Hi guys,

I know I will regret buying another pair of IEMs, but I don't feel comfortable posting on head-fi until I am broke again

So which pair of IEMs would you recommend to a "IEM-hater"? So far the er6 were most comfortable, but there was missing too much soundquality-wise...

I like the phones in my signature, so I dont mind if there is a pair of IEMs that sound as similiar to one of those pair of headphones

Thanks,
André

ACS T2- sound-quality, comfort wise (the softest of all IEM's) and whatever else you might think of.

Well it really depends on what you find uncomfortable about them. Personally I don't like phones that go really deep so the Super.fi line works the best for me, but they're rather large so they might be more uncomfortable for you. It's all relative.

Customs will obviously be the most comfortable, but that's a pretty big leap to take if you don't like IEMs in the first place.

I say the UE super fi 5pros

general consensus is that the westone monitors are the most comfortable.

Custom fits?

Westone UM2 is definitely the most comfortable of the ones I have (Shure E2,3,4,5, Etymotics (all) and SF Pros.

Wow that's alot of IEMs. No westones?

Ideally custom moulds, but otherwise westone's are the best for comfort.

UM2..........I said they were the most comfortable.

As for Etymotics, i find the ER-6 quite comfortable. I just don't yet know why sometimes my ears start itching after having them in for half an hour and sometimes its perfectly fine.
Microphonics on the cable is nasty though, but can be avoided by wearing the cable over your ears quite well.

Custom molds/fits are not really an options, since I live in germany... sending my ears over to the USA is not really an option...........blah, spend too much time in the sun today

 

[w&q]

westone um1 is definitely the most comfortable one i have tried, especially with the comply tips.

 

[Jam_Master_J]

E500 are the most comfy I've tried so far. Followed by the E4 and ER4(they're close)

Another vote for the Westone UM2.
