I'm currently using A50s for the same reason, because they're wireless. So far it has been great for me. SQ is acceptable, but obviously not worth 300$. I'd never listen to music on this, but it does gaming very well. Battery life is about 6-7 hours for me  

Astros sound decent, but not 300$ decent (probably around 150$). I have a pair of them, and the only reason I have them is due to the fact that it's wireless. They'll definitely sound "fuller" than the Q701s, but won't compete in terms of overall quality.

Quote: Yep the only reason why I retired my EX1000s temporarily is due to the wind noise. Otherwise they almost disappear once you put them on.

I don't miss my MTPCs now that I have the fxt90. Even my beloved EX1000s are going back into the box. Cheap enough to be an everyday IEM, and sounds good enough for it not to be a compromise.

If anyone does want a pair of these from Futureshop. I managed to pick up two yesterday. Using one for myself at the moment and absolutely love them. Let me know if you guys want me to pick up some more! 

Quote: +1 to this. I hated all their supplied tips.

Do you only purchase IEMs with your preferred sound signature of choice (warm, cold, neutral, v-shaped, etc.)?  -No I prefer to have each of my IEMs to be unique in their signatures. Do you only purchase IEMs with various sound signatures to have a variety in your collection? -Yes Do you...

For some reason..I like my CK10s A LOT. Even more so than my EX1000 and MTPCs.

Quote: Maybe I picked up the last one You can't get more than 1 FYI

Headphone bar would be a great place to start, although I'm not sure if they have IEMs to try for hygienic reasons..

There's your problem

Quote: The stock tips don't have any filters either. The CK10s don't have exposed nozzles either so ear wax is not a problem.

Quote:   AND you can tell the difference between them  

That's a disgrace to the wood  

In the process of reducing your chances of going bankrupt, I'm sure this review has increased the chance of many others like myself of going bankrupt   This has been on my purchase list for some time now. Sort of split between buying this or a pair of spanking K701s

Quote: I don't know but the OP just seems to feel exactly the opposite of what everyone else thinks...   but yeah my 840s makes it feel like I'm putting a rock on top of my head..

Quote: Shures are sort of the jack of many things, but they don't offer the forwardness and energy of the Grados    

Only difference      

Quote: IIRC he had about a half a dozen threads to help himself affirm the purchase of the 750DJs. I'm not surprised

Quote: Exactly. As so many other people have already told you in the other thread you created pretty much on the same subject.   I think the 225i's are pretty good for someone on a budget as well. BUT, considering that he thinks the 840s are harsh, I can't imagine what the grado sound...

Bugden Audio says the DBA-02 is currently on backorder

For me it's true, because my first pair of IEMs was the Shure e2c. Every time I go back to listening to those, not sure if it's nostalgia, but they sound absolutely perfect every time.  

Yes JR ships to canada

I have gigantic ears and they cover most of it. So it's safe to say they'll cover the whole ear for most people
