Hello all, I am looking for some IEMs that are easy to insert and remove. Something that I can just pop in without having to do any ear yanking, twisting,etc. Thinking $200 or less


I currently have Ibasso IT01 and while I like the sound of them, I am tired of fighting to get a good fit. That being said my replacements don't have to be like the IT01, I am not a very picky listener so I am okay with a different sound.

I listen to all genres of music but various styles of rock/metal are my main ones.

I will also mostly be using them on the Hiby R5 if that matters.

So, I was thinking possibly a bullet style. I am not sure how to describe the shape so I will attach a picture, but I have pair of cheap headphones that are perfect expect they don't sound good

I appreciate any suggestions!

Oh those look like they would work just fine! Do you know how they sound?

I saw etymotic er3xr on drop for $95. Do you happen to know how they compare? I think the E4000 might suit me better but saving money is always nice

I wish I liked the shape of most of the popular iem. The S12 look nice

Many reviewers find the E4000 sound warm and a little bassy, but very comfortable as well. The ER3XR are a little more clear from the triple-flange ear tips, so if you don't mind the extra-deep insertion, they are well worth the price. Also, the ER3XR and ER3SE (less tonal and slightly more clear) are still both $59, but only with these links:

You can do returns for the price of shipping ($12) with the Adorama offer. And the Etys will give you a lot of detail you're probably not getting now. The ER3XR have a small bass boost compared to the ER3SE -- nothing overbearing -- that makes them enjoyable.

Etys can take a little bit of getting used to, because they do go deeper than most, but do try them with all the tips.

I couldn't stand the triple flanges and couldn't get a seal with the double flanges -- but the gray foam tips shape themselves into a great seal and, after the first couple of uses, they're completely comfortable.

Everyone's ears are different...

So far you've got some pretty good recommendations.

Wonder if it might be the ear tips that are causing these problem instead of the iem your using? I feel finding the right fitting eartip makes a huge difference in getting the right fit. Just something to consider before spending money on new iem.
