Received 2x ms02 - which is a happy outcome (one for me and one for my son, who's just getting into audio)

I'm actually pretty surprised to the upside. First of all, it's been a long time since I've had tips that fit me out of the box. I have to replace all of my tips with either Comply foams, or Klipsch ovals. Fit always varies by individual, but the large tips fit me perfectly, and provide good comfort and isolation.
Tooling through my test playlist, I can appreciate the warmth of these headphones. It brings a nice, relaxed feel to the sound. While I only have a run through my test list on them at this point, I can say that the bass is nicely executed, without muddiness, and that brass, guitar, and male vocals are definite highlights. The clarity is surprisingly good given the warm tuning, so the overall effect is one of smooth, clear enjoyable sound. They're definitely not neutral, though, and soundstage is weak - even more so than is typical for IEMs. Female vocals take on a bit more noticeable huskiness than with, say, the warm tuning of the HD6XX.
Altogether, though, these are definitely worth the blue box spend, and perform significantly better than i imagined they would. We'll see how build quality holds up, but with their nice looks and a distinct, relaxed tuning that's different from the other IEMs in my collection, this blue box was definitely a winner for me.
