But it's a toss up, a compromise right? If Headphone A is 10 eargasmetres better than Headphone B, but caused 5 microphonograms more microphonics, which is better?

What you are saying is that the models you listed do not provide adequate comfort and top notch sound quality out of the box, but require additional tuning with sleeves or foam from other manufacturers, thus involving additional costs, which have to be added to their purchase price.

The Klipsch Audio Custom-1 In-Ear Noise Isolate 1007714 are about $150, the Denon AH-C751 $130, and the V-MODA Vibe Duo Earbuds $100 (without tuning equipment).

I'm convinced that all those models do not have the same sound characteristics and you still haven't explained what makes them "better" ( let alone "eargasmetres better") than the Bose InEar model, which does not need any tuning.

Denon C751 is around $90s at USA amazon. The best IEM for under $100 you can buy imo

Come on, admit it, you work for Bose, don't you? You seem to want to get into an argument defending your chosen earphones. You won't get it from me, I have nothing to argue over and I won't be arguing. The ones I listed speak for themselves.

Agreed! But I'll go one further, I believe they are the best you can get around $200 to $250. That's how good they sound to me. I'm not going to outrage anyone by saying they can stand with the $300 to $400 canalphones, but I do love them that much...

Just outstanding canalphones, those Denon 751s are.

Where didja get the sleeves? I called up Sony, and they don't see to have'em.

On an unrelated note: As eargasmetre is just my arbitrary unit of measure of audio goodness. I've never specified the magnitude of "one eargasmetre", so it could really just be a small difference. Maybe it's a philosophy thing...we do this a lot. Most famously, Alvin Plantinga used "turp" as a measure of evil. Heh...
