Well I got mine in a US Wal-Mart. However, I THINK I saw them in the Kelowna London Drugs. I know they had V-Moda Bass Freqs (I was hoping for Vibes), but I'm not positive about the MMs.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the only Shure tips that I know of that work on the Marshmallow without heavy modifications are the E2 series, that's what my foamies are.

they are probably dynamic drivers like e2c, ex series, and canalphones, and not balanced armatures. so yes, it probably helps the marshmellows

You are correct. The E2's are the ones you need. I've got the E3/4/5 foamies on my Marshmallows. I got them to fit but it took a lot of work to make it happen.

I see. I got the E3/etc tips for my iM716 and it looked the same so I thought it would go. Looks like I'm going to have to get more tips since I mutilated the thing already

I got my fx33, wow Id take it over the shure e2 any day. I had the e4, nowhere near the fx33. Over-hyped

Future Shop and A&B sound carry them to name a few.

I've got the JBL 220's and the Marshmallows. I like both of them, but they're quite different.

The JBL's are much cleaner and clearer overall. The bass is lower and tighter. The mids and highs are both crisper and clearer. Marshmallows are kind of bass-heavy and warmer sounding.

The big difference is the isolation. JBL's are pretty open, allowing me to hear lots of ambient noise. I like that in some situations but not in others.

i just got marshmellows and they suck. a lot. currently burning them in with pink noise. the tips blow as does the fit, unless i put them in a la shure. how do you take off the grey part so i can put e2 tips on them?

anyone mess with the paper filter? the bass is all i hear and i can hardly hear the highs. i have no idea how people could call these better than the e2c's, although i only heard them breifly before i kramer modded them.

I just got the Marshmallows the other day. They aren't that bad, but they aren't that exceptional either. They are a good value for the price. But I guess I can't expect anything more for a $20 IEM. They are a bit too dark for my taste, and I am still getting used to the closed sound, coming from Grado SR60s which have an airy sound. The one thing I really like is the isolation. They are great for blocking out external noise.

I've tried the mod as suggested by kramer, and the sound is a notch better, but still bassy and dark.

Anyways, DoomzDayz to take off the grey tube, you have to know that it is glued on at the end. To take it off just use a bent paperclip and work the metal tip between the grey rubber tube and the inner plastic body. Swirl around until you see it tear a bit at the end. Then you can just use an exacto knife to finish cutting it off. Hope this helps!

BTW this is my first post!!

The JVCs are delicious, but like their real-world counterparts, they lack nutrition, IMO, of course.
