Rather agree with the article, having done a lot of trial and error on earbuds - fit really does matter. Good fit actually seems more important to the sound than the underlying speaker tech, also determines how long they stay comfortable for. Having run through a lot of earbuds, for me personally I've found the Panasonic RP-HJE-125's best (despite the throwaway price). Probably a bit rough on things, I do break stuff a lot and there's really quite little to be had between well-fitting cheap buds and much more expensive offerings (the HJE's come with 3 sizes of tips, don't be afraid to use different sizes each side). Edit: For more bass try JVC HA-FX10's - too much more bass for me, horses for course etc.
