Thought I read that the 3003 has a tiny pin hole port on the nozzle for the dynamic driver, and that you can block it with some tips.  I don't know for sure, I was just curious.



I didn't see the pinhole you mentioned.  (That could be attributed to the fact that I drank too much last night. :P)
 


If there is, it should logically be positioned at the base of the stem that holds the stock silicon tips. The original clear tips have sleeves that cover the whole stem.  These Complys do not. I figure that IF THAT IS THE CASE, then it must be safe to say that the dynamic driver in each can still move air.

My thinking there was a pinhole might be attributed to the same thing.

I'm unsure whether you are against EQ but you should try the Dirac music player if you have the chance. Think of it as an Accudio Goldenears player app but made just for the earpods. In my opinion, it made the earpods a possibility for decent sound on the go

I have no EQ in my main system but have learned to like it with portable. The EQ snob in me left the building.

Those actually look pretty cool - have you tried them?

 
The EarSkinz are a must for the ear pods; try them, you won't be sorry.

  Earpods + EarSkinz = better than Yamaha EPH-100 or some other IEMs preference-wise? 

 
No, not by a long shot, in my humble opinion.  The EarSkinz really help seal my ears and do a nice job of boosting a little bass.  My daughter, on the other hand, hates using them, so YMMV.
 
The Yamaha EPH-100s are in a difference class, IMO, comparing them to my ear pods and my previous IEMs (Shure SE-420).

If they fit I feel the Apple Earpods are ok. Maybe not a value if you buy them by themselves for $35 then get the skins for $11. But they do seem to play a lot of different styles of music without one genre being a favorite. They actually have an authority that I like better than a lot of IEMs like the Re0s. Still they are not something I would not go out and buy. Nice if you get them with an Apple product.
 
Some members here really love them interestingly.
