Please explain what you mean by no success.

Also, why IEM for movie viewing? Do you need the isolation?

I had posted before that I bought a sony rf 970rk wireless and didn't like that because lots of static, I returned that. Today I bought a seinnheiser hd205, I thought the review was good enough especially for the price and ignored the widely complaint of uncomfortability, and they were. I returned them. I don't know which way to go with my less than a $100 budget. I have this cheapo earphones and I like their functionality so I just thought I upgrade them. With earphones I can lie on my sides without putting much pressure on them. If you mean Isolation by blocking out the noise, not necessarily. I've red lots of reviews but so many to choose from.

Check out the yuin pk3/pk2. I find them very comfortable for movie viewing/sleeping.

Those sounds really good, see If I can find them somewhere cheaper, thanks.

Well overall I would say ie8's purely for their soundstage for a universal iem. For $50 may be the ne-7m? Dynamic tend to seem to be great with soundstage from what I have seen.

X2 on the Yuin series - they are earbuds from what I understand so if you lay on your side they wont be pushed too far inside your ears (if at all).

 

[HUNTER12]

Appreciate the suggestions, all have good reviews. It makes it easier to decide.

I decided on the sony mdr xb500, sound and comfort is not bad. This is just the starter, more to come. Thanks for the help.

If you want a real upgrade, look for balanced armatures at the most reasonable price. The candy aisle of earbuds at Walmart is stocked with phones using dynamic drivers. Dynamic drivers are the same kind of speaker you'll find in on-ear and over-the-ears headphones, but at this size, what you usually get is crap. Balanced armature (BA) performs much better, with greater clarity. The difference is like night and day. There are exceptions, such as the Sennheiser IE 6,7, and 8 - which are expensive, high-end phones - but for $50, the typical dynamic driver sounds about as good as a plastic violin.

I think the Head-Direct RE2s are dynamic drivers. They are excellent, especially with the Fiio E5. Together they cost $50. The RE2s by themselves cost $40.
