Hi all,
I plan to make my first CIEM early this year. Had some chat with the local brand here, they pretty much advised me against going the custom route due to 2 main reasons: resell value and wearing comfort. Now let’s focus on the topic of comfort only. I read many posts regarding comparisons of UIEM vs CIEM, and all of them mentioned that a well-made CIEM is far more comfortable to wear. But the local rep here said that the contact area will become hot and will make your ear sweaty over long period. Also, with ciem you can't really adjust any aspects of the wearing comfort through the use of tips - which is understandable. My question is, do you experience any discomfort with your CIEM? Will the heat become a problem? For context, I only listen indoor, with room temperature maintained at 27 degree celcius. Thank you very much!
