I definitely would not recommend the C551, at all. My friend has a pair, and IMO, they have no soundstage to speak of, and the bass reminds me of my really bad Sony clip-ons.

The RE2 isolates very well with the included biflanges. The bass is nice and tight, though might need some EQing for a few people. I haven't tried them with Comply tips, though.
I can't comment on the CK7, because I haven't tried them.
