I am a frequent traveler in search of an upgrade from my audio technica ath-anc7 travel headphones. I like these a fair bit but being on-ear they tend to hurt my ears after a couple of hours and the sound quality is not as great as I'd like. I bought a pair of Ety HF3s, but the default flanges cut the inside of my ear canal and I was unable to get a good enough seal with them. I'm hoping that you fine folks will be able to point me towards either IEMs that sit easier in the ears (Phiaton PS 20s?), tips that can create a decent seal without the deep insertion (Shure Olives?) or any AHC over-ear headphones that aren't terrible sonically.
I primarily listen to 256k MPs and movies - my tastes run to 70s-80s punk, new wave, post-punk and (as my username says) shoegaze.
Thanks for any help you may be able to throw my way!
