The memory wire is a little annoying too.

I think I've settled on Sony Hybrid red tips or the ME stock small single flanges, with the small tri-flanges in second place.

First impressions to come after a few hours of listening.

EDIT: I've spent a lot of time with these IEMs now, and I fucking hate them. Bass impact is decent, mids are audible, treble sucks major balls. The treble doesn't sparkle, it crunches. Listening to anything cymbal/high-hat heavy is a chore to listen to and I have to change the track or just stop listening altogether.

If anyone has a recommendation for a good portable HP (or IEM), please tell me. My budget is loosely $100.
End the end is going to come to individual preference. But a lot of people like RE0. Head over to http://www.head-fi.org/ and read up on what would suit you.

I'm using Panasonic HJE900s right now.
