There's also one more extremely important consideration... comfort. They just don't hold up in this area compared to the Super.fi line, Shures, or the UM2. When they were the only viable option out there it was much easier to overlook this, but now that the playing field is more populated you're not finding as many people willing to suffer for quality (in a manner of speaking).
