Can anybody tell me if the Shure e5's (that came in the violet rectangular box) where ever shipped from Shure with BLACK wires? Thanks..

I've read the thread and reviews on the iM-390's but there was a question there asking about the iM-490s that was never answered. Has anyone here tried the iM-490's and can you provide some feedback? The Maximo site indicates these are "tuned for Sansa" DAP, but it doesn't say exactly...
