I have had these in the past when I was younger and more into bass heavy music and ended up selling them. Well Buy,com sent me a nice coupon (for anything when using paypal) so I decided to give these another try. My current quest for detail instead of pounding bass has me interested. First off I was surprised by how much smaller they seemed when inserted with the small triple flange. They are barely noticeable..remind me of the Klipsch Image 10 the way they look in ear. ( I know Image is much prettier...just mean the barely there look.). I am surprised as well with the amount of bass when using the bass boost on my xm4, for me it makes it more noticeable, but not overbearing. Of course the highs are sweet and the mids are nice but not as forward to me as on my Um3x. Over all I am liking them very much in these first few days, I have no comfort issues and the microphonics have never been much of an issue with me. I really want to spend the next week going through my ipod library listening to different genres and female voice music. I always find that a neutral earphone like these sound amazing with older stuff like Elton John and James Taylor imho.
Does anyone know if the design was updated to be a little smaller recently? Every review on amazon etc, spoke of how Frankenstein they look. To me and my wife they are barely there. Maybe they are more noticeable with the other tips, I have only used the small triple flange cuz I like the fit/feel.
