Just got mine! Except, the bass really isn't what I was expecting… :( . And no, I don't own beats, lol -- but I do have some Bose over the ears (at $100) that sound very good, and my Dad has some Bose MIE2's, which also sound noticeably better to me. Even the Apple EarPods have me wondering whether these are only better because of the isolation… though I'm fairly certain the definition is better, at least… but the lows are about as hard to hear. Does anyone else notice this? Did I just get a bad pair, or was I expecting too much? I suspect the latter.

benblazakMaybe some burn-in is necessary?
Mine are out for delivery today. I'll post my thoughts here after trying them.

benblazakWhen I first put these in I thought the same thing about the bass. I love my Grado SR-80i, and the BA100 seemed to have a little less impact than those, which is surprising for IEMs with good isolation. I tried the foam tips but for me the silicone ones sounded clearer with a bit more punch.
I noticed a huge improvement (in bass and overall) by pushing them further into my ear canal than I'm accustomed to, and wearing them with the wires going up over-ear.
Still, I'm hoping a little burn-in brings out some more punch, and overall clarity. Either that or the sound signature just grows on me ;)

CurtisI agree with the lack of bass. Listening to some Default and the lack of bass is apparent. I'll let them burn-in overnight and post tomorrow. Besides that, I think they sound pretty good so far. I'm really enjoying this album again or maybe it's because I haven't listened to it in a while.
EDIT: After playing music through them for 8+ hours, the bass sounds a little bit better. I think I'm just getting used to the sound signature of these too. What's more disconcerting is that they don't seem to work in the headphone port of my HP Probook 6570b unless I'm using an extender.
The vocals are muted unless I pull the plug out of the jack about 1/16 of an inch. I've tried the headphones on my old Dell laptop, my iPod, an iPod shuffle, and a Fiio E11 and the headphones work fine in all of those headphone ports except my work laptop. :P It's probably a funny jack on my laptop.
