Had: a lot, but the most remarkable were SR-X MkIII Pro (monitor, lacking mid/upper bass; lacking upper treble resolution; uncomfortable), Stax Spritzer-404 (Bass a bit uncontrolled, some small residual lambda-ish coloration), Stax SR-003/S-001 MkII (fast! Too warm, soft treble, excessive midbass with the headband; uncomfortable. Audiocats-modded SRM-001 amps are their best match), Apuresound ER4P (the most awesome IEM out of a home rig, reviewed somewhere), Westone 3 (spacious, detailed, reverbs; huge bloom in the lower midrange, with triflanges)
