these earbuds sound damn amazing!! that's all i can say... i am very happy with them. I was a bit wary at first for spending $250 on earbuds, but damn these are worth every penny...

However i have a few questions...

I'm using these with my new ipod video... however, not all my songs sound good. some sound terrible, some sound ok, and some sound damn amazing... is this normal? Was wondering is it because of my earbud's fault or is it because of the song? I listen to a wide range of music, including old-school 80's to hip/hop, electronica, freestyle... i'm using the Rock EQ preset on my ipod... most of my songs are between 128kbps - 192kbps... AAC and MP3...

second question, how can i tell if you have a "proper" seal to your ears?

overall these earbuds are awesome! just wish all my music was equal in terms of quality, and loudness... some songs are very low and sound very muddy... but i don't think these are faults of the earbuds...

any pro's out there can answer my questions? :)

DON"T EQ THE SOUND. Super.fi works best when it is FLAT or OFF. If you're serious about music, I would suggest going 320kps instead of a meer 128kps. It is unlikely the headphone's fault, you're looking at low quality files and a bad EQ that's causing the problem.
