, give it a listen and find out if I have maybe a new standard.

Etymotic ER4XR Super Review - Just a TOOL?

 Even then, it's almost painful to feel the flanges digging into my ear canal. Hopefully, the earbuds will get easier to insert as I get used to them.  As a final note, these things are so good at noise isolation that they can probably be used as professional hearing protection. That's no exaggeration; earplugs generally reduce noise by about 30 dB, and Etymotic claims that these earbuds reduce ambient noise by between 30 and 40 dB

 After a year or so of daily wear, the angled rubber on the MMCX connector wore through entirely; be careful taking these out or you could end up needing to spend $40 for a replacement.

  First, the positive: these are easily the clearest earbuds I've tried. Every sound is incredibly crisp and clean; I have no idea how Etymotic managed to get both good bass and no lingering rumble after, say, a drum hit, but they did it. As a result, these have an almost sterile, technical feel to them in a very good way: you'll hear every detail in any song you play or video you watch, provided you can get the fit right. This includes distortion or clipping if the recording was flawed

This includes distortion or clipping if the recording was flawed.  Speaking of fit, these will definitely take some getting used to. These feel more like earplugs than earbuds, and I had to spend several minutes switching between the provided ear tips (regular, large, and foam) before settling on one large triple-flanged tip and one foam

Hard to wear and accessories need work, but sound fantastic!

 If you're interested in repping your audio habit or you just kind of want to support the channel, you can actually get one of these for yourself in the SuperReview merch store via a link in the description below. Okay, enough shilling, let's talk about the Monarch. So this earphone has got to be frankly just kind of one of the most extra earphones I've ever tried in a handful of different ways. So for one, it's not cheap, it's a $720 IEM, but if you've been seeing my recent reviews, I guess $700 is frankly not that nuts

 I think if you look outside of the midrange, or sorry, the sub bass parts of the frequency response, these are tuned fairly similarly, although there are some differences in the presentation. I would say that the treble on the S8, in my opinion, is clearly more detailed and just like airier and more forward than the treble on the Monarch. Not that the Monarch does treble poorly. I think I had some pretty good things to say about the treble here

 The S8 just, I don't know how it does the sort of forward presentation of the treble without ever being harsh and just kind of like this effortlessness to it. Whereas in comparison, the Monarch might feel a little bit rounded in the details. Obviously, though, that big difference is going to be in that bass. If you want a lot of sub bass, well, the Monarch is definitely going to do that for you, but I don't find the sub bass on the S8 lacking

 So yeah, there's that. And then the other big difference, and again, this is going to be a fairly personal thing, but for me, the Moondrop S8 just fits so much better. But yeah, that is probably going to be my review of the FIAT Audio Monarch. So out of five stars, I gotta be honest, I'm struggling with this one, but out of five stars, I'm going to go ahead and give the FIAT Audio Monarch three stars

ThieAudio Monarch REVIEW! A bit much

Now the cities opened up and I decided to pull a setup that I can carry elsewhere when travelling and I came across Thieaudio Monarch Mk2 from various sources. But I had to preorder them and it took a month to be able to get them on my ears. Previously I use Moondrop Aria to listen to music, they are great for their price but not able to touch my loudspeakers. Now I switched to Monarch 2, they offered a lot more space and details, actually better than Aria in every single dimension

My second IEMs, no regret with a month long pre-order. The quality is there, grab them.
