This is helpful, and I've heard similar from others with finicky ears like mine, so I will cross 622B off my list. My top uncomfortable UIEMs are Grand Maestro and Maestro SE, and there is no sense giving a shot to something that could join that group.
the maestro se was a nightmare for my ears but the 622b was comfortable and easy to fit. hopefully you can come across a pair to evaluate the fit

Hey peeps, I have been gone for quite a bit, but I found the audio passion again. Now with in-ear monitors!
Here's some pics I took of the Myer-Audio CK-D41, and a Gladiator Rubino Harmony cable:

For Volur I take it you can’t hear that gargantuan upper treble peak that’s in the tuning? For me it was far too airy up top, it sounded like my ear drums were being sliced open with certain tracks.
Blessed are those who can't treble.

Meanwhile me: Where is the treble on this? HISSSSSSS
The Sovereign Symphony cable is straight up voodoo stuff. I love how it manages to remain a mostly neutral and organic sound while boosting perception of detail and image size, and for such a chunky and hefty cable it's surprisingly comfortable. Its synergy with Storm is fantastic but I find it pairing up very well with other sets too.
They got the naming and aesthetic down pat. If only they had decided to go with something other than PVC insulation it might have convince me to break my self imposed limit on cables this once.

That being said I'm not sure how I feel about it relative to the Storm. I do know a crazy Storm owner paired Gladiator's Cleo with theirs over the Mira.

Wading into the best wife thing, here's what mine said "You're free to tell the Coolers I'm the best, but I'm still not helping you get Viento D"

@AxLvR Interesting analogy with the cars. Family car is a Honda CRV and I can definitely outrace one of those monsters in medium density traffic conditions. So maybe I'm crazy enough to do that.

I love the insulation on the NightJar cables, they're really soft and supple.

I am not a fan of the Mira at all, I think a coat hanger might be better for Storm than Mira. 🤣.
