Why would you even want an earbud that's open? I would pick sr60/PX100/sr80/ms1 if I was doing portable open, and IEM if I want closed.

Well, you didn't throw water on the fire for me, at least, but your comment seemed to contribute almost nothing to the discussion. Is that what you meant by 'party pooper'?
The build quality seems pretty good overall, as far as earbuds go. They aren't the prettiest earbud out there but they do have a solid feel to them, and I find them comfortable. I personally find any of the things you just listed to not be suitable for portable use for me, anyhow, and I don't like IEMs (I find them uncomfortable, and I find the majority of them don't even sound very good to me).
At least for me, something like a high quality earbud is optimal for portable use. I guess people have different preferences, though. The looks of them don't bug me at all, and actually I find the overall design to be fairly practical other than the uneven-length cords.
