Lastly, one thing I've noticed from this thread, is that everyone who's bought them seems to 'hear' the same sound as everyone else. When I first started reading reviews on headphones, I found it very confusing when one person said x phone had loads of bass and another person said the same phone had no bass. . . but so far, the C700s seem to sound exactly the same to all of us. There's no contradictory comments about the bass being crap, or the mids being recessed. I think Denon made a great headphone, easy to use, nice tangle-free wire and fantastic sound. I'm glad everyone's liking them so far. Now we just need antonyfirst's review. . .

Those tips are included with the V-moda Vibes (which is what started this insane purchase/demo/ journey). They were good for something now it seems! The clear tips are silicon just like the black ones provided. They feel just like the black ones in terms of hardness/softness and durometer. For me they give me exactly the same sound as included black mediums. I get a better seal even, because they are ever so slightly bigger (notice how the bottom edge of the clear tips rests right at the body of the earphone; there's more of a gap there with the stock mediums)- I can feel them fill my ear canal more. They also stay in place better.
Of course I had to demo the Vibes with the Denons. That was downright laughable. Then again the price difference about double- if you order from Amazon for $152 shipping included. But to me the Denons easily sounded like double the earphone, maybe even more.
I tried to look around on the V-moda site, but couldn't find any link to replacement tips. Of course I gave up pretty quickly because I was getting tired that late. I'll look more today.
I totally agree about people hearing the exact same thing with these. I've found all comments true from everyone so far. The only thing I hear a little differently is that Warrior says there is a bit more bass, or more depth with these, and I hear a TAD more (quantity only) on the Atrio; but to my ears there is more midbass bloat to the M5 (although they are quite respectable in that regard). The Denons seem to reach just about as low, but they are tighter and more focused in the bass. Perhaps that will fill out some as they burn in more. I hope it doesn't get leaner even, because I'm a self-admitted bass head... so far they're fitting the bill nicely in that area.
**morning edit** I just tried the large V-moda clear tips, and they fit my ears better even. They just go right in at the correct depth so quickly, and stay put. I think I could work out in these, or mow the grass without them working loose because of sweat. The bass as well as the entire frequency range is at least as good as with the black silicons provided, if not a bit better. Of course with that large a tip on these, it looks like some funky clear mushroom head or something- they literally stick out more than the aluminum housing! But it's working....... So apparently these are a bit dependent on the tips, and it will be fun to continue to experiment with other options as other compatible ones are proven out.
