Wow, you're up early, do you have insomnia too?
I'll give them a try. Thanks again.

My ears are just sensitive to upper midrange. It depends on the source too, of course. But I'm not a bass-head either; I do like the bass and mid-bass to be full and well articulated but in proportion.
I do love these earphones. They come as close to perfection as any headphones I've tried so far.
I do believe at first it will feel different of course...but you will see the difference in the sound
You're quite right; the difference in sound between the different tips is much more than I had thought it might be.
The foam tips (both sizes JVC supplied) were horrible. Very tinny and distant sounding and with very little if any bass.
The smaller of the silicon tips would just fall right out of my ears, so I dismissed them right off the bat.
The larger ones are kinda snug, but not really very uncomfortable until you go to take them out of your ears.
The sound on the bigger ones has possibly more bass, just as much treble and a little less harshness when the mid to upper midrange gets loud.
So either the medium ones it came with on them, or the large ones, and I'm going to keep the large ones on there for now.
I really appreciate the "tip"!

The Upper midrange and treble can be pretty hot on the 850. Try using a teabag as a filter. It was a trick used to tame the treble on the ie800.

Thanks! I think it has more to do with the revealing nature of these ear phones. I wa used to my Beyers which have a recessed upper midrange and so listening to the same music, these can come off as harsh in some spots, just by comparison.
I'll give it a try though if they keep "harshing my mellow".
