have you tried it ‘over ear’ with thin foams? Brought out a whole new level of soundstage and signature for me.Glad to see you guys here enjoying the Penon BS1 Official!
When I first hear the Penon BS1 Official, I cannot quite believe the stage presence along with its matured & natural sound.
Now, the Penon BS1 Official is my go-to earbud. I feel slightly guilty for leaving my other earbuds aside.

question about the Penon BS1: are they leaking a lot of sound? Would be perfect if they behave the same as my EMX500 : they sound marvellous & they don't leak so that's perfect for my office.

No, in my experience, they are not very leaky, if at all. I haven't done any serious testing, but nobody in my workplace (or my wife sitting next to me at home) has ever complained even when I have them cranked up a good bit.

Actually a little too serious (stiff).

This one is even more interesting, ending in less than 24 hours!
Final price?
Crazy! I sold my pair for a little less than $300 with shipping!
Edit: Now the price has almost doubled!
Soundwise they are good but NO WAY would I pay over $400 for a pair in good cosmetic conditíon. My pair had a small crack in the housing and other small blemishes. Sound wasn't affected, though.
You could get a pair of CAX Red Dragon for a little over $700 and it completely blows away E282. However, Red Dragon is not a collector's item in the same sense as vintage Sony earbuds...

The EBX sound brighter and has less body. The vocal presentation on the BS1 is more forward and the detail level is pretty similar. My new favourite is the BS1 Official for sound, build quality and packaging, but the EBX has the advantage of having the option to change the cable.

NiceHCK EBX is one of my favourite earbuds, got a little more oomph than my OurArt Ti7's

Looks that way to me. As good as they apparently are, the cable would probably be somewhat of a deterrence for me (unless I got them mainly for "at the computer" listening).
