I think that the tips that come with MHC1 are wider bored compared to sony hybrids, right? use them on XB90EX too :) or you could get Meelec tips, one of these:
 
http://www.meelec.com/category_s/383.htm
 
currently I'm using tips that came with my able planet and are really similar to the meelecs' but meelec tips are even more comfortable, because of the more bubbled shape :) as for meelecs, someone said somewhere here that clear tips are better for treble response, so I would get those. heck, I'd get those tips ASAP, just saving for the JVC FXZ100
 
almost forgot - I asked the same question about foam tips and people here didn't really recommend them - said that they are bad for high frequencies...


I disagree about the meelec tips. I bought the clear ones and when I got them, they fit loose on the xb90ex.
It's true that the bore is wider but the part that fits on the nozzle of the iem is also wider. It's actually about the same size as the ones that come with the fx40.
I'm not the kind that spends money on tips. I tried that just to make the xb90s worth it.
They did open up the sound quite a bit. But like I said. The fit is loose so it ended up stuck in my ear when I pulled out the xb90s just like the fx40 tips. After that one occurrence, I simply took it out, cleaned them, and put them back in the plastic bag. They're sitting in my drawer. So are the xb90s.

 
 
Here is a link where H2OFidelity explains how to fix the loose foam tips problem that you are talking about:

You do that and you may get a tight fit on those foam tips that otherwise would have a loose fit.

everyone seems to mentioning replacement tips, no mention of the V-Moda tips? opinions...?

I'm usually a level-headed sounding guy but these phones will make me rave even more than the nutman because they are actually technically superior to everything I've heard and "measured"!

Never thought in a million years would an iem take Joe away from his SHE3580. This is a first. The funny thing is I posted on the MP8320 thread about these MH1C and guys be like what is that? Only if they knew.

And now we await joker's crown to make it a quadruple honor.

 
How does one even go about getting a crown in joker's thread?  By beating the UM Miracle?

Actually I'm finding the down-splitting j-cord and mic very ergonomic. What you do is put the shirt clip on some way below the j split. Then when you use the phones, first loop the right bud around your neck and adjust the cable position so that the left and right buds will hang down your neck at equal height when you let them loose. THEN you clip the clip on your shirt at the position it finds itself in. The shirt clip will then secure the phones in a very comfortable listening position and very handy resting position (hanging just below your neck, always ready to be put on and not getting in the way of things). The down splitting j cord also puts the mic in front near your mouth when you put on the left bud, making people hear your voice better.

I think i hear the tweeter you speak of, will give it a few hours.
I do believe the sony xb90s give an amazing sense of space in comparison. The adagio 3 are said to have an amazing soundstage as well. How would you compare the two?


XB90s are more deeper in stage and fairly wide too for in ears but the Adagios more wider... This being said. I would save up for the new JVC earphones due out this month..Report is. Those will have an amazing amount of stage. I just saw a post on the XBA-3 thread from Currawong mentioning how people who love the XBA-3 are gonna love the new JVCs. He was very impressed with the FXZ200 .  I am all about them now.
 
I was so close to pulling the trigger for a CKS99. I will eventually get one but. Right now my attention is all about the JVCs. I simply cant wait.

I'm all about them too :D though, I think I'll opt for the cheaper version - want more "balanced sound, I already have bass heavy relaxed iem...
