Wow I don't know if it's actual or mental burn-in but it feels like they've gotten much brighter somehow. Great! I was getting a little worried there.

These things have been in my ears for the last 6 hours. They're not nearly as comfortable as my ER4 which I literally listen to 24/7. These hurt, but they sound sooo good I don't wanna take them out... so I've been enduring the discomfort for the last couple hours. lol

 
Well, it seems rational to think that anything stuck in your ear for 6 hours is going to start irritating you, haha. I can sit on a La-Z-Boy Recliner for 6 hours and my a** will start to hurt.

Now THAT was funny.

Jessica Alba could sit on my... six hours.... oh, forget it. It would hurt - but it would probably be OK.

 Really? You never talk to people?

I just switched to wearing them under the ear. It feels much better. I turned out, it was only relieved because I didn't have it in as deep.

Okay, maybe not literally literally.

You should do some serious tip rolling then. You should be able to find some that are very comfy with these. I use the small tips from my ele s6. Try Sony hybrids, I know they are popular with these. I also have small/medium canals, though not too narrow.

Really?? Guess I must have golden ears, then. The difference for me is often subtle, but I definitely notice it.

Same. The difference is obviously only slight, but it's more than worth it if you have a hard drive with enough capacity and earphones/headphones that actually deliver the extended range and clarity.

5 months later and these little guys continue to impress. Just got done listening to Zeppelin's Celebration Day Live. Jason Bonham's drums and the soundstage...oh my!

Using the large stock biflange right now. The comfort is amazing! Probably just as good as my ER4S with modded triple-to-double-flange. Oh yeeaaa!

It's soundstage is... criminal. I have no idea an IEM could have such an out-of-the-head soundstage... yet at the same time be so intimate sounding! Ridiculous. It makes the ER4S's soundstage extremely small and narrow in comparison.

Haha what were you using before?

That's because the ER4 has one of the smallest soundstages of any IEM that I've heard (in the 100+ price range)

So I've been really enjoying my 400's but when listening to them today, I played some stuff that had some very low synth bass, and the bass in the very low registers started breaking up a tad displaying harmonics that shouldn't be there..   Bass guitars were fine, but this very low synth bass posed some problems.   I'm running the 400's straight out of an ipod shuffle, so my question is this.   Is it the driver that is causing the problems, or is the amp in the shuffle clipping?   I don't own any portable amps to check this out....................yet.

If you link me to the songs, I can check tomorrow. I don't own them yet, but I have access to a demo model of the RE-400s at my job. (which is why I can comment on them, because at this point I've clocked well over 6 hours listening to them). But I can plug them into my Arrow 4G. I'll probably do it with my lackluster Galaxy Nexus, but it should be enough to test for clipping.

Majority of androids including GN is more than decent with Neutron player. In fact, my Voodoo'ed androids are better than cheap desktop setups.
