The Sunrise SW-Xcape in-ears pose the perfect middle ground between the bass intensive midrange offerings and the bass light ones like Head-Directs RE0s. The Sunrise house sound is warmer and slightly more forgiving than that of Head-Direct and that makes them ideally suited for the average user with normally encoded source material and perhaps a midrange source. Because they are easy to drive there is no need to lug around a portable-ish amplifier which means they are very convenient for everyday usage. Isolation wise the Xcape in-ears yield pretty much the same as its main rival the RE0s. Depending on use this can both be a pro and a con, like the forgiving sound signature.
