thinking about it, the sony IEMs nowadays look huge compared to other designs. does it really stick out and become obvious when you're looking
at someone wearing it from the front? i do have long hair so that could help conceal it

I'm pretty sure you would get more looks wearing Monster Pros.

They're not huge. Yes, they're much bigger than "regular" IEMs but looking from the front? Just two big chunks of black. Customs are way worse (well, depending on the color).
But hey, this coming from a guy who used to wear the Koss UR-20 outside, then upgraded to the XB700 outside. So YMMV.

Though the guy on the video isn't wearing them properly (they should be worn over the ears), you can still get a pretty good idea of what they look like 'in the flesh'.

They really shouldn't do this, public earbuds and all. Mingo Hong Kong does it right: You wanna try IEMs? You buy the eartips first!

That was at CES.  The folks behind the counter change out the buds after each use.  They have a bucket of tips in all sizes back there.  You can also make out the ambient noise in the background I had to deal with when listening to the EX1000, XB1000 and Z1000 for the first time.  
 
He also didn't use his own DAP and music.  The lady had to disconnect the plug in the back and pass it underneath the counter so I could plug in my DAP.

Excellent. Looking forward to a review!

 

[3602]

Well that's nice. Even if I get the EX800ST (MDR7550) or the EX1000 I won't be returning the EX600. It may become a parts donor. Well, I may sell the two units, keep the cables and everything else...

I understand, but I will have no need for parts, I hope, with the 7550s. The cables on the EX600s and 7550s are the same, I believe.

...Well that's... Hey now, don't the 7550's have much shorter ear-hangers and a different L-jack? Or do you mean the actual length of wires...

 

[3602]

So the reverse-water-drop-shaped relieves pose themselves on the ear-lobes rather than droop under them... Hmm, that does indeed help.

Let me put it this way: even if they took away all my other IEMs, I'd still be happily grinning ear2ear with my EX600. Now that doesn't mean that I won't eventually go for the EX800 too. I've learned a new english word from music_4321, "peer pressure", and it's brilliant for excusing pretty much everything.

i just received mine
 
are these kinda light on bass compared to Brainwavs M2? and will the sibiliance go away with burn in?

 

[Confispect]

^ Light on bass. 

 

[Majin]

not perse bass light but with the M2 most of the songs had some bass, with the ex600 only some songs have heavy hitting bass

 

[Inks]

That's because the M2 has a midbass hump, the EX600 can be said to be more accurate.
