These are really great for in-bed usage because of the low profile. I can lay my ear on a pillow with the bud inside and don't have much discomfort. I often fall asleep with 'em in my ears listening to some sweet music.
The sound is very balanced - not too much bass, not too bright, not fatiguing (as opposed to, e.g., Westone W20). Detail is also quite good. Good enough for classical music (when you're in bed - for regular usage, there are of course better - albeit more expensive - options).
Build quality is abysmal, however - mine started falling apart right out of the box. Glued them together and kept them nonetheless because I really liked them. The cable material is also quite bad - after rolling it up, it won't really get straight again.
Still, will jump on this drop to have one or two backup units.

nizwizThanks for your comments. I hadn't thought about how good IEMs are when your head is resting on a pillow. I have that issue all the time! Also, thanks for the warnings on build quality. That's usually the cause of death for most of my headphones, so I think I am going to steer clear for now...

nizwizThanks for the comment. Personally for in-bed usage I would prefer cheap earbuds as I don't need to worry about damaging them in my sleep. I use IEMs only when I need noise isolation, such as when I am outside. If I have the luxury of being in a quite place by myself I'll generally prefer earbuds over IEMs for their openness and airiness.

nizwiz Build quality was fine for my set. They even survived going through the washing machine!
The do lack a little bass, but everything else is exceptional given the price.
But it as you said, these are perfect for lying on your side in bed. The ultra flat profile means there is little to no pressure on your ear. Yet to find another set of IEM that come close this this and still sound good.

KevMechjust a note: dont worry about the build quality, rarely they have a glue issue with the rear housing, they will repalce them but, the easy fix, and it wont void warr, a toothpick and some superglue, takes 10sec to put the back-back on, for good.
my set years ago had the back pop off after i got them, went to mp4nation forums to ask what to do, found a thread about the issue, sound magic where replacing units no problem, but also had officially said we could use super glue to fix them and not void the warranty.
they lasted me 5 years after that before one ear went out...of daily and nightly use(listening more then not) and being in my pocket loose with my player/wallet/phone alot of the time...
they are worth the money, and as i said, the fix is easy, takes 10 sec...cost you a buck at dollar tree for 3+ tubes of glue... ;)
the new set, i checked, the glues good on this set..(i was gonna glue it if it wasnt before even using them...)
