I actually like that smell.

Anyway, nice write-up, very informative.

A great comparative review. It makes me wish that I had bigger ear canals!

(Assuming that mine are on the smaller side based on various levels of discomfort and dislodging of past earbuds, etc.)

If I use the small single flanges on the sony type canal phones, would I have fit issues using the bi flanged RE1?

The big bi-flanges might not fit well if you have small canal, but RE1 does come with small bi-flanges and Sony style single flanges, but them provide less isolation.

I think I may have found the EX700s true niche...

Unless my ears are completely screwed up (which I will not rule out lol) - The EX700s go very well with the Touch headphone out (32GB version, just incase v1.5 had any changes to the output)

Pretty much all traces of the harsh treble are gone
