Hi, finally got few time to test them !, this is just my Impression, not review thread like some here can do, also as I don't feel enough capacity to describe sound like some of my impression will be more to compare one IEM from another one.
First, about my impression about lack of bass i feel on ClarityOne and maybe too on UE700 it was more the fact to listen 99% full headphone then IEM, until those days, i had only one IEM ; Monster Beat Tour.., the more i test IEM the more i ear bass on them...
I mostly do my "test" with a Home DAC (Corda Cantate) and CD's because even if i'll use my IEM mostly on subway with my iPhone 4 and
My ear are made in a way that i need deep insertion to have a good seal so unfortunately i [size=11.0pt]Can't test 3 IEM because of that ...;
Sennheiser CX880i ; Bowers & Wilkins C5[/size] [size=11.0pt];
Harman Kardon NI[/size]
Classified by order of My preference ;
Sony XBA-2iP not much bass, too much treble, less details and nuances then others, sound seem to far, sometime i can't get a good enough seal, the cable do tangle even if he have a Small king of flat cable.
[size=12.0pt]Bose MIE2i[/size] Bass is there, maybe too much.., forgive too much for song with too much treble , too much mids here and not enough precise.
[size=12.0pt]He fell Very comfortable and stay in place (for walking, i didn't try a jogging 
) but as it's a [/size]Earbuds, not a IEM [size=12.0pt]forget it on subway, you have no isolation at all, but for the street if you don't search audiophile sound, [/size]they can be interesting.
[size=11.0pt]Monster Beat Tour[/size] we ear mostly treble and bass, not enough mid, to me not enough focus on voice, [size=11.0pt]the cable Never tangle [/size]
[size=11.0pt]Klipsch Ref S4i [/size]difficult for me to have enough insertion to have good seal but just enough for a quick test ;
[size=11.0pt]Klipsch Ref S4i[/size] vs [size=11.0pt]Monster Beat Tour ; [/size][size=11.0pt]Klipsch[/size] have more precisions on high/mid and bass, [size=11.0pt]is more [/size]enjoyable for me, with a warmer sound more impact (bass drum for example), Monster Beat Tour do have more (in general) bass but with less details.
[size=11.0pt]Ultimate Ears UE 700[/size][size=11.0pt] [/size][size=11.0pt]i don't know if it's because he's so thin but it was hard for me to have a good seal, not sure i have a deep enough insertion too, i had to press with my finger on them to get a better sound... detail of sound on ClarityOne.[/size]
[size=11.0pt]Shure SE215-CL [/size][size=11.0pt]cable too sturdy
/rigid for normal street use, look like more for musician or professional[/size] nevertheless [size=11.0pt]i have sound problem [/size] at the end of the cable since today... Sometime i don't get enough good seal, again because not so good deep insertion...
[size=11.0pt]Shure SE215 vs ClarityOne [/size][size=11.0pt]Shure have[/size] more bass, but in general [size=11.0pt]less precision, less [/size]aerated, [size=11.0pt]ClarityOne have more precision on bass, can't stay exactly why but i prefer Clarity..[/size]
[size=11.0pt]ClarityOne [/size]Cable don't tangle (not like Monster cable but good enough), For now he don't have volume function but he will have by the end of 2013 according to them
[size=11.0pt]ClarityOne vs Ultimate Ears UE 700[/size] [size=11.0pt]ClarityOne have more bass, more details (mostly on mids) more impact, more space, more [/size]breath, sound come from closer, more impact (mostly on drum), except UE900 this is my favorite, in fact i keep it
[size=11.0pt]Ultimate Ears UE 900 [/size][size=11.0pt]Very Precise, i can ear here thing i don't ear on None of other IEM i test here, on treble mid and bass, Very impressive[/size], i get out of the box some crackling on the junction of the cable and the IEM on left part, there is a "mixture" between treble mid and bass, i feel when i listen to it that there is almost a gape between between treble mid and bass on all other IEM i test.., by Far the best of those i test, i didn't keep it because of the price..., just like Shure Sometime i don't get enough good seal, again because not so good deep insertion...
[size=11.0pt]Ultimate Ears UE 900 vs Ultimate Ears UE 700 [/size][size=11.0pt]on 900 all sound are closer and more precise, more alive.[/size]
I keep ClarityOne, all others go back to store tomorow.
