I mean that in order to love the Zen, you need to love EarBuds form factor. It is impossible to fully compare the SUV and a sports car, IMHO. Different challenges and opportunities.

For example, I will never change my Zen on the ASGs, not because they are better or worse, but because I do not like at all IEM. But I love the music, and for me, thank God, and thanks to Lee, there EarBuds VE

Well Zen does sound amazing, but it hurts my ears so bad that I can't use it anymore.  IEM doesn't hurt my ears at all.
 
There's a bit of sharp edge on the Zen if you looked at it carefully, you know what I'm talking about.
 
But yea you're right, I can't compare IEM vs Earbud, but they both produce "Sound", and you can compare "Sound".

Personally for me, the discomfort by using IEM, prevents assess the "sound" to the fullest.

And I am glad that for you and many others, it is not.

Yea I know the "discomfort" that you're talking about with IEM, but for me it's better than getting my ears "hurt".
 
Personally, I still like full size headphone the best.  But it messed up my hair and press downed on my hair so that's why I was looking for something smaller and won't touch my hair
 
So it was either Earbuds or IEM.  I never like IEM cause of the "feeling" of how they block the outside noise in the first place, so that's why I went with the Zen that you guys recommended to me.
 
Zen s ounds amazing, just that it hurt my ears so much.  So I had to settle down on an IEM.

@mochill and @jincuteguy please take Aurisonics talk to either PM or ASG thread as the last 2 pages have been just asg talk and this is the VE thread after all so lets try to stay on topic
 
Comfort is a very personal thing and varies person to person, and this is specially true with earbuds. I personally found them difficult to use first few hours but I got used to it and found it very comfortable to the point I can listen for hours. I agree though that for some people they wont be able to use earbuds as easily.

 

[golov17]

Fully agree

I agree, the pain was there in the beginning, but with using foam it went away for me, if it was any bigger I don't think I could use it. Its a shame really but you gave it a fair shot  
 
I like full size too but there aren't too many good closed backs that I am interested in under 300 dollars so I am sticking to iems and earbuds. I have shifted to earbuds because I am still aware of my surroundings and I like not having to insert it into my ear canal, so my ears aren't fatigued

Yea sorry, my bad I was so excited that's why I totally forgot that this thread is about the Zen

No worries, I can appreciate that you are enjoying you new iem, I love getting new gear myself so I can relate
 
I am actually looking forward to your impressions on them and I do hope you review them or atleast post the impression in the ASG thread as I will be picking up one in the future. If you could also maybe compare them to the zen sound signature that would be helpful as well
