Perhaps the new joins, and I’m pretty new myself, are in connection with Jotunheim R as an amp for SR1a? That’s how I landed here.

Hi everyone!

This is my first post on the headphones forum community. I like IEMs and have written a few reviews for a number of budget ChiFi gear on reddit and on HeadFi and was interested in this more laid back community. Currently my main gear is the HD600, Sony EX1000, and ER4SR.

Hello @Fc-Construct!

I’m a big fan of your reviews on the various sites you have posted on! I even saw that you posted a review recently on my favorite online audio blog, www.antdroid.net too!!

What a coincidence it is to meet you here finally.

your #1 fan,

Welcome @Fc-Construct!

@andrew mentioned in a post (apologies, I forget specifically) using the ER4-XR for travel, I believe, and I’ve been curious about them.

To my understanding the ‘SR’ are the more neutral version.

Anyhow, enjoy the forum.

IIRC the XR stands for Xtended Response. Basically, a subbass boost to the ER4SR (standard response) which makes it less lean in the bass region.

For travel though, I’d personally be a little unsure of using a triple-flange setup on an airplane. I find the deep insert itchy and the pressure differentials during travel can be uncomfortable. But I could see myself using the foams. My last flight I used the EX1000 which is quite open back and even then I could feel the change in pressure during the flight making me want to take them off for a rest every now and then.

I’ve never liked the triple flange, I always went with the foam.

Fortunately I hardly ever fly. :laughing:

Hey there all!

I am super happy my friend @raindownthunda suggested this site, and really happy to have joined! I have been in the hobby for 3.5 years, and loving every second. I started off with the Schiit stack, of the Modi 2 Uber and Magni 2,and HD600. Since then, I have had several other headphones, and amps. I eventually found out about ZMF, Cavalli Audio, and Bottlehead and the rest is history. Currently, I have a Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC, Cavalli Audio Liquid Platinum hybrid tube amp, and a Bottlehead Crack OTL amp. The headphones I own are ZMF Aeolus and Ori, MrSpeakers Alpha Prime, and the legendary Sennheiser HD650. I love a warm, wide, and thick sound with killer bass, and it was only natural to gravitate toward ZMF. I love listening with headphones and gear, and I love to learn and talk about them, as well.

Thanks for having me,

Wes S.
