Why are the tips like that? What are the "megatips"?

Anyone knows where I can buy this, the CKW-1000 and CKM-1000 are no more, decided no to go ahead with them due to their bassy nature.

The coating for my EX1000 started cracking and falling after less than one yr. *** Sony for this bad quality, otherwise they are great iem's for the sounding.

Are you talking about the wording on the IEM? I had that start to flake off in just a few days of usage . Totally unacceptable for an IEM of its price. Plus the warranty support is a joke. I'm wondering how hard it is though to get replacement cables because I don't see any around.

Yeah the paint can chip. Mine never got worse at least, and it only happened on the underside. Never happened with the EX600.

The wordings started fading only after a couple of days and they were long gone. I am now talking about the coating on the plastic. Made in Japan? What a joke!

Wow I thought they were made of metal? Well my opinion still stands on the warranty bit. They should all come with a standard 2 year warranty and the cables should be much more available. Pretty much they shot themselves in the foot with all this.

They are. Magnesium. That's where the paint always chips at for some reason.

Any info on Sony's next flagship IEM's to replace the EX1000? My understanding the EX1000 has been discontinued.
 
Nonetheless, the EX1000's are great phones.

Yup, they're magnesium, so the wear should be mostly a cosmetic issue. I do agree on the cables however, the logic of removable cables without the availability of spare parts escapes me.

... to change the cables (shorter / longer)
 
Still prefer paintet Mag vs. colored plastic. Signs of wear are only patina for me (still got none).

So Sony is not planning to release next gen of flagship IEM's to replace the EX1000 any time soon?
