With up to 42 dB of noise isolation, it creates an immersive listening experience ideal for audiophiles and sound engineers seeking unparalleled accuracy and detail. ## Description The Etymotic Research ER4SR is the new reference standard in-ear monitor for those who demand nothing less than the highest fidelity. The next generation of our long revered flagship in-ear earphone, the ER4S, the ER4SR delivers increased accuracy with greater sensitivity. Like its predecessor, the ER4SR channels are matched to within an industry-leading 1dB across all frequencies from 100Hz to 10kHz. The new ER4SR incorporates sleek, anodized and laser-etched aluminum bodies and braided, reinforced 5 ft. detachable cables. The ER4SR is a must have for discerning engineers, audiophiles, and consumers wanting the most accurate in-ear monitor available. Included with every pair of ER4SR earphones is an industry-exclusive channel matching compliance graph signed by the Etymotic engineer who precision matched and custom tuned the balanced-armature drivers. Every pair of ER4SR earphones is assembled and tuned in the United States.Transducers : High performance, balanced armature micro-drivers Review: Steal for the price in the IEM market - Don't be afraid of picking in between 4SR because it's "Studio Reference". These have great bass and is definitely there on all songs. It's a very clean quick punch bass that has is well defined (unlike the lower end IEMs in which all bass sound the same, the bass here has octaves). Instrument separation is a given as the detailing is phenomenal. Better than even thousand dollar IEMs like Shure SE846 in terms of sound quality. This is Etymotic's flagship model. The ER4 SR. The most accurate diffused neutral tuned IEM (outside electrostatics). Prepare to hear music like water. Clean and detailed. The "ear drilling" might take some people some time to get used to (for me, it was fine right away but I recall when I was younger, the "ear drilling" on the ER4P was definitely too uncomfortable for my taste). It's obvious the pros are as follows: 1. Sound quality. Sound quality. Sound quality. If you want to step up from here, you will have to spend thousands+ on IEMs and even then it's debatable. This is probably the best sound quality you can get out of an IEM under a $1000 in today's market. I hear good things about U12t, Andromeda, etc. but those are so far up the price point that it shows how great this IEM is sound quality wise. 2. Noise isolating. Cause it drills to your ears. 3. You will hear all the details in the piece because it is balanced in a diffused field manner (all frequencies should be able to be heard). The cons though to be aware of: 1. Cable is too long (1 ft longer than others). And the braided part (top) has quite a lot of microphonics which can be pain in the neck if you wear winter jackets. You will need to use the clipper that comes with the IEM in between your jackets when wearing winter jackets or otherwise, your earphone on your ears will feel heavy. 2. If you find drilling to your ears uncomfortable, well.. you should look elsewhere cause comfort matters. 3. If you have a girlfriend or a significant other, it's probably better going for another IEM as this IEM is really hard to share with others. No one wants to touch products that were already drilled into someone else's nasty ears and it's just difficult in general to share 1 plug to another with this type of drilling. 4. Sound stage and imaging can be 2-dimensional. This is what really separates the $thousands+ IEM from here. Not detailing. More of imaging and sound stage. This IEM has a soundstage of in between your two ears (aka head). Don't expect more. 5. If you want the best bass quality, opt for bassy IEM like Shure SE846. The "rumbles" don't exist with this IEM. Other than that, I wholeheartedly recommend Etymotic ER4SR at any price range under $1,000. And if you can't afford it, Etymotic ER2SE. Review: Etymotics - now with replaceable cords!! - Etymotic makes some of the best earbuds in the market. The great thing about them is they fit tight in your ear and, to me, work far better than any noise cancelling earphones I've seen. At the same time, no one can hear what you're listening to, and since the sound is so good, you can keep the volume lower so as not to damage your ears. I've owned Etymotic's for a good 10 years. The company has been fantastic to me, always replacing the cords free of charge when they break (and after owning a pair for nearly two years and brining back and forth to work in a bag, eventually they get a short). I bought the ER4SR, just released, because for the first time you can buy replacement cords for these. What an awesome idea! Even better, I haven't seen confirmation of this, but I'm fairly confident they'll offer an iPhone lightening connector version as an accessory (they'll have to with Apple's recent stupid move to get rid of the earphone hole). These earbuds are quite pricy to be sure, but they're worth it, whether you're an "audiophile" or just an average music listener, you'll feel like you're hearing your music for the first time. I cannot recommend Etymotic's enough. Highest quality, best sound, best noise reducing (pretty much passive cancelling, like ear plugs), and brand you can buy. ## Features - High performance balanced Armature drivers are precision matched to within 1 dB - Sleek, anodized, laser-etched aluminum body - Braided, reinforced 5ft detachable MMCX cables - 35-42 dB of noise isolation with a max output of 122 dB - Precision machined metal bodies with anodized finish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01GW785KQ | | Additional