We've summarized the main four shapes of in-ear monitors in comments, including the common football shape in our earlier products,the classic cylindrical shape, the ciem-like shape, the derivatives of ciem-like shape. So which one will you prefer among them? We have been making headphones for some years and made some progress, but there's a lot we need to learn and understand from dear you. So please participate in our survey if you are interested in it, which will help us be better and provide you better products.

Well, shure and Meze were more toward. football shaped and the most comfortable IEM’s I’ve owned.
CIEM style typically fit me well.
The most important aspect for my personal fit is long enough nozzles.

For me CIEM-esque Acrylic are just lazy attempt at making universal IEM with mostly OK comfort. Really none of them stand the test of time and worse, are recognizable at first Glance for what they are as they basically all look the Same with just a flat cosmetic plate differentiating them.

People who can cram their drivers into the smallest possible form while retaining fantastic sound and comfort are the innovators IMO, thus I put KSE1500 as it's champion.

Cylindrical and CIEM-like are the best for me.

Of all the IEM's I own, way too many, the Football shaped ones are the ones that fit me the best. Perhaps it is the shape of my ear that is the reason for this but the football shape is my favorite.
