Be sure you select the right size earpiece fitting

I've been struggling with the Faze headset on my Droid X for a couple of weeks, and was ready to give up on it and return it to BB, due to terrible sound. The sound was clean, without distortion, but there was no bass, no highs - just a metallic-sounding mid-range. OK for voice, but awful for music.
I finally decided to just try out a different size earpiece fitting prior to returning them, just to see if it would help, but not expecting much improvement . They come with three fitting sizes, with the smallest fitting installed. I switched to the middle size, and was surprised and amazed that the sound totally met my expectations.
I guess it's really important with this unit that the ear canals are completely filled to work properly. I'm not nuts about the feeling of fullness in my ears, but it's just something I will adjust to.
Functionally, the headset works fine with the DX, and I like the clip they provided to prevent pulling on the cords while moving around, and the unit seems reasonably well constructed.
What's great about it: Won't fall out of my ears (especially with the correct fitting)
What's not so great: Could use a better storage case than the little bag that comes with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Shoulda waited a little longer before reviewing

Apparently, I can't go back and edit my own review, so I'll just comment here. I have since discovered that using an earpiece that fills the ear canal, while it improves sound quality, any movement or touching of either of the cords produces a very loud, bass-drum like boom in the ear - very annoying, and I don't think I can live with it. The problem is purely mechanical - it occurs even with no connection to my Droid DX.
I plan to return them to BB today. I apologize for given it an undeserved 4-star rating. I'm going to take another look at other choices at BB, but I most likely will just go back a new set of Apple headphones to replace my two year old set that finally failed. I know they will work for me.
