Amazing Isolation and Great Tuning
The ERX are great IEMs if you're looking for something with a detailed, mostly neutral tuning, and amazing isolation. I will mention though, I like how deep in my ears Etymotic products sit as that's something that allows them to block so much noise. If you're reading this and don't like deep seated IEMs, you should probably look for something else. With that said, these are really comfortable Etymotics. They included plenty of tips, and the use of the sturdy EVO shell design is welcome as they conform to my ears unlike the barrel shaped shell used in the normal ER series. The new shell also allows for the cable to loop over my ears instead of sticking straight out, which was a huge reason why I bought these despite having another pair of Etymotic IEMs. In terms of structure and fit actually, the ERX fixes all the issues I had with my ER2se (including the noisy cable those had). Now, for sound: I love how these are tuned. I generally like neutral/bright sound signatures, hence why I opted for ER2se before this, and these are just a touch warm of neutral. They're well balanced. The midrange is detailed, and the slight bump in bass adds just a little bit of extra life to songs without being distracting or overly coloring the sound. The treble doesn't disappoint either; cymbals still shine like they should. The main reason I got Etymotic IEMs is for isolation and for their neutral tuning, and these are the most isolating IEMs I have ever used. I originally got my ER2se for use while playing drums, and while those did a great job, the ERX is even better. The isolation they provide allows me to hear my bandmates and myself in the mix, without having to turn up the headphone volume, even if I'm playing really loud. I love these for that. Even outside that specific use case though, the ERX is fast becoming my favorite IEM, even just for casual listening. They're comfortable, well isolating, and sound great. I don't think I can ask for more.

T.FernandezSure thing, I'm using the medium double flanged tips. I've listened to the ERX through my phone, my DAPs (Activo ct10 and Fiio m5), my schiit modi/magni, and through my Tascam model 12 mixer. They sound great on all of them.
