What's the deal with these little guys:

?

Anyone used them? At $99 US, it seems a little less exorbitant than the Etys, but I'd like to know how they compare.

Interesting. The earlier Shure canal phones designed for musician's on stage did not compare well with Ety's (or even Sony EX-70's). This newer product looks interesting. The $99 price, and the 30-day return policy may make it worth trying out.

But the ad text makes reference to the fact that it takes its sound from the earlier models. Not a good precedent.

Try 'em!

Shure ripped of Etymotic, even if they do sound good (not likely from what I have read), no one should buy their products.

It looks to me like they've improved upon the ergonomics of these types of earphones, especially when putting the cables behind your ears. They also have a $500 dual-driver audiophile version. It seems kind of stupid to simply discount them because another company did it first. This isn't charity.

I'd really like to, but my geographical location makes even a "free" trial somewhat expensive and impractical. They look interesting, nonetheless, and I'd like to see what others with experience have to say about them.

It seems like you didn't bother to read through my link. These guys are ********.
