Anyone use these all day? Does the sound signature get fatiguing at all?

I dont get fatigue at all, but my longest period using these IEM might not be the whole one day. Can you specify more about the duration you meant before?
The small / medium comply T-100 with the small / medium Shures seem similar in size. The Comply's have nothing as wide as the Shure large. It's just crazy big.
The 'Standard' P-series is longer than the rest and even when trimmed makes the best and deepest seal. The diameter of the T-100 is fine for me, but it's too short for a complete seal.
Hope that helps.
As for the SE215 v. E4c: Thanks for the comparison. The E4c is still a pretty darn good IEM. It's a little slow and muted, but not bad. It's got a slight roll-off in the highs and not the greatest bass response, but it's a perfectly respectable unit that is relatively neutral through the rest of the spectrum. Yes the fit of the E4c is very easy to work with. The SE215 (I assume), is much like many of the other newer Shure's (and other mfgr's) in that it's body sits flat against the concha. There is not much adjustment possible. So the length of the added tip will determine the depth.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the help. I might give the P series a try, thanks for the links.
I agree the E4C is a good IEM, mine are still working after 5-6 years of use, its just the rubber strain relief where the cable enters the ear phone is perishing and I expect it would not last much longer before any strain presented would then be put on the actually wire connections. I'm keeping the E4C for an emergency pair of IEM's.
The SE215s beckoned, though I had promised myself and my wife I wouldn’t buying any more IEMs after this year’s SM3s and W4s. But they were only $100. What can I say?
Winner: The W3s are the clear winner. Okay, they cost 3.5x as much as the SE215s. But wouldn’t it have been nice for them to have bested the W3s?

Finally, the cable is pretty long. It should work well for you if you’re a seven foot tall basketball player.

wow I am just not hearing these the same as others...swapped them out for my m6p's today at the gym and enjoyed the m6's much more than the 215's. To my ears the regular turbines are far more enjoyable than the 215's and my Miles Davis' are so much better its not even much of a comparison. To me the lack of high end feels way too unbalanced and off putting. Think I will probably sell mine and go with the m6's for the gym. I am not trying to start any arguments or disagree with anyone, just expressing a differing opinion
I just got mine in today and am really impressed. I do have one "problem" though. It seems that the right ear piece is louder than the left. Both of them fit snug with the large foam tips and I have them in as far as they can go, but for some reason i keep hearing like the right is louder. Is this something that will balance out over time and maybe a good burn in, or are these defected? Im just listening on my laptop and I know with my other IEM's it sounds even as can be. Any htoughts?
they should be identical from the outset. have you tried swapping them round, and different sources? is the jack fully inserted? if its not all the way in it'll sound odd
