Totally agree with everything you said. The secret, for me, to get the best out of these Philips has been to use the rockbox firmware on my sansa clip along with the comply's T500 tips. Burning them in for around 30 hours and tweaking the sound using the rockbox settings has tamed the peakiness of the treble and allowed me to get a pretty damn impressive sound out of something that cost $9. The bass and sub-bass coming out of these are shockingly good especially with the comply tips. I've got a pretty good collection of headgear, but I'm at my happiest when I find something inexpensive that punches above its weight and to me, that's what these Philips do. Nice review, thanks!
