Does anyone else have the problem where the ears get sore right where the concha of the outer ear meets of the start of the ear canal? I have this problem with some IEMs and not with others and was wondering if you guys had a remedy or something. It's kinda weird... Ones that I have this...

I was eyeing the UE 500 because of the relatively large discount currently found on Amazon. Currently my budget is low because I just bought a new phone. The ones you mentioned look like they would be great, but I don't think I can afford another $30 for a pair... :/

Thanks! I'm not too worried if the sound signature is different (I'm trying out different types to see what I like best). The reason I was wondering is because my ears are a bit weird and the only IEMs I can wear for a long time without my ears hurting are the ADDIEMs. So, because of that, I was...

Can someone tell me if the UE 500 has a similar diameter housing wise to the ADDIEMs? Not the part where the sound comes out from, but the whole housing. Like, when looking at it with the place where the sound comes out from directly pointed at you, what is the dimension of the widest part of...

How do the new EarPods by Apple compare to the ADDIEMS?    Thanks! 

I know the price range is extremely low, but my friend wants an in-ear earphone that is under 20$ retail price. She says she wants a warm sound signature, but other than that she knows nothing about headphones...and I don't know that much either.    Thanks for the help

Very true, very true 

Sorry, I can't seem to find where I saw that...   I've been digging around and how do the Sony XBA-1 compare with the UE 500? 

Quote: I've done a bit a research, and I'm not saying you're wrong, but other people seem to say the UE 500s are more balanced and not bass-heavy (someone even said that some people may call it bass-light). Could it be you mixed it up with another IEM?    Thanks for the help! 

That's what I'm worried about, getting a fake. What about only design wise? But still with good sound quality

Oh, I see. Well, I feel like the Addiems sound the best to me. But the problem is how much they cost, I currently don't have enough money to go buy one... Are there any similar ones design and sound wise to the Addiems that are still cheap? 

Well...honestly I have no idea. I'm really new to this this stuff and I'm still experimenting with what type I like. So far both the Addiems and the M4s sound pretty good to me, but I am willing to try other sound signatures. Mostly I'm interested in the comfort of the ear phones and the sound...

What headphones are similar to the Apple In-Ear Headphones design wise, especially how big the body is diameter wise. I am wondering because I currently have a pair of Brainwavz M4s but my right ear begins to hurt after about 30 minutes, but when I used my friend's Apple In-Ear Earphones they...

Anybody else having a problem where the Brainwavz M4s hurt your ears over a certain duration of time? For me it hurt where the concha meets the ear canal, towards the lower area. Perhaps someone knows a fix?

Well, at least I know the cause now! 

I am currently using the silicon tips. The pain seems to go away, at least the pain doesn't come within 30 minutes, with foam tips, but my ears get itchy after a while and it feels like there is pressure in my ear sometimes...I guess I have sensitive ears :/     I thought it would end...

Thanks guys! I currently have a pair of Brainwavz M4s. Although in my opinion they're great, but I don't know much about good audio xD I am thinking about getting a new pair since my right ear seems to hurt when I wear them for only about 30 minutes. It's the lower back of the ear, right...

Anyone out there know any good IEMs/Earphones for about $40 and under?
