It seems that there may be *several* variants.

That description sounds like they seal and block sound far better than
earbuds. Now that I have found earbuds I like pretty well, the main problem
is lack of blocking background noise. Even earbuds with perfect frequency
response would be useless against this problem. I don't like loud music and
loud passages, but I want to hear the music much more than the background
noise.

Do you have a Sony 900? They have separate bass and treble, as all players
should. Are there other players with independently adjustable bass and
treble?
>Personally, I LOVE my pair of ex's. They sound fantastic, especially when
walking around a downtown area, because they really block the ambient noise.
Also great for work.
I have the Koss in-ear buds and give them a rating of 4/10. They don't seal
in my ears, are difficult to insert. Frequency response seems flat.
