Quick update on the SE215's after leaving them on my iPod all day yesterday. Biggest thing I noticed is the soundstage has opened up a lot and has much more definition. The bass levels have increased quite a bit, considerably more intense than it was when brand new. Still using the medium olives that were on them when delivered, won't likely try different ones till the weekend, previously I always used the small Shure silicone tips, but the SE215's are not going to let me seat them as deeply as I could with my old set. These are not audiophile phones, but certainly great everyday for commuting, working out, etc.

Quick Note...HOLY @#%^ the tips on these things are hard to get on/off. You guys weren't kidding about that! Had to do the freezer method to get the stock medium olives off and even then it was still kinda tough!
 
Also, I'm liking these more and more as I continue to listen to them. The sound seems to have just the "right" amount of detail in that I don't find myself missing the high level of micro detail of the CK10's and yet I'm not compelled to try and listen for the details. Instead I'm just enjoying the music. Quite happy so far with my first Shure IEM aside from the crazy tough to remove tips thing...

Couldn't wait so this morning I tried a couple of different tips. First were the medium silicones that I have used on other buds, but now after using the olives they really sound muffled. So, off with them and on with the large olives. Holly crap, talk about intensifying the bass, would not have believed they were the same phones. However, they quickly got uncomfortable in my ears once the foam had fully expanded. So, back to the mediums. Problem is now I miss the bass which I can only get if I gently press on the phones in my ears. 
 
Any recommendations for some tips that are in-between the medium and large olives or large but not so much pressure when they expand?

tried out a pair, i'm going back to my S4i's.  I find that the klipsch had more extension in the midrange and highs compared to the shures.  A bit more clarity too.

hhmmm lots of varied opinions of se215 vs S4i.  My expectations are that se215 is better.  Hopefully they meet or exceed my expectations when they arrive.  
 
If comparing iphone models and s4i turns out to be better, s4i would be the better buy given it is mic ready whereas a separate $50 music adapter is required for the se215

Hmmm, more extension in the midrange? So where to does the Klipsch's midrange extend more?

Any chance these can be fake?
 
Can't find any shop in Australia that sells them :/

After reading through this whole topic I've decided to pick up a pair of these but i have a few questions.
is it safe to assume these are a lot better that the dr.dre tours? (I assume they are better but by how much?)
has anyone had a comfort issue with these? i consider myself to have regular - large sized ears so i'm sure how these will fit. 
And at this price point ($99 canadian) are these on the better value IEM i can pick up?
 
Edit: Also has anyone amped their's yet? I have a E5 and was wondering how it would go with it.

OK - I'm ready to part with some cash... and good deals out there on these?

I can honestly say that these are probably the best you can get at this price point. Much better than tours

I've got mine from earphonesolution.com, it cost me AU$125, well, it $10 more, but, it ship faster and more reliable.

That's what I find as well.  My W4's are sitting in their case.  The 215's are well rounded, detailed enough and just plain fun to listen with.  Notice I said listen "with"?  Sometimes, (with my W4's and HD600's) I find myself listening to the presentation more than the music, with the 215's I listen to the music.
