ACS have said they have had a single customer who was unhappy with the protruding earphone body. They actually remade the sleeve for that customer to reduce the effect and they were happy with the result.

Based on this information we're going to be adding these earphones to the compatibility list (with a note to explain the issues).
Woohoo! Thanks for looking into this for me/us Shaun, really appreciate it.
I'll be putting in my order via your site ASAP (I see you've updated the page already...!).
Cheers,
