I will be interested to hear your comparison to SE535.  I will appreciate if you provide some feedbacks after you tried MD for a few days.

No rush.  Give em a gentle burn for a few days and get your tips sorted.

Yes, do let them burn-in.  I really liked mine straight out of the box, but I think they are even better now.  I am not sure how much time I have on them, but I would guess somewhere in the neighborhood of 40-50 hours.  A few days ago I noticed a change, and I think they are smoother now, the bass is a little tighter, and there may even be slightly more detail.  It isn't huge, but they are definitely different and for the better IMO.  I have never been a big believer of burn-in, since none of my other earphones did.  Those all had balanced armatures though.
 
I still need to try the Meelec tips you mentioned.  Right now I am using the foam supertips, since those seem to offer the best balance between fit, isolation, and sound quality.  The gel supertips always slide out slightly and break the seal.

Yeah, dynamic driver IEM's seem to exhibit much more burn in effects than BA. Just about every dynamic driver I've owned showed a fair amount of opening up over the first 24 hours especially.

I'm listening to my MD for first time for about 2 hours straight now.  I'm using the foam super tip and playing straight out of my desktop pc, (my pc is better than most MP3 players by the way).  So far I'm very enjoying what I'm hearing.  The impact of bass (without burn in) isn't up to my full size cans, but none-the-less very good.  I'm especially enjoying the tones of MD.  Soft treble, generous but not overly loose bass, very good mid and some warmness.  So far the best tone I heard from an IEM. After playing with tips and listening to my regular music for about two hours, now I'm listening to the included CD, Kind of Blues.  Very good music I must say.  I used to like Miles Davis, but, by no mean, I was a fan.  I think I'm becoming a fan now

.  I'm not sure if these CD's were re-mastered, but very good recording quality for 1959 music.

If anyone gets the chance, I would LOVE TO KNOW how a few artists and their songs sound on the MD.  
 
I'd really like a small review on Bireli Lagrene - Acoustic Moments
Stochelo Rosenbergs - For Sephora and Spain as seen on youtube ( hopefully you can get a real copy of the audio )
 
and finally some random Django songs
 
if anyone has the ability to do this pleaseeee let me know how it goes

WOW SO MANY TIPS

 

[Inks]

unfortunately none of them are really great with the MDs, but they do work with other iems.

 

[MKang25]

The medium size super tips are nice, I also have bi flange meelec tips that work really well to.

 

[moonsurf]

What's the best tip you found so far?  I'm using the large foam super tips, and they are so far so good.

Hey all can u post some pics?

 

[Inks]

the hybrid foam tips are ok, but they take a bit of treble. When I used the MDs I liked the UE single flange silicones and Auveo tips the best.

@moonsurf; you need to save up for a portable amp/dac  to use if you have a laptop PC. I have the Headamp Pico in gold (it comes in other cool colors too) which sounds as good as it looks. It is a DAC as well as an amp, so you will hear better sound from an external DAC than any internal sound card. I use my MD's at the library plugged into my Pico like I'm listening now (to Oscar Peterson's Night Train), and man, the bass is just awesome!

Centrance DACport is getting a lot of love from some good ears.

Thanks for recommendation for DAC's!  I was actually checking out both uDAC2 and forthcoming Headphonia Stick amp to use with MD.  Pico and Centrance DACport looks very nice, but a little too expensive for me
