The SE530's sound amazing but I don't like putting the wires over my ear and I don't like how they take so much time to put it in my ears because of the larger size and how they are specific to L and R.

Is there any other alternatives in the SE530's category that are smaller and more like the ER6i's in terms of fit?



The Klipsch Image X10 are extremely light (10 g), cord is worn down and they are extremely easy to insert and remove. Seal is excellent. Strong bass similar to the SE 530's. Some find the mid's slightly recessed and treble slightly rolled off. Many complain about cord microphonics but I find that a clip minimizes this. I have rarely used my SE530's since getting the X10's a year ago. The Klipsch X-5 may be another alternative that is slightly larger but is reportedly better balanced.
