Maybe u find the NE-7M clearer cos NE-700X has bigger bass?
I have heard that the 700Xs are a bit large and that they might not fit someone with small ears, but could anyone post a picture or the 700Xs next to the NE-7Ms? The NE-7Ms with foams fit me without any problem, but I saw on the official NuForce site that the 700Xs are about 3g heavier than the NE-7Ms...Thanks in advance~
Also, I have another question about the foam earbuds (again)
Since the Awesome Mod Shure Olives fit the NE-7M, Comply T400 fit the NE-7M, and the Comply T400 fit the 700X, would the Awesome Mod Shure Olives fit the 700X? Which size Shure Olives would I get? (I assume Large)
I think I want to get the Shure Olives over the T400s because I don't have enough money to keep buying the T400s every time they get destroyed >_<;

Yes, please compare the sound between the NE700 and the Phonak. I own the Phonak (and use the grey filter) and but am interested in the NE700 as well
A better name for the Phonak's is Perfect "Amount of" Bass.

Which filters are you using? When the Phonak's first hit head-fi, they were all the rage, but my impression, as the main thread developed, was that people found them to be bass light with one set of filters and lacking in detail with the others. I also recollect that many users determined an amp was a must have to make them deliver. I was tempted to buy a pair initially, but the great filter debate turned me away.
As to the NE 700X - I had the opportunity to audition my co-worker's pair yesterday. The tips were larger than what I typically use, but I got a good seal with a relatively shallow depth of insertion. (This might be a relevant factor for those of you finding them to be bass heavy?) In any event, my initial perceptions of them were very positive, and I believe they are a clear upgrade from the NE-7m's (which I have spent considerable time listening to). In sampling the 700X, I was using lossless rips on my iphone, and my impression was that the soundstage was a little better, the trebles a little sweeter, the bass a bit more controlled (and maybe faster?), but no more abundant than my NE-7m's.
Thanks for bringing me up to speed Roker. I was way behind the times and didn't even realize there was a "perfect bass" version as opposed to the original "perfect fit" model. I'll have to find an opportunity to give these a listen.
