First off, my ears feel like it's getting raped. Probably because its been like a month and a half since I've worn any other IEMs. I got mine from American Techpushers for $194 USD, shipped to my door in Canada. Not bad considering they MSRP for $300 USD.
The tips do make a big difference here. The foamies produce the bassiest sound, but tri/bi-flanges come close. The soft grey tips produces a much more muddier sound.
The bass is there, certainly not up to basshead standards, but its there. Very tight, which I like. I can listen to rap with these.
The mids are stunning, certainly more so impressive than my MS-1s. Vocals just sound more lush and smooth.
The highs are just merely okay. Certainly, when compared with my MS-1s, the Shures just don't have the energy that the Alessandros have. I think that the Ety ER-6is had more highs than these. One good thing about a rolled off high end is that sibalance is controlled much better, and it is easier to listen to them for a longer period of time.
If not for the ear pain and the loss of some highs, I would be raving about these IEMs. I like them, though, and they should grow on me.
