Hi guys,
 
I have been simply using Apple's earbud headphones with my phone for a long time, however they break extremely often, I think I'm on my third pair now due to wire wear and tear. (One or both channels cut out eventually)
 
I was eager to try some using IEM's at one point a year ago, but after buying the Sennheiser CX1.00 I found them extremely uncomfortable and gave up using them after a week or two, this has really put me off spending any more money on IEM's.
 
Therefore I was hoping someone could recommend me a decent pair or earbuds to buy, thanks!

Did you experiment with different tips? For example, perhaps foam tips would make your IEMs more comfortable.

Yes it always pays to experiment with the eartips - much cheaper and easier than changing your ears!
 
A few months ago I did a comparison between SoundMAGIC's earbuds which I thought would be a challenge, but the EP30 actually sounded pretty good - http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/reviews/soundmagics-earbuds-ep10-ep20-and-ep30-review/

Hi have you thought about getting clip-on headphones? I just bought the ATH-EW9 and they are wonderful!

I have the Bose SoundSports. Seriously are the most comfortable thing ever. Would highly recommend them in terms of comfort.
