Quite interested in their black "In-Ear Reference" model that they recently brought out.

But I'm never sure how you're supposed to demo them, or compare them to anything else, without buying them.
I have a mid-level pair of universal-fit UEs and think their midrange is a bit cold and brittle. I like Etymotics and even Shure E5C better, though I do use them sometimes for travel listening to a DVD movie player and iPod.

I'm certain the custom UEs are better; they were included in this review and earned a good score:
