Hi all.

I am looking to upgrade my standard apple in ears.

Currently i am using these buds http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/08/isuck-apples-five-worst-products-... and then look for the buds. They are 'flat' and don't go in the ear that much.

 

But looking for an upgrade, but my problem is that I am afraid that my option are very limited for an premium in ear phone because anything going further in my ear... My ears just don't like the feeling.

So far I tried these 2 models

 

- Bowers and wilkins C5. Didn't get them in. Felt horrible

- Bose IE2: Same story, but went in...

Looking at for example the Klipisch x10I, I think I wil have the same problem and most of the top end seem to have this problem.

 

Is there anyone who can help?

Suggestions for a bigger headphone, so not in ears are also welcome. And please no Monster by Dre...

 

What I look for:

- Good sound

- Comfort comfort comfort: I use them everyday, and sometimes for long journeys

- If you suggest a bigger then in ear headphone, it needs to be foldable, so travel friendly...
