HI, I just ordered a RSA Tomahawk

, and I am looking to an IEM... I have a e2c, however, I do not find it comfortable... therfore my question.... I have heard that the e500 are very comfortable, however, I may also consider others (E4P?) if they are good sounding and more comfortable.

Thanks!

I have the E500, and can confirm that they are indeed very comfortable. They are the most comfortable earphone I've ever owned or tried. I can lay on my pillow while listening to them.

....my wallet is scared....very scared!

I heard the UM2 is comfortable... I'd wait for the Westone 3 though

. I heard the Westone 3 is as comfortable as the UM2 except the Westone 3 has 3 drivers =].

Your wallet should be!
Especially when you ask for "comfortable IEMs."
My wallet scared to death and dried out after I got my 2X-S...

I'm also very curious about Westone 3, the look, the sound, everything~
Wonder when it would be available.

Ideally, custom moulds are the most comfortable. You can buy them for ~150-175$ US + impressions at earplugstore. Then you can use them with whatever universal IEM you want. Earmoulds + UM2 = better than E500 and about the same price.

I'm in love with the comfort of the UM1's. I can sleep on my side with them in my ears with absolutely NO discomfort.

I hear customs are pretty comfortable. What about UE-10 Pro's?

I think that my djays are very comfortable, with foamtips that is, i don´t like those rubber/silikon ones..

I also have an custom earpiece it´s very comfortable can´t even feel them, but they do not seal properly

so the sound is very thin....

Maby because it´s a protective model and not made for music, I don´t now.

If any has an advice how to make them seal better I would love to know..

Customs would be great... however, I am located in Costa Rica, and I would need to search more for options... (not probable), but I am open to any advice

Thank you all for your replies.... more options?!

I have the E500s....very very comfortable. Sits flush against your ear.

 

[mazinger]

so, guess it is between e500, UM1 and UM2.... I am looking into comfort, for long playing sessions and of course, excellent sound!... anybody has tried these, and is willing to provide further compartison between them? thanks!

 

[jdimitri]

No doubt, UM1
Um2 is a little bigger, but if you have the $ i say go for it

what do you find discomfit about iems? is it the size/weight/shape of the e2c?
or is it just having something jammed in your ear?
