It's difficult to compare an earbud to IEMs but in general I'd say that the CK10 is like a finely tuned precision instrument - it tells you where and how far away everything is without any room for guesswork. The Charm has pretty good depth and gives you a good idea of the plane in space where something is located but beyond that it's hit or miss. I'd say the Ck10 is easily more 3D/Immersive but for an earbud the charm is quite good.

Thanks, I will try to wait for your review, but as rawster points out they are very tempting, especially considering I don't have any iem's now and they ship within Canada.

as far as I'm concerned, as-charm is available on ebay by a Singapore dealer and a UK dealer. buyers therefore can choose the most appropriate seller for them depending on delivery time, custom clearance or delivery cost.

 For $80 it seems to be a fantastic value and something I can be okay with taking outside.  I was very unhappy with the Pk1 and the OK1,as I felt the sennheiser MX series was just of a higher quality, especially the mx980 which blew all of them out of the water.  It was my bud of choice for a while.  
 
With significant amping, Im told the Charms scale up very well.  I hope they turn out to have a signature I can be happy with for a bit.  Heres hoping for a good experience

Good luck! If I were an earbud person I'd be probably be able to enjoy the Charms as a reasonably priced go-to. $80 is a lot more reasonable than the $230 I'd have to pay for an OK1.

Ya, Im really on the fence about what to do.  I could be happy with the Sennheiser MX980 and nothing else.  I think my "addiction to headphones" and experiencing the new sound from new models is getting the better of me.  I think i should save the $80 and just stick with rebuying the mx980s, after that little disaster I had where I lost my set
 
maybe I can get someone to loan them out to me instead of me just buying them and knowing I will resell them soon after lol, ive been sitting here for a few hours thinking about it and i think it would be best to wait until someone i know picks them up and lets me try them out

I would lend you mine for a time.

Comical entry here, someone came into the room while I had Sunrise's page up and said something like... "what is an as-feeling" - unintentional pun.

Not very. MX471 is slightly warm, smooth, and laid-back. The M11 is really none of those things. Sennheiser's CX281 costs about as much as an M11+ and should match that signature better.

i was afraid to get that answer. the cx281 are too big and dont look comfortable for me. and also i alerady tried those regular common tips and they're really bad too (at least to my ears) no isolation. and local store prices are about ~$60
still, i might consider the M11 . i'd like to try all those tips with the RE0
btw, i find the mx471 pretty bassy , but controlled. with a good tbass-reble balance and a wide soundstage, and little laid back mids. a great earbud.
yeah, i'm not an earbud hater!

You know, I still carry the AS-Charm around with me for times when I simply cannot use an isolating IEM - such as when I'm at the car dealer waiting for my car to be serviced and I need to hear them calling me when my car is ready, etc.  I like the way they sound even at low volumes, and the soundstage is very nice.

I use earbuds at work on occasion, when I know I'll be disturbed. That way physical contact is not necessary to get my attention and I don't have to scare my coworkers with the whole the grimacing-madly-while-removing-customs thing. Just got the HiSoundAudio PAA-1 again and it's still an impressive little bud. Very easy to listen to for hours on end, just as an earbud should be.
