so anyone hwo want to buy that model, if you want neutral buy the ones with silver plated cables, if you want more bassy (mid and upper bass) buy the blue one

I only have the one with the UE cable and am more than happy with it:) I think we are waiting for someone to compare the UE with one or more of the others.

i am moving from full size headphones to earbuds and in ears, it seem to me that the earbuds are more close in sound to open back headphones and the in ears more to closed back

I agree. I have some that almost convince me that I am wearing full sized headphones. I felt that way when I was listening to my BGVP DX3 (discontinued now) last night. I still love my headphones but during the hotter than normal summer that we had I was unable to use them.

that is one of the reasons i am giving on them, also my favorite (HE500) is very heavy, i appreciate comfort a lot more now, and those earbuds are very comfortable, the sound is not at the same level but comfort is very important to enjoy music

also i have a buzzing noise on bassy tracks one the silver model, in the left ear, i hope burn in can help with that
That's a driver issue, i think mine has it too. Sometimes literally sucking (yes, you heard that right lol) on the front cover can create a vacuum and pull the driver or any dust on it out. This can help sometimes.

Edit: ah I see @waynes world was eager to answer that first :wink:

But im afraid there's a good chance that it will get worse over time.

SQ may be good for $8 but the quality control is just average. It only gets marginally better as the price goes up. I've had some expensive earbuds that needed repair after only a week or so of use...

You can get headphone-like sound quality from high end earbuds but its best to test the waters with budget stuff first to fibd the right upgrade path.
