Same here actually. They are fairly light, and because they don't need deep insertion, they seem less intrusive and feel quite comfortable (using a cable clip always).

 
 
   
 
I must say, even though the cks1000 have a big footprint in they dont stick out that much. comfort-wise they are surprisingly more comfortable than most phones for me, im sure the right tips will make a difference. no complaints here in that department... unless you have a hood. 

 
My main concern is if they somehow don't fit comfortably in my ears, returning them will be a bit problematic with me having to get them shipped from Japan -> UK.

YMMV, I, as the resident "mutant ears" member, with fit problems on almost every iem slightly off from the "bullet" shape, didn't have an easy time with fit on these, eventually got it usable with Complys. I'd think someone you can deal more locally with, like Amazon or similar, would be safer (unless you are like DS, who almost never met an iem that didn't fit...)

They fit everyone but me, again. Let me tell what my problems with it are, someone out there will likely have a similar problem. They look small in the picture, and, in fact they are small. The part you don't see, with the tip, is small indeed. So small, I find it difficult to get a seal in the ear canal, and the round outer chamber doesn't allow you to push it in any more. Wide tips help some, Complys help some, still not completely comfortable for me (I'm in a minority here for sure, but, could be someone else who feels the same). They are nice when a good seal is acheived (lots of comments on that in the thread). I may have to go back to Ety's...along with the Tenores, the easiest fit for me. (found them unreliable, though, just died on me...also hate the filters).

Yeah my Bassos are completely stuffed now. Any ideas on replacement? I like the sound signature. Do I buy another pair of Carbo Bassos or is there something else I should consider?

Final Audio Design Heaven IV is a huge step up with a similar signature.

really curious about this Final Audio Design, but it is pricy...the Heaven V's seem to get a  lot of notice.

Raking those #%^#@&^$^ leaves this afternoon, listening to M-K Mykros 90. Again, very nice, this time from ipod touch/LOD/National, good buy imo (not for bassheads)
