Canal Phones - Most Comfortable?
Any suggestions on the most comfortable In Ear or Canal Phones?
I am a B&O A8 user and was looking to move to In Ear.
Are any tips more comfortable than the other? By the way, sound quality is pretty important ad well.
Thanks.

It would be immensely helpful if tell us what your budget is, so we don't have to present u with the universe of IEMs.

Some ppl never get used to IEM 'cos they are really earplugs + phones in-one. There are no one universally acknowledged as more comfortable than others, there are however some that are said to be easier-to-fit than others.
IEMs comes with plastic (vinyl?) flanges "buds" and foam (formies) buds. Most people, even the diffult-to-fit kind, find the foams comfy.
I say don't worry about fitting as you are going to have to spend time doing that anyways with ANY IEM. Just pick a few in your price range and then research the heck out of those u picked. Go over to head-fi.org, that's were all headphone geeks hang out. Traffic here kinda slow.
The next thing u wanna know is, what kind of music u listen to, most of the time. Earphones are known to favor certain type of music.
