Can anyone comment on the fit? After ordering, I noticed that the buds on the NE-700X are slightly shorter than the NE-6. In order to get the NE-6 to seal, I have to use biflanges or Complys and insert them with the cord facing upwards so the plastic strain relief won't prevent it from going in deep enough. This way the cord just barely clears my ear canal enough to fit, so I'm concerned that the NE-700X are short enough that they won't seal for me. That would be beyond frustrating - I was really looking forward to hearing these and nothing's worse than having a great new pair of earphones that won't stay sealed for more than ten minutes at a time.
I have both of these and the fit in 700's is better. I never was able to get the NE-6 to fit right (but my son doesn't have any problems). I did have some problems at first with the 700's (using a silicone tip) but was able to figure out a good fit. I like them a good value earphone with microphone capabilities.
