I was at Fry's in Renton..and got them on impulse. At first they didn't sound too great at all..no bass & bright-ish sounding. But once I switched out the stock foams with the other ones that were in the case (I think they were abit thicker)..and HUGE difference! Lots of bass, not too boomy or over powering. But I think I need a slightly bigger tip. These foams just fit in my ear with very little or no squishyness to get them in my ears.

I am going to break them in for a while before I look into the Kramer FX33 mod's.

These little buggers sound great!

try putting some Shure E2 orange foamies on them in place of the stock tips (which by the way, are the exact same size for both pairs that come with the 'mallows). Bass-shy will be the last thought on your mind, trust me.

They are least used headphones I have but they sure are fun sounding. I don't find them bass-shy at all with stock tips you might not be getting a good seal. But definitely electornica-techno sounding. I use them when I don't want to carry a K81DJ with my iPod.

I ghetto rigged some tape on my foams...the seal is better, but not as comfortable.

Where can I get these Orange Foamies, or other tips?

eBay of course. There's a seller I've used for Shure tips named iDealSound that should have them at a decent price with free shipping.

Will EA306's Triple-flange sleeves fit?

How large are the EA210L's orange foams? compared to the stock mallow ones?

Will the EA410A's fit the FX33's? or the EA506A's?

?

i also am a member of the FX33's. I payed the full 25$ but i understand there was a 10$ sale at bestbuy or something recently. The kramer's mod makes them sound great! unfortunately, i don't have any other tips to exchange them with.. is there a huge noticable difference in SQ?

 

[Joshatdot]

I do like these little buggers alot, I just wish the seal was a tad better.

So what exact brand & model of tips do I need to Google?

I am also a new member of the FX33 club (sounds like some monster AMD chip, doesn't it?!). They are interesting IEMs, definitely several steps above the iBuds. The Kramer mod does wonders for them; before the mod I could barely make out anything above the headache-inducing bass (disclaimer: I am not a basshead) but now they are far more sonically balanced. They are still quite punchy and they still have a distinctive sound, but are enjoyable on-the-go.

I wouldn't use them for any serious listening, but think the $10 I spent was well worth it.

One thing worth mentioning is that they are so sensitive, you may start to hear noise/hiss where you never have before. This could start the upgrade bug a-buzzing, so consider yourself warned.

Oh, and I have no problems sealing the default blue squishies in my ears... if I did (apparently some/a significant number of people have this problem) I might not like them as much.

I really like my Marshmallows. I use them a lot.

I want Marshmallows... whenever I go to buy them they are sold out...
