What a coincidence wink wink
Yep, pretty much.
The JVC aren't terrible in comfort but not the best either. When you get a good fit with these though you REALLY get a good fit. So take that in consideration. They remind me of a nice "in-between" in terms of note presentation between the Senns and the Beyers.
My top bet is still on the IE800s though.
Thanks TwinQY and warrenpchi (couldn't double quote on mobile). I agree those tdk's look promising. I dug up a few more options, se215 and eb950. Kinda hoping my list is complete now so I can start a little more research. I've actually ordered the xb60ex on a whim (and recommendation from hifiguy's channel) last week so they arrive tomorrow hopefully. If they are to my liking ill keep them and perhaps buy something to complement them, unless I can have everything in one package. That would be better.
