Know before you buy
This cable acts as an impedance adapter that changes the sonic signature of your ER4P or ER4P-T headphones to match the ER4S standard. It effectively increases the response accuracy from 86% to 92% for a more neutral, reference-grade sound.
No, this cable is specifically engineered for Etymotic ER4P and ER4P-T models. It is designed to work with the specific impedance requirements of those headphones and will not provide the same results with other brands.
The gold-plated, right-angle plug is designed to reduce strain on your device's headphone jack and prevent the cable from snagging. The gold plating also helps ensure a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection over time.
Yes, because this adapter increases the impedance of your headphones, you will likely need to turn up the volume on your source device to achieve the same listening level you had before. This is a normal trade-off for the increased accuracy and clarity provided by the ER4S configuration.
