just a quick follow up... first impression at maybe 100miles... not bad at all, cant tell how great yet because im still breaking them in and temps are low.
so far compared to the RE050A's they are softer and more comfortable. they are quieter than the RE050's too... for my driving where roads are mostly straight i think these will do fine. it doesn't have the sharpness the RE050A's do. in that respect i think im going to get the RE050A PP's next time... or if S04's come in our size i'll look at those too.
will keep you posted.
