FYI the midrange did work itself out after some more burn in. I definitely found myself dreading taking these out as I walked to my car after class on Friday.

Why did you dread it...? Sound that bad?

Hmm, right after I bought the RE0, too. Of course, I have no idea how the sound compares, but the SA1 are beautiful.

Read it again. acencsu dreaded taking them out (of his/her ears), because they sounded so good.

Ah... Good call. Not sure why I was thinking he was taking them out of his bag to listen to while driving. Lol. Dangerous!

Had to order a set. Will post impressions as soon as I have a handle on their sound characteristics.

Okay, so I plunged the needle in today with an order of these (I considered it way back on page one). The addiction continues. Something about that $79 price point, though I am not going to buy the RE0. I was also an early fan of the SA6, but after some durability issues with my pair, I moved on to the W3s and UM3Xs. Now, the S4s are delivering in a big way for $79, so why not the SA1s?
