Compared to the reference Etymotic ER4P:
Bass:
The E4c has greater impact and fullness in the bass. It's the difference between pounding on a small drum and pounding on a medium sized one.
Mids:
The E4c have mids too forward to be considered neutral, but in a pleasing way. The downside to this is the sound seems rather flat and 2D.
Treble:
The E4c has noticable treble rolloff compared to the ER4P, and even dare I say the Westone UM2s. This is especially noticable with cymbals where the E4c lacks the "sheen" of the former two, and even sounds a bit dull.
Other:
The E4c has excellent sibilance control. You will be hard pressed to hear any significant sibilance on even the most sibilant of tracks.
