I just got these bad boys yesterday- so far am really happy-- the mids and trebles really are great. these sound way better than the triple fi 10, shure 535s i used to have, and the westone (um3x i think) that i had.. these give a lot of unique feeling to each album i've listened too- and made it feel like i was listening to each album again for the first time. the isolation is so good that i don't have to turn the volume loud up at all when listening.i haven't been to active with these yet, and i worry about fit, but haven't put on the over the ear...
