That is it, I am getting myself a pair!
----------------------------------------------------------
Side note, I am NOT a fan of EQing anymore. I usually listen to my earbuds with a flat EQ, but for fun I bumped up the bass with the MusicMaker TP16 and I am having a LOT of fun with Die Antwoord's new album "Mount Ninji And Da Nice Time Kid".

A good choice I think, I've had my MX98s on the burn machine for a little over a week now, and enjoyed using it out of the box too.
I have to admit I am EQ junkie and no amount of rehab will keep me from boosting that sub bass up
I don't remember if you have a Cygnus, either way, it's really a baby Cygnus.

My only warning about them is if you already own the Cygnus, and you don't want a possibly redundant set of earbuds, then you can skip on them.
If you like the Cygnus but don't want to spend $70 or whatever it is, they're damn good for $30. The Cygnus is a little better in every way but the MX98s holds up great.
If you don't have a Cygnus and have been wavering on getting one, or used to have one, the MX98s a great buy.
P.S. don't take it for granted how nice it is having a blue earbud for right and a red earbud for left!

this morning I listen to my she3800 and comparing it to RX-1 on some track. she3800 obviously the darkest sounding of anything I own. the highs are somewhat attenuated. I had muddy bass in iem / headphnoe before but somehow she3800 seems presenting something different too.
with track by Liber - Czyste szaleństwo, with my balance or bright iem or earbud, I can hear the chant and crowd in the background but with she3800, I can feel like I'm actually hear the chant and crowd IN THE STADIUM.

I gave to my friend for audition and he doesn't like it very much because of recessed vocal with rock track

Same impressions I got with mine. SHE3800 accentuates that reverb/surround experience. Does well for tracks that have a lot of these background elements (opera, orchestra with lots of violins/cello, some R&B stuff etc) as it makes it sound very fluid and expansive, as though you're in a concert hall. I still have mine burning in to see if the sound signature changes.
I'm more of a clarity guy so these probably won't be for me. Will see how they fare after some burn in.

I don't agree BEFORE but I am NOW. Cygnus has just the right sound sig that my ears favor. A little bit improvement in soundstage and openness of space then it will be perfect for me. My Zen 2.0, Edimun and the rest in my collection are sleeping in my bag. Next stop will be the Shozy BK and I might try either the TP16 or 1more Piston since they are not that expensive to have. Still dreaming to hear the Blox TM7 one day wondering why it's in the top spot of the list. I had the BE7 and still have the BE3 but I don't find anything fantastic with them so far.

I have a BE5 and it's awfully similar to the mid 90's Sony high end earbud sound. That's probably my favorite thing about it.

To which Zen are you referring to?
And what is Liber doing in Malaysia?
I just notice TP16 actually have mic. Can ask without mic instead? the thing is my SGS can't handle mic (TRRS) without modification or adapter. still can't get the right adapter. or perhaps someone can show me the right adapter? when used with TRRS the sound echoes and I had to press the mic button indefinitely to get the proper stereo

A small tip for you guys. Closing the vents with a tiny bit Blutac does broaden the soundstage by reducing the mid-bass. The midrange sits back slightly along with faster bass attacks and more subbass presence thus the sound becomes more balanced through the spectrum. Well, it worked very well on my Monks. It may also work on the other earphones using the same shell design. Just my two cents. 
Blue thing in the picture is blue Blutac.
