Oh, I love them! They have the deepest, tightest bass. I could use more impact, and I know it's there. I'm going to cover the vents but they look so small. I like them much better than the 7550. Much more stage and treble detail. They sound like speakers

I think I will kill myself before getting these ex1000 into this case.

I just don't use the insert part of the case... less protected but they fit in much easier.... but it is a terrible case.

The fit on these things are a bitch, but the better cable does help a bit.  This how I figure if I have a perfect fit for them.  put them on where you think you have a seal.  Throw on a bass heavy track, if you push on them and the bass changes, you don't have a perfect seal yet.  Once you have the perfect seal, you'll be rewarded with one of the best dynamic iems for bass and lower mids. I still think the upper-mid lower-treble is troublesome, and with some tracks i want to rip the iems out of my ear, but with some eq'ing you can kind a fix it.
 
For you mr. talan, i'm gonna go listen to them right now.  haven't touch them in a while.

Ooooooh SNAP!!
 
My babies!!!
 
parametric EQ with multiple bass peaks is amazing. Getting a seal is fun like setting yourself on fire but sound is end of the road for me. Have not looked at other IEM for daily listening.
 
 

 
This EQ style in vid is perfect for ex1000. shiiii I used them for this vid

gotta stretch them out first but shure olives are pretty nice with ex1000, i haven't compared w/ silicon how it affects the bass though, usually foam tips lose a bit but these don't seem as bad

Hi All,
 
I read conflicting comments regarding silicon tips vs foam tips, as to which improves bass for IEMs, could someone help clarify?

Hi All,

I think it's all dependent on your ears and subjective sound, but I've found silicone is better for bass than foam. I actually try to use large bore tips like the JVC spiral dots on as many IEMs as I can.

I think foam is better for isolation, but this just my experience...ymmv

I've got the R2A from the original Kickstarter, and I still love the hell outta them. Maybe not true basshead bass, but close enough for something so dang comfortable and tiny that I forget they are in my ears sometimes. They just hit that sweet spot of doing everything just about right, and can take EQ and bass boosts w an amp. Haven't had any issues yet with them!
