By any chance do you know how the CX380 compares to the CX300?

Joker did you remember how the phonak audeo compares with q-jays?
Also i read in many reviews of the cc51 including yours (i think) that you dont suggest them for people with small ear canals. I read in your review than it has a 5mm nozzle and brainwavz series 5.5mm which is very common for many especially dynamic drivers. If the cc51 has slightly smaller nozzle than a very comon nozzle size like the brainwavz M1's why you say it might be big for some?
@ib1dance, the e-Q5 are less than ideal for running, I'd look into the GR10 or FI-BA-A1 instead. Very similar sound signature and much more secure over-ear fit.
Q-Jays are much more dry and emphasize texture over liquidness/smoothness. I guess relative balance would depend on the filters used but with black filters the PFEs still lost out to the q-JAYS in bass presence. From memory I think the q-jays are also a bit more resolving and slightly warmer than PFE w/black filters.
As for the CC51, unless MEElec has somehow managed to fit a 6mm driver in a 5mm chamber, that's a mistake on my part. Fixed it now - thanks.
None of the MA based eaprhones I've heard are bass monsters by anyone's standards. They would be polite to many but what they do have is great texture, detail, decay and resolution in the bass and well in the mid range and treble as well.
"Dynamic drivers are relatively uncommon in IEM’s (although are the staple driver type in ear-buds). Because they are able to move more air, bass reproduction is better than balanced armature drivers, however they cannot move as fast, meaning intricate details (including those within the bass range) may be lost."

I see you are talking about the black filters so i guess that greens have even less bass. Thats not actually a problem. Well there is no problem. Just trying to figure out other sound signatures. Maybe the more smoothness of the Pfe will be something i will like.
Anyway 6mm is not that big afterall. It must be close to the brainwavz i guess
Not a clue.
Thank you. I need a new pair of workout IEM so a new search starts. Out of all the models you have tested do you have a recommendations(I think you may have the record for most headphones reviewed)? The CX30-II worked alright in this respect but on some songs dare I say I found it to be a bit bright and fatiguing, which isn't a good thing when working out. I would prefer the same SQ as the CX300 but with bit more balance, & instrument separation/sound stage.
I tried dance music once, but realised that I really do prefer women.
