Not sure why you are trying compare IEM with over head cans.
Proper comparison should be with other mid-level BA(Balanced Armature) IEM set as Shure, Westone or Campfire etc.
I own for some time ER4XR and trade them due to need deep insertion to achieve proper seal. Also ER4XR made in USA and ER3XR in China. Good luck with warranty issues, not the best company to deal with.
Huge difference of category there mate.
I personally don't have Fidelio x2hr. I do have a Sennheiser HD590, HE400i, Denon AHD2000, AHD1200. The biggest difference is the soundstage. You just can't compare with a moderately good open headphone with a earphone. Now I don't have a high end earphone to compare so I am strictly talking about ER2XR and ER3XR. I do like to listen to ER3XR sometimes due to its clarity and its size. When I am at work and typing? Er3xr all the way.

For Samsung Buds Plus. I haven't tried it so I can't comment. I can't imagine a BT earbud having a better sound than ER3XR tho. Now ER3XR does not have a heavy bass. It has a very tight bass with precise sound. So it really comes down to a preference. Most people would not think ER3XR has a great bass. And I think most people use BT earbuds for its ease of use rather than its sound. I have a separate BT receiver for just earphone use. I really want the days when phones had 3.5mm jacks.

And trust me, there will be nothing better than this at $70. Maybe SHP9500?

How's the bass between the 2r and 3r?
ER2XR has a more pronounced bass than ER3XR.
However, since 3XR has more clarity, bass is more discernable.

My er2se, er2xr, and er3xr are made in vietnam. My er4xr is made in the usa.

I just bought ER4XR for $129.99. How does ER3XR compare with ER4XR? Should I return and buy this instead if price isn't the decision factor?

It's hard to say, since it's about what you prefer. The er3xr is going to have more bass, but less treble than the er4xr. I find that I usually prefer the er4xr as the er3xr is a bit less detailed than what I prefer. If you have the itch to try something else, the moondrop aria that I mentioned is worth checking out. I have far too many IEM's and the etymotics, the thieaudio legacy 3 & 4, and the aria are my favorites. I hope that helps.

Thanks for your comment. I'm considering returning the er4xr and get moondrop aria.

I got these on a whim from this slickdeals offer...they sound excellent. I'm used to using Bluetooth now (xm4s) and while wireless has its own advantages, these sound incredible for music.
