    Why do my livewires sound like garbage when I insert the plug all the way into the jack?

    Just got a new set of wires for my livewire IEM's, and they sound like garbage now. Definitely a technical issue. However, when I pull the connector from the jack ever so slightly so that it sits there somewhat loosely, it sounds fine. I've tried with multiple sources and have the same problem...

As such, I already haul a ton of crap through the airport with my laptop, 2 phones, adapters aplenty, and other gear...

    Custom IEM advice?

    Background: I am on an airplane at least 2x-3x/week and have ear buds in for 5+ hours most days. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I'm tired of ill fitting ear buds. I want to invest in something more comfortable. 90%+ of my listening is MP3's or XM, so my needs are a little different...
