Any other great in-earphones other than iSINE20?
 
I just got my iSINE20 earphone today, and I'm probably returning them because they're very uncomfortable. They sound great overall but I just don't think I'll keep them.

Do you know of any other high end in-ear phones that sound amazing and comfortable?

I really like my Campfire Audio Andromeda's for critical listening. For on the go and ultimate comfort I use my Klipsch X-11's. The Klipsch's are very comfortable and block out most outside sound so very good for flying. The Andromeda's paired with something like an AK 120 give you a realistic audiophile experience on the go.Attachment 49996

That campfire looks very serious. Is aluminum comfortable in ear?

There are dozens of good IEMs. I have Shure SE535s, which are universal fit, and Westone ES50 with custom molded ear-pieces, both of which I find very good, but there are plenty of others who specialize in in-ear monitors, including the likes of Cardas, Jerry Harvey Audio, Noble, Etymotic, and so on. I see in another thread that you already have a pair of Shure SE846 on order, these are excellent phones. A good source of information is innerfidelity.com.

I've been using Shure SE535's for many years, going back to the originals that didn't have the disconnectable cables. Great isolation and deep base to go along with a full mid and top end. A bit pricey, but I'm on my third pair (1 worn out, 1 lost, and the current set).

SE535 and SE846 here, but I use me Grado GH1 more these days.

I find them very comfortable and was sceptical at first but I have a good dealer who lets me try everything in his large selection of IEM's and headphones.
I also have a pair of AKG 3003's which are also very good and I highly recommend them.
Campfire has a new model Orion which is smaller than the andromeda and a little more conventional looking. I found the bass a bit too emphasized in the Orion but still an excellent IEM.

Shure se535 Ltd (red) with Moon-Audio Silver Dragon cables. Very happy with them. Good enough that I'm about to get Silver Dragons in balanced for use with Onkyo DP-X1 that I recently acquired. Comfortable enough and good enough isolation that I have not felt the need to look to custom IEMs.

Anyone have problems with the SE846? Mine just came in, and the left ear sometimes cuts in and out depending on how I move my head. I reconnected the left ear once and it continued, the second time I re-seated the left cable and it seems to happen less. I'm thinking I'll exchange them.

Looks like tons of people having the same issue:
