So I've been having my Sennheiser IE6 for some time now and am overall quite content with the sound.
What's really unnerving though is that I can't listen for longer periods of time with them because they're so uncomfortable that I always end up getting a headache.
I've been using Comply tips from the beginning on but even those didn't help. With my previous IEMs (cheap AKG K330) I didn't experience that discomfort... so now I'm looking to phase out the IE6 in favor of some more comfortable IEMs.
As I said before I kind of like them soundwise, for most bass-heavy music I prefer them over my K240 (my main headphones). The only thing that irks me are the sometimes weak mids... those could be a little more present in the new IEMs.
I listen to quite a broad range of music, mostly altern-rock, post-rock, some jazz and electro.
Price-wise I'd be willing to spend up to €250, if good IEMs can be had for under that price it's of course fine too
What should also be mentioned is that I have quite tiny ear canals, so the new IEMS should have really small tips.
Thanks!
