Brand new to canals. I never liked anything in my ears, in my eyes, around my face. I've looked and looked all over for the smallest and light weight in ear phones I could find with good quality. So I got the UE 700. Yes, they are tiny and weigh almost nothing. When they are being used it just looks like wires coming out of my ears. You pretty much have to pull the wires a little to get them out.
Anyway, even how small these are, great sound quality I'm still having a problem having them in my ears. Just 30 minutes or less I'm wanting to pull them out. Paying a little over $200, I'm debating to return them and find an alternative even though I may have to sacrifice quality sound.
I think I may want to look for on ear portables or something like a hybrid. Do they make a hybrid type headphone? I've also thought since this has been the first time ever using any in ear anything I may just have to get use to them. So now I'm thinking I may just need time to get use to them or these in fact are just not comfortable enough for me. Multiple silicon buds come with them, but I've noticed other models having a "christmas tree" type bud also. Are these in general more comfortable?
I like quality stuff, so I've been checking out Shure, UE, Etymotic. Anyone suggest other brands that make a good quality headphones to try out either in ear or on ear? I'm wondering if there are any small on ear phones that sound as good as in ear? I know the physics, so I doubt there is but maybe something comes close I have yet discovered.
Thanks.
