At the risk of sounding like a shill... I still like the RE0's and Thinksound Rains for under $100. I'm also a Grado sound aficionado and those 2 have quite a bit of detail for the price. For the seal, you can always buy after market or replacement tips and use those tips that you prefer. I used my UE tips on my friend's RE0's and they work fine. Sometimes the connecting diameter is different but because it's rubber, there's some play involved.

I was taking a look at the REO's, folks really give them pretty good praise.

Has any of ya tried the Etymotic HF5s. Looking at their graph they are real close to the ER-4s.

I think I'm going to buy some Etymotic HF 5's today. I too would be curious if anyone else has tried this model? Thanks.

I did end up buying a set. I've had them for a while now and am quite pleased with them.

Great! Thanks for the input. They are $115 on amazon which seems to be a good price.

I haven't experienced any fraying of the cable. Their CS is equal to Axioms which is a plus.
