That's been the price for more than a month. Same for the ER3 series for 69.99.

Ordered the ER4XR and just got it few days ago. If you're on the fence, just do it. Amazing headphones.
I've had the ER2XR for a while now and read posts saying the 4 isnt an upgrade from the 2, it's just different (since one is dynamic driver, one is BA). That's a lie. The 4XR is just a massive jump in clarify and detail all the way through. Separation is better and there's 0 noise or distortion whatsoever. I also find the bass on XR to be just right- good punch and good presence without taking away from the clarity of the rest of the presentation. Was on the fence since I have the XR version of 2 and thought it might be good to have the variety, but they still sound quite distinct and I'm glad I went with XR.
Had been going back and forth between the ER2XR (for fit) and Moondrop Starfield (for musicality) before but these I'm happy to just use exclusively.

One comment on Etymotic's deep canal/flange ear tips. If they are not uncomfortable to you, they have got to be the best passive "noise cancellation" earphones you can get. In an office/plane/crowd environment, you will basically hear nothing but your music. I would actually advise against wearing them while running/biking because I don't think you would hear a car about to hit you.

Quote from kookie00 :
Sound-wise these are really neutral. I enjoyed them for rock and techno. If you are a bass-head or used to beats, you will probably be disappointed.

I used to be pretty loyal to ER, but have moved on. They do not have a great build quality (the cord in particular) and I have had too many ear tips get stuck in my ear.
I feel the same way about loyalty and build quality issues. The cord on my hf3 has failed twice in a row now. Who else makes amazing passive isolation in ear buds ???


Deal is dead in case anyone is still looking.
