I'm practically sold on the CK7 low-profile design. But how comfortable are the in-ear pads? My ATH-M50 cans are solid performers and this is a contributing factor albeit a different sound stage.

The protruding ER-4P design leaves something to be desired, although the isolation seal looks garunteed, which is a fairly high priority. The in-ear pad options look comfortable too.

Bass is important however not overly critical... there's other sources for proper bass if necessary. Plus from what I've read bass response is directly related to in-ear seal and this is common across many / all IEMs.

Any N900 experience out there with these or other comparable models in a similar price range?
ER4 series are VERY light on bass. Of course audio is relative and it highly depends on what you're used to listen on and what genre you listen to.

But again, these are known for their _great_ highs, _good_ mids and very tight and light bas. Suitable for vocal, acoustic instruments, live recording... sucks on pop, rap, r&b, dance, and other bass-heavy genre.
