Shell; smoked black, faceplate; clear, tips; red and blue is what my order
confirmation (and what I ordered) says.
When I get home I'll take better photos and post.

Can I marry a non-organic object? I love
my Miracles.

Yeah, take few more pics because the initial pic doesn't betray the color you told here.
 
Oh, and send the babies to me if you marry Miracles.

OK, you can have a baby 

 
My photos compared to yours are the difference between $12 Skullcandy's and Miracles!
 
With these new shots you can see they are definitely smokey black shells with clear plates.
 
 

 

 
I am really digging these. I just bought FT! 334s about 2 weeks ago and have to A/B the two BUT I think I'll like the Miracles better. The reason I can see for using the 334s instead is, if I use IEMs outside of the house and airplanes, some sound will be able to get thru. The Miracles give me 98% isolation whereas the 334s about 85%.
 
For me to give you my impressions of sound for these two would be ridiculous when we have the Joker, Shigzeo, and a whole host of other experienced audiophiles describing what they hear.  
 
Right now I want to say Miracles 10/10 vs 334s 9.5/10
I want to say this but I'll wait to spend more time with both. 

 
I can talk about fit. The first two hours had me concerned. Right side is p e r f e c t, left side the shell is tight against a small area of outside cartilage, causing soreness. After removal, maybe 5 minutes feeling normal. 2ND use, 2.20 hours, with a little adjustment by lightly pulling/pushing away from tender area.......no soreness at all.  3Rd time, right now, 20 minutes and a bit of soreness same spot, the adjustment again and soreness gone. Fingers crossed this will be it, the first time molds are the ones.

^^that clear faceplate shows good amount of innards
 
Never knew you had 334 too. It will be nice to have some casual comparative impressions of both along with the setup used for that and your personal sound signature and presentation preference.
 
For me, I can't think of going back to universals now. Isolation and fit is much better. Above else Miracles are quite versatile for my music collection. I can live with single IEM now.
 
I too have left earpiece quite tight against the flap above Concha but that only comes into equation while inserting these.

I preferred my miracles over the 334. Better instrument seperation as well as bigger soundstage. Though the 334s were not bad though.

As they say, once you go customs you'll never go back to universals. The fit and sound is just fantastic. Add that custom design of yours.

For personal listening yes. However, i do regret the fact that i just cant share the sound quality with any of my friends/family members. That's where universal trumps customs, haha.
 
Perhaps i should go to headphones...
 

 

[Rainman26]

I completely agree with you, customs eliminates sharing music.

It has its own advantages too. I have seen way too many people borrowing earphones and then not taking good care of them. I care for minute details and perfection.

Man, do I feel fortunate, foolish, and inadequate. I must be the luckiest guy on the planet. What? No, I did not forget to take my meds. LOL
 
I got focused on a song the other day while checking out the Miracles, Rush "Fly By Night" remastered. I've listened to it with the Miracles many times since Thursday. I've been hearing it in my head for a few days and finally HAD to try with the 334s. Here's the inadequate part......the 334s do a fantastic job with it as well. I'm not sure I can say which is better!
 
I know this: For flying on Airplanes it will be the Miracles 1001% because of the ability to block out ALL outside sound when in and music playing, and almost all when just inserted.
                  For using in public places, not in Airplanes, it has to be the 334s so that some sound can get thru.
The rest of the time?????????
 
My poor UM3X's are relegated to 'just in case' status. LOL At lest that's the case at this point in time

I also agree that the Miracle is slightly better than the TG334, especially in regards to separation and imaging.
 
However it should be noted that both of them have different aims in sound, and of course they are both excellent in their own rights.
 
 
Here are some pictures of my Miracle.

Those are beauts! Hey, maybe we can have a Miracle beauty pagent or art contest. LOL Really these things are works of art.
 
Would you care to share your thoughts on the aims or each? 
 
Yes, I can agree with your impression about separation. I'm not sure what imaging means? If it means depth I think the soundstage is wider.

From HF's Glossary page:
"Imaging - The sense that a voice or instrument is in a particular place in the room."
 
I already wrote my comparison in the TG334 thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/597146/fitear-to-go-334-suyamas-custom-iem-made-universal/540#post_8547913
 
And thanks for your compliments!
