- I can see why the fit might be better (but tips are exchangeable?), however how come the cable? I'm not jogging, but I don't think there is a difference in microphonics. Weight? I'm not feeling it?

- What do you mean for real world use? What part of the design? Cables again?

- I'm not sure about Canada, but in the States, the price is only about a ten dollar difference...you'd know if you bought it.

- If you switched the tips over to the SE530, would that change your opinion?

- I bought mine from official dealers (see OP). Are you talking about just the earphone themselves or the whole package as I got? The SE530 earphones themselves would be cheaper if you subtracted the difference in accessories compared to the UM2.
