First off all, i'd like to give a big thank you to the community for helping me down my path to audiophile-ness, it's been a fantastic journey.
For the most part I've stuck to circumaural headphones since I used to find IEMs pretty uncomfortable. Problem is, I never tried any higher end IEM models (last pair I had were some V-Moda Vibes -- not fantastic phones if you ask me), and those were extremely uncomfortable. I realize comfort will most likely be different for each person but if you guys could point in the right direction of a pair thats comfortable and has fantastic sound quality i'd be much appreciated. I think comfort would mean three things: being able to keep the earphones in without getting some discomfort after a short or long period of time, the ability to take them out somewhat often (these will be for office and travel use), and the earphones not being too fussy about how you put them in (not sure if thats a pipe dream or not).
I tried to find some earphones in the big multi-reviews, but I'm so new in the IEM space I got completely lost. I will not be using these with a portable amp of any kind, this will strictly be for listening directly from an iPhone 4.
Thanks again guys!
