Quick question chaps...I may of missed it in the threads, so apologies in advance, but does anyone know some good Foam tips for the CKM's, I have some Comply's T-400 and they fit the older models (according to their site) but would welcome anyone's opinions to good alternatives...and are cheaper...(gels irritate after a while)

for those who ordered from cdjapan, how they state the value? 

 
Full price in yen.  The site says they can ship gift but have to declare full value.

Thanks I'll look into getting more. The ones ATH give are hard and not very comfortable feeling. I did receive some Sony fakes with my ECCI, but I'll need to order more of that size, thanks :)

 
Received them today...oops he gave me 24 pairs! (4 pairs each size instead of 3 pairs each size)

Seems to isolate better with the small tips and they fit on the nozzle easier. I think it's tamed the bass in a way that I like it more. Haven't given it much of a listen, I just fit them on

Got it yesterday, with 11,89E custom fee %^$^%*&%#$@%^%&$%.
First impression... BASS BASS and BASS.
Burn in a little, I think it has more perfect sound than HTF, but I still enjoy HTF more than ATH, because HTF still has funnier sound that ATH.

Funner yes but I think you will eventually realize the sound quality difference in the two..I don't know how many earphones you are used to but with the CKM500s you will be able to hear all the little details the HTF600 will be missing. Give them some time and some of your best quality music and you will understand why these are a leap in sound quality over the cheap but fun HTF600 full sized..
 
Throw on something with instruments in a big hall. A live recording or vocal tracks and you will be able to hear all the little details and hear the depth of the sounds. The more you get used to hearing the CKM500 I am certain they will grow on you.
