Seems a pity there isn't more feedback here on yurbuds; think I recall your interest but massive delivery cost direct from suppliers put you off.
Anyways better let you get on with some listening now. Thanks for reply

I never thought of trying this. I`m going to try with my sennheisers and then with some unused apple buds.

very nice review bro...

so..the 9wave is made of just plastic, but by looking at the pic, it looks like a solid aluminum earbud...

i really wish i could transplant my OMX980 drivers into a more comfortable shell.  The longer i have them the more they are bugging me.  not only would a better fit be way more comfortable, but they capability, particularly in the bass department would absolutely flourish if they could be inserted more uniformly, and get a better seal. 

though they do sound pretty darn good for earbuds, im still not satisfied.  i keep going back to my klipsch s4's even they are not the greatest around either.  simply b/c they are more comfortable, and give me more bass while maintaining all the other endearing qualities of the 980's.  

If it werent for the fact that I require outside noise to be heard during parts of my day i dont think i'd keep the 980's at all.. maybe im just in a mood.. but there you have it.

cant it be done thru the help of UNIQUE MELODY???

i may have to look into those 9wave plastics when the come out. 

also still waiting for you to get your hands on the blox tm5's

i get the feeling this is all going to be irrelevant soon.  once my jh3a FINALLY arrives, im not going to be able to stand anything else anyway. ;-)

On the mx980 comfort issues... They are really big to stay put in the best position to give you its sound capabilities fully, but there are things you can do to balance sound. The first set I had, sounded  really bright with little bass because of fit, so Chrisjackson suggested me to use two foam sleeves, I did that and the sound was amazing!

you may want to try that too.

On the Final Audio... Worst earbud I had.

Jumped on a decent deal for the ATH-EC700GM (€109) and I can say these are highly recommended. Excellently balanced, refined and soundwise pretty much on par with my ATH-CM700ti, but with much better ergonomics. I don't know whether these would qualify as earbuds, since the have clips, but compared to the ATH-CM700ti earbuds, which tend to wiggle loose at the slightest movement, these stay put very securely and comfy during any kind of activity. Check out this review, it's pretty much spot-on IMO.

Definitely winners, if you can get them at a good price - just watch out for fakes...

Here in Greec the MX980 cost only 114 euros....Very strange

It's normal price for them in Europe. Here in UK they are for 96£,which is around 110 euro.

But it got cheaper now to those prices. It was more expensive few months ago.
