I have the UE Superfi 5Pro's and whenever I grin, laugh, etc. they pop out and become unsealed and I have to push them back in. I think this is because they're more "seal" earphones than true canalphones. Maybe my ears are just too slippery/lubricated? Anyway, my question is, which IEMs go in deep enough that I won't have this problem?

Apologies for the double entendres.

I had the same problem with my Panny RP-HJE50's but my Senn CX300's have never had that problem.

You should try cleaning the inside of your ear or somewhere around there with some soap when you shower.

My ears are crazy supercalifragilistic clean though! My Doctor told me I had the cleanest ears she ever saw. I clean them everyday, so there!

Can someone please answer if the E4C's or UM2's et al. go in a lot deeper than the UE's? Thanks!

The UE's don't go in that far; more in the length of semi-canals.
E4's have various tips, including the tri-flange which go much deeper into your ears.

My e2cs would do that, then I switched to the soft sleeves. Never had that problem with hte foams though.

Did you have the problem with the soft sleeves?

I do listen to Margaret Cho stand-up sometimes. She induces lots of IEM popping fun!

I guess The Streets can make me laugh sometimes. I must be too serious.

BTW, Akoustik, I know it always sounds a little cheesy when people ask this, but is your avatar a picture of you?

Can't say that's ever happened to me.

She's trying to contain a crazy grin in that picture. It must be her.

HOW COULD YOU GET RID OF YOUR AKG K271S'S!!!!!

Just kidding, as I am looking into a new home can myself, but I need to do some research before I actually get rid of these babies....the lack of bass has finally gotten to me.

Oh and back to the subject... I haven't had much problems with IEM's popping out of my ears when I smile or laugh, although they popped out once when I held in a sneeze.
