Well, at least I'm not crazy... I'll keep experimenting, thanks!

A lot of people who have never heard an Ety associate them with being bright and bass light. Some are definitely on the bass light side, but none are actually bright. Etys have a really good mid-range though, that’s what they should be known for.

You may be able to add some brightness with a little EQ.

Coming from the S12, the Etymotics surely taught me a lesson on the difference between bright and neutral! Although bass sounds really nice to me with the XR. I'm definitely considering EQ too (I basically only use the T3+ "stock") but only once I'm confident I got the hang of the "Etymotic ear insertion" 😅 Not totally there yet... Thanks again!

I have the ER4SR, but I enjoy the Hexa and Timeless AE more. I’ll keep them around though. I like having a few different flavors around.
