I spoke to Monster support this morning because the included supertips that came with my Coppers are only med & lg. Support told me that they have been getting many requests for additional sizes and to keep a lookout as more sizes are probably on the way. The medium super tips sound perfect but...

  Quote: Totally agree. The coppers are the exact opposite of the EX700's in that insertion depth changes on the low end on the coppers, high end on the Sony. I think that's why so many reviews of the Sony complain about shrill high end. I changed tips and it cleared up completely...

I have to say, surprisingly well. The coppers have better detail, not as much hiss, but the EX700's aren't as outclassed as most folks would think. The lack of detail gives them a more laid back sound but the overall balance is there. The coppers are just resolving the music better. Not too...

Had these for a few hours now and I'm playing the "which tip works best" game. Man, I thought my Sony EX700's were sensitive to changing tips, but these Coppers are CRAZY.

I think I'll burn mine in for a while longer before I consider any mod. Sony deserves some credit for producing a phone that can even resolve the frequency range that I'm hearing. Knock their oddball design, but you can't argue with the physics. A 16mm driver is moving A LOT of air in your ear...

Sid, You were clear about the J-cable (I actually don't mind them at all). I was curious if the "LP" version of these phones has the extension cable. Search for the EX700SL and you'll see what I mean. Thanks for the reply!

Question about the cable. Does it have a shorty with an extender or a fixed length? I know the EX700SL has the former, but Sony's website is a bit unclear about the LP.
