Afternoon Overclockers,
I've had some Shure SE215 for a good few years now, but I can only wear them for two hours maximum as they cause quite substantial ear pain - the pain is not in the ear canal, but rather in the cartilage of the concha.
Any recommendations for IEMs that are less likely to do this? I'm no bass head, generally more of a neutral fan, with a keeness for sound stage but also sound isolation (a challenging combination I realise). Must be wired IEMs, I'm not looking for wireless or over/on ear headphones as I've already a few pairs.
Currently looking around the £200 bracket, and the Sennheiser IE300 seem to rate pretty highly for ear comfort due to their small size and relatively impressive sound staging, albeit with standard V tuning and bass emphasis?
Any other suggestions would be great.
Hugh