Features | In-Ear Monitors | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Music | | Audio Driver Type | Balanced Armature Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #40,158 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #44 in Recording In-Ear Audio Monitors #2,105 in Earbud & In-Ear Headphones | | Brand Name | Etymotic | | Built-In Media | In Ear Monitors Detachable, 5 ft. cable with 3.5mm gold plated stereo plug Assortment of eartips: 4 Dual Flange Silicone Pairs: S, M, L, XL. 2 Triple Flange Pairs: Standard and Large. and 2 Foam Pairs: Standard Filter removal tool and replacement filters to protect the BA drivers from ear wax Shirt clip Zippered storage case Channel-Matching Compliance certificate | | Cable Features | Detachable | | Carrying Case Color | Black | | Carrying Case Material | Aluminum or metal | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Cellphones | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Remote | | Control Type | Media Control | | Controller Type | Media Control | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (282) | | Earpiece Shape | Rounded tip | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum, Metal | | Frequency Range | 20 Hz – 16 kHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00846430002012 | | Headphone Folding Features | In Ear | | Headphone Jack | Detachable Connector | | Headphones Ear Placement | In Ear | | Impedance | 45 Ohms | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Type Name | Headphone | | Item Weight | 0.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Etymotic Research | | Model Name | ER4SR | | Model Number | ER4SR | | Noise Control | Sound Isolation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Sensitivity | 45 Ohm | | Series Number | 4 | | Specific Uses For Product | Professional monitoring, Audiophile listening | | Style Name | High-Fidelity | | Subject Character | no character | | Theme | Professional Audio Equipment | | UPC | 846430002012 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Years | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Etymotic - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** In Ear - **Form Factor:** In Ear - **Impedance:** 45 Ohms ## Images ![ER4SR Studio Reference Earphone,Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BgZ6-aeML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does the er4sr compare to the older er4s / er4p?** A: While both the HF and ER4 series use a balanced armature driver, the ER4S is precision matched to within 1 dB. Performance certificate is included with the ER4 series.The new ER4SR uses the same high performance drivers as the original ER4S. Both are designed to produce the most accurate sound reproduction possible. They are often used by studio recording engineers (S is for Studio Reference). The original ER4P and ER4P-T were designed for audio engineers and audiophiles on the go (P is for portable). They are tuned to maximize sound from portable music players. The new ER4SR will give you the sound accuracy you expect from the original ER4S or P with the added benefit of removable cables. If you prefer a little more in the lower frequencies, go for the ER4XR--Extended Range.Please feel to reach out to our customer service department at 888-389-6684 if you have further questions.Etymotic Research **Q: Are these flat/true for mixing on the go? If not which ones?** A: These earbuds are true and great for iPod iPhone use. Good highs and mids but a little tinty in the bass end. Nice tight buds if you use the ety cones that are supplied. Also they are number one in noise reduction!! Work or play they won’t fall out. 8 of 10! **Q: What is the difference between this xr and the sr version? thanks all!** A: Thanks very much for your question. The XR has a modest bass boost and the SR are completely flat. World Wide Stereo is 39 years old and a proud authorized Etymotic Research dealer. **Q: Do the headphones sold through amazon warehouse deals still come with the etymotic research warranty?** A: No. WiredforLess is correct. Only NEW purchases made from an AUTHORIZED Etymotic reseller will be eligible for warranty coverage. Amazon itself is NOT an authorized reseller and warehouse deals fall under used product.Not all sellers currently operating on Amazon or other online sites are authorized. If you are not certain whether or not a reseller is authorized, you are advised to first call Etymotic's Customer Service line at 888-389-6684.Etymotic Research ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Steal for the price in the IEM market *by P***O on February 3, 2020* Don't be afraid of picking in between 4SR because it's "Studio Reference".

This our families 4th pair! (my son received a pair which failed, then replaced which also failed, I am now on my second pair and they have fortunately failed inside the two year warranty window so at least etymotic has to replace this pair for free). Same issue, over time one or both of the speaker drivers become distorted, slowly reduce output, and then blow. Very frustrating as the sound quality is outstanding. Four pairs that have failed over multiple years, however, do not lie. ## Frequently Bought Together - Etymotic ER4SR Studio Reference Earphone,Black - Etymotic Research Tuning Kit for ER Series Earphone with 5 Different Filters (ER-DAMPER5PACK) - Etymotic ER2XR Extended Response Earphone, Multicolored --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/33223389-er4sr-studio-reference-earphone-black](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/33223389-er4sr-studio-reference-earphone-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
