I'm not sure what you mean, but I tried every position possible:upside down, upside up, fully inserted, loosely inserted(worse), small tips, medium, large tips, foam tips etc
they still hurt
bring on the dremel...

Hmmm.  Not sure what's happening.  Mine stick out of my ears a good bit (1/4" or so).  No pain at all.

  I have tried to use mine but the knurling are really hurting my ears. After 5 minutes I just can't stand them in my ears. I can't care about sound when I am not comfortable wearing it. I guess they are not made for me ... or I will have to find a way to remove those damn knurling.
I'll just stick to the Sony MH1C.

The knurling is halfway up the IEM! How deep are you inserting these puppies? lol. jk. Maybe get a strip of smooth electrical tape and use that to cover up the knurling?

Etymotic insertion...

I suggest to Narmoo to avoid knurling for their next IEM. Not only for comfort, but also some of my friends said it looks ugly with the knurling. I know it's just individual preferences, but IMHO smooth bullet shape design is proven to be one of the best IEM design. It doesn't restrict insertion for different depth of ear canal, also 2 ways wearing style, both straight down and over the ears.

I would second these comments. I don't think they are a particularly attractive iem...primarily because of the knurling, but I understand why it would be there from a practical perspective. One of my fav looking iems is the EB110. Doesn't get much more basic than that.

Can anyone compare the S1 to the TTPOD T1E?  I believe they are both dual dynamics.  Would the T1E be an upgrade?
 
Thanks.

I've got the t1e on the way but it will probably be a couple of more weeks since I went with cheap snail mail

Ok, let us know what you think when they finally do arrive.  I'm thinking about putting my VSD3S's in the classifieds because I just can't handle the cable-over-ear form factor.

I tried the MOE SS01, not sure they sound similar to TTPOD T1E, but Narmoo S1, in my opinion, has better tonal balance, more linear, and better dynamic than SS01.

I've been using the Narmoo S1s out of my computer (HRT Microstreamer) for the last few days.  As far as the form factor goes I don't find the knurling to be an issue and I have a small ear, but maybe it's more about ear shape than size.  For sound they're good performers for the money but not spectacular.  The build quality initially appears very good but the driver flex is the worst I've ever encountered so I question longevity.  As dual drivers go they beat out the Brainwavz R1 for sound but lose in every other area (the R1s are excellent for comfort and isolation).

 

[Libertad]

So how do these fair against the brainwavez r3

Probably will get R3 next month, early october I would be able to give some comparisons.
Remind me if I forget

How do these compare against the Vsonic Gr02 Bass Editions? I'm looking to pick up a new set and can't decide between the two. The Gr02 BE's are pretty enchanting with its "fun" sound signature and I do know that the S1 is pretty different in terms of that, but I'm not sure which I prefer. Generally, I listen to alternative (Coldplay, M83, OneRepublic, etc) , soundtrack (Hans Zimmer, Joe Hisashi, etc) , and post-rock (Moving Mountains, Sigur Ros, etc) and I often use my headphones to watch movies. I'm pretty ready to jump on the Narmoo S1's other than the fact that it's recommended that I replace the tips (which I have no spares) and that there are less than 5 reviews of them on head-fi.  I enjoy being enveloped by my music, having sub-bass I can feel and highs that aren't too harsh, so people who have/had both, how do they compare?
