Looks great man!
Hey, thanks - on the (further) plus end, everything that's characteristic about UM2s really comes out in their new housings . . . InEarZ did a nice job translating the dual drivers into their new shells. Mids are still reliably forward and have an almost stunning presence as usual, while nothing across its overall range is ever "off", "weak" or harsh in comparison to how the other frequencies are handled. Subtle details are just as evident in the music as ever, e.g., individual strings in one channel, a subtle hi-hat behind a torch singer, etc. It's as if you're there but still offers a nonthreatening sound at the same time; although I realize other IEMs have more defined bass + treble (which has gained some detail in this reshell, IMHO), the UM2 nature remains a comfortable experience for me in day-to-day.
For those possibly wondering: the soft tips seem comfortable (though, my left ear - the one with nerve problems - might need the slightest shave in terms of diameter, which has nothing to do with the choice of material) and the shallow depth does not make these feel as if they will fall out on their own at all (i.e., they are anchored in well to my ear shapes).
