Can anyone recommend me some good IEM's for gaming?

I cannot use headphones because even the deepest headphones touch my ears, which is uncomfortable after 15 minutes

I ussualy play on PS3 and I don't use earphones... sometimes my Creative Aurvana Live!.. but yesterday i plug TF10 to my computer and nearly got killed...

When i was playing COD4 in multiplayer mode i had a big advantege.. I heard everythig... the big soundstage is awesome..

I know that IEMs aren't ussualy made for games but I think that TF10 are..

EDGE acoustics make in-ears for gaming based on the Etymotice ER-4Ps. Or you could buy a pair of earphones that you like and a mini to mini extender.

Etymotic actually just created a line of gaming IEMs under the brand E.D.G.E Acoustics- the only ones they're selling right now (the GX400s) are $180, but they have some GX100s coming down the pipe that will be cheaper. No idea if these are good, but they're Etymotic so the sound is probably pretty good, and they have a mic built in so you can use them as a headset for online play.

The cord isn't really the problem, cuz I got my DAC next to my mousepad, but some awesome bass, some soundstage, good positioning, that kinda thing. Will the SE530 be good for that?

Hmmm... I used to use the SE530s for gaming. While I never really focused on the differences between my current gaming cans (Ultrasone HFI-780) and the SE530s, generally the consensus is that SE530s have definite treble rolloff.

What does that mean? Basically the SE530s cut off the very high treble frequencies. For gaming, that's actually a very bad thing because footsteps, gunshots, etc. are generally in the treble range,

This is theoretical, however, because I've never really noticed a difference. But then again, I'm an audio noob.

Anyways, my suggestion would be to get ER-4Ps. They are pretty much considered to be one of the best IEMs you can get for under $200.

I use Sony MDR-EX85LP for PC games, consoles with MDR-XD100 or MDR-NC6
