Build Quality Now unto the build quality
The comfort is great on these
elegant
discrete
but yet beautiful
midrange and treble sounded competent enough
The mids and treble are clean and accurate

bass emphasis is possibly too dominant for ears accustomed to dynamic drivers
relatively hefty price tag
Bass can be slightly boomy at time but not aggressive
it has some memory effect
The cable looks slightly flimsy
Bass is slightly higher in amount than being neutral
field cannot be empty
the highs were a little rolled off
too expensive to buy
excessively over-the-top
nor simplistic
the highs were slightly rolled off
TDK BA100's a little down
the tonal balance too bass-heavy

Review: TDK Life on Record EB950, BA100, and BA200 Earphones

Companies that sell in-ear monitors seldom talk much about the technologies inside their products. But they should, because there are big differences between the ~$20 Philips and Skullcandy IEMs you buy at Target and the ~$200 models you get from Etymotic or Shure.
