Comply tips are the devil. I need long-lasting silicon.

Nice color combo. That was my original color scheme before I opted for the standard color. Kind of wish I would have stuck with the original color scheme. Hopefully, there aren't any quality issues.

I was #17 on the backer list. Dale made a post a while ago that they were doing mostly white cable standard color, because that's what they had the most parts of and didn't want to ruin their small stock of black cable and specialty coatings (makes sense since it's the only retail combo) so those of us with crazy combos have had to wait a bit longer.

Thanks, I am super happy with the looks.
Teh secks!

I started a tips thread for the Rockets - please post your recommendations if you have time and I will compile a list in the original post as they come in.

BEHOLD! The Rockets with mic have landed!
I just received these not more than a hour ago and everything I've written thus far is based on after running it through the Cardas Clarifier (long sweep) app and the only source being my ancient SGS1 (Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant ) /w Voodoo and Neutron while listening to female FLACs for a period of approximately half hour.
First, I mean it when I declare eating crow for all the damn griping I've done in this thread and others. My impatience had initially sentenced my order for immediate sell off regardless how good it may sound. For those still waiting, stand fast. What's been said about the sound, especially the star of the show - the buttery, smooth, and rich mids, I stand affirmed with those past impressions. They were delivered in spades by the intimate and heavenly voices from Heather Nova and Carol Kidd. The spacial spaces within a small stage on "Hotel California" and the natural tones are delivered with aplomb despite a little lack of stage width and depth, but given the source of delivery (5.1mm dynamic driver), one really can't complain.

I'm really happy for you. I was actually waiting to see if you'd still carry through with your sale plan once you got them.
If you want your jaw to drop, check out Miles Davis' "So What" with the rockets. Best frickin timbre I've heard to date, and the drums/snares make the drummer in me want to cry.
I'd recommend trying them out with Comply TS-500s, or T-500 with the foam ends cut off. It will reveal some glorious bass. I think the highly isolating sealed nature of the Rockets may work against it somewhat at the low end, since the internal ear pressure will not allow your eardrum to vibrate as freely when using silicone tips. Foamies seal via only occlusion, so the vacuum effect is negated. This, to me creates the ultimate sound for the Rockets.

Okay dammit just ordered some TS-500. I'm expecting my mind to be 100% blown.
Just ordered some TS-500 as well.

The rockets sound really good ounce I found tips that don't get stuck in my ear. The tips that come with it are terrible every pair that came with them came off in my ear.
