Etymotic research ER6i received this morning

Nice one!
First Impression:
What The Fudge! Why does this sound so tinny...
Ten Minutes of playing with ipod settings/listening to different files. The same shitty sound.
I thought either I was an idiot for not being expert enough to appreciate good sound when I know it...or my set is seriously busted.
Then i shoved the Flanges deeper in the ear canal a bit..
Taddah! Lovely detail and much fuller sound stage. highs and Mids very nice. Bass is not in your face but seems accurate. My early guess is that these will be more suited for jazzy/lounge/acoustics as opposed to metal or techno...we shall see...
Gonna break it in till after the weekend with non stop music and have another listen next week. Till then.. "Whew!"
A reminder for all noobs like me to IEMs - These are not regualr ipod earphones and must be worn properly to work properly.
