Could do with a bit more midbass/little more weight on the lower midrange register. But no matter these small "improvements", the overall experience is fantastic.

I agree Paulo. Mids are their weak point but NOT by very much, just a tad. You could EQ, But I don't.

Thanks Twin! I will keep that in mind. 
Can't resist anyway to just listen them them OOTB but i won't judge the sound till i burned them in! I've been "studying" your review of the SW3 btw because its written so well and it only fuels my hype for them haha.

Yes, yes, just being nitpicky. Trying to find something I would like to see slightly improved

Someone mentioned comparing the SW3 to the Phantom Master 6. I ordered the Master 6, but, who knows when I'll get them. Perhaps my SW3 will be burned in by then (three months?) lol

Soooo. First impressions: Sub-Bass focused Bass, recessed mids and a bit too much highs for my taste coming from the banned D2. As Twin said, i need to burn them in now, i only hope the highs get a bit mellowed. The soundstage is insane though.. its unbelievable how they manage to get such a soundstage in these little kegs. The comfort is also amazing and better than any IEM's i've tried. The fixed cable is nice cause it doesn't add much weight as opposed to a removable cable option.

What source are You using? They're gonna flattened a bit, highs should settle down. Regarding to mids, I don't get them as recessed. They are not mid-centric, but vocals are there on its place.

Using my iPad Air 2 as source and after 2 hours now it seems i'm already getting used to highs, even though they are louder than the mids, so thats were the "recession" to my ears comes from. Have to listen alot more to judge though! But oh boy, they sound oh so good. When the bass set in in one of my songs, i thought i heard a thunderstorm outside cause the bass was so full. Amazing, just amazing, as one said before, every piece of the music has its own place arround your head and plenty of air arround it. I think these are IEMs in which you can fall in love easily.
