Impressive. How do you find them? Would you recommend them for live stage performances?
They sound fantastic, and they are super comfortable, i've already been using some Moulded ear Plugs from them for a few months. I actually managed to get these at a silly discount too (should be around 700USD, i got them well under half that).
Stage use, eh, its a personal thing, i personally like using wedges, i find that In Ears make you loose some vibe, but you 100% play tighter with them...
But i like them so far.
I usually break mine in for 200 hours before I do any serious listening. Breaking them in definitely makes a difference, same with speakers and amplifiers. That being said, I've been into to audio since the 60's. You don't have to take my word for it if you want. Just giving you my personal experience...
Hey, I'm with you. I also break em in for 200 hours. I keep a note of the hours in my diary. At the moment I'm breaking in my new B&W P5 series 2's. Already sounding superb! This after 65 hours
Oh man I want to spew things about these headphones already, but I'd feel so irresponsible for doing it out of more excitement and less experience. Just a preview I guess; So far, you're going to get a great review on BOTH of these. For now, let's just say these headphones are like your own children. Very similar, but you love them both for same and different reasons. I'll type out a more specific review in a few more days as I use them.
Really like them, I've been using them every day going to and from work. Getting better the more they are used. Really good build quality, especially on the cable. Inline remote is a must for me now.
It's a nice upgrade from the CX300s.
Can't really adjudicate on that one, alas.
They are both excellent, and I am a huge fan of the Bowers & Wilkins range, but I dislike in ear headphones as I find them extraordinarily uncomfortable.
So I'm considering purchasing Bluetooth over-the-head headphones. My first ones. I want to be "budget conscious". Is there such thing as budget Bluetooth headphones? If so can you recommend some options? Thanks.
I don't know what your definition of budget conscious is, but I think $120 is about the cheapest you'll find for quality bluetooth over-head headphones. I have this pair below, as well as several over pairs of headphones, it is a good set with good sound and battery life, but the bass is lacking compared to many higher priced pairs:

Well I guess I'd rather not go over $200 If possible. Maybe that is what I mean by budget conscious.

I have both. It's difficult to compare due the C5s being double the price of the MIEs. C5s are much better in the build quality. I use mine with some comply tips.
Personal choice I go for the C5s if you have the money. If not then the MIEs are very good for the money and are excellent. I'm still using the MIEs now, and have been for the last few weeks.
Picked these up at Amazon for $55 and they sound amazing. Also comfortable too, unlike those damn Beats (they give me a headache).

i used these for monitoring sound for my production/camera needs. Very comfy and durable.
