What tips did our ebay pairs come with? Are they just universal tips or OEM?
Unless you ask they give you a pair of mediums but the mediums I got was an AT tip but not the ones that come with a boxed pair..The AT tip the factory rejects came with are for ATs cheaper earphones.. The reason why I know is the ones that came with the rejected pair had a hard time going to the 2nd slot on the nozzle. The oem tips have no such issues. I did a tip comparison with my cheaper CK303 and those are more what they looked like to me..
So it seems they randomly throw in a AT tip. But if you ask them to include a large or small they will do that. If they are actually the original tips I don't know. It is good to know you can just buy some tips from ATs web site though.
Yeah, I got mediums too, so I'm gonna guess that they're the same tips they gave you. Do you hear any difference between the reject's tips and your oem tips?
if u get the chance, try the meelec bi-FLANGE tips...perfect fit and great soundMmmm I just want to make sure I got this right...
1st position?
2nd position?
And these are what my tips look like off. They are a PITA to push down because the tube is very thick(guess that's due to better isolation), and they don't look like they want to stay pushed down.
I like these tips more than the hybrids because the sony hybrids oddly "blocked" sound like someone mentioned before, but I guess I'll buy the oem tips anyway for that 2nd position versatility.
The CKS55 are good you have to do one little mod however. Burn them in good and also you have to take the filter out on them otherwise the clarity and detail will be lacking for you. They are similar to the CKS77 but not as refined. You could have taken a chance on one of these HK rejected ones that everyone is getting but you need one with mic so that was a good choice.
Trust me on taking the filter out on those. I know it seems kinda counter intuitive as these will be so new. But in this case since I own a CKS55. I know what they sound like before and after and I have to say after taking the filter out the sound improvements are completely worth it on those..So step 1) burn them in a good solid 50 hours and 2) Take the filter out of the nozzle out oh and don't worry about the bass being affected at all. You are gonna get the full on slam on them for sure.

Actually even before you take out your filters. Can you return those? If so I have something in mind for you. Let me know. I just recently discovered an unbelievable bassy earphone and you guys that have these CKS earphones can read about them on this thread.

Great price for these http://www.amazon.com/JVC-In-ear-Headphones-mic-Red/dp/B007B5V1XM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1337878020&sr=8-2
But back on to the JVCs... you were blown away by the lesser of the XX models? I will probably get them, but man... if you were so blown away by those... im wondering about the big boys (HA-FX1X)!!!
Thanks for the advice, but the ones you are recommending don't seem to be the "best" option in that price range... it looks like the HA-FX1X is where it's AT!!!!! same line, just in HULK SMASH mode.... damn.. i wish they made THOSE with a mic...
on a side note... i found a set of J.Fi Acoustic Natural Ebony Wood and Metal Fusion earphones locally, here in Nashville for $19 - NEW! I researchhed the hell out of them, but couldnt find much http://www.jlabaudio.com/jfi-acoustic-natural-ebony-wood-and-metal-fusion-earphones-p-546.html... bought em on principle... if its that cheap... i must buy!!! No mic, but man... these things are badass.... have you heard them? I also got a set of meelectronics M6 for $9, but hate them.. poor design in my opinion.. but these J.Fis are sick... i'm loving them right now.

Lastly.. comply or monster supertips? i'm leaning towards the newest complys... the Ts series (spherical) but i'm really intrigued with the monster ones...
Thanks again, bro!!! Much appreciated!
