I wouldn't really be thinking of upgrading if the build quality was a bit better, especially the strain relief at the jack.

and that reminds me - why doesn't anyone give these babies a chance? it's like only three guys have it here - me, swimsony and tinyman (or smth, forgot his name). these sound absolutely fantastic - the detailing and separation is really good, the are quite speedy and the bass is the best thing I've heard so far (hope the sonys are better :D). really busy rock passages is a breeze for these. hip-hop is a piece of cake. trance and the likes - you don't wan't to listen that with these babies at night as you will give up sleep to indulge some more. :D I mean it, these are the first iems that make me want to listen to forever. vocals, both male and female sound great, opera is awesome on these. as is classical  orchestra music. just put on dvoraks 9-th symphony and you'll be immersed in sound.
recently, I've ben reading a review of sorts on etymotic hf series and the guy gave an example of how detailed those were buy saying that he could distinguish a strange noise, like a baby crying, in Patricia Barbers witchcraft from Live: A fortnight in france, at 2:11 mark. guess what? I can also hear it without trying to hear it - it's clearly there. but to me it sounds more like 1.5 second long "disappointed" yawning sound of a woman. correct me if I'm wrong LOL
