Hmm - maybe Sony? I'm not really sure what part of those 'phones you like - do you mean something that sits in the outer ear, or something that has a cord that hangs down, or what?

Do you have a budget?

Have you looked at this thread? http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-329-iems-compared-tekfusion-twinwoofers-added-12-02-14-p-1008

Yes, the design that sits on outer ear, sub 300 is acceptable, sub 100 is preferred,
I saw the thread, but I have only seen the ones with silicon tips that goes into your ears :frowning2:

That's because outer ear canal phones are just not normally capable of providing high-quality sound. Usually, you need the inner-ear insertion to create the seal needed to generate bass, reduce unwanted distortion and provide isolation.

You might be better off with on-ear headphones.

I think you've stumped me on this one. These seem close to the Bose IE2, but I think they also may insert deeper than you like.

If you like the Bose, then buy the Bose!

I have prominent ears and wear glasses, and also like to have the headphones on for a long period, so my only other option would be on-ear with not large swivel earpad and light pressure and also good sound quality, which I have been having trouble finding one
