I just pulled the trigger on these from Amazon and got a $50 promo coupon for some reason. Looking forward to them.

The 4p's are so much better in the bass than the 6i's they are well worth the (almost double) price. They say on their website that the HF5's have the "Response accuracy of Etymotic's ER-4 earphones", so they should be very good. The only thing I would want to replace them with is a pair of hf2's for my iPhone. Julie, if you have a pair of those you want reviewed, send them my way!
