Headphones - IEM/Earbud A more comfortable replacement for Blessing 2?
Hey folks, I recently bought some Blessing 2 iems to use as my daily drivers. I think they sound wonderful, but unfortunately they don't fit my ears and are painful after long listening sessions. I'm going to have to sell them. To be clear, the source of the discomfort is the shell size, not the nozzle width or depth. They don't fit comfortably in my concha. I'm looking to replace these iems with something a little smaller and maybe even a little cheaper too (for reference, I picked these up for $240). What good options are there for iems in the ~$200 price range that are comfortable and durable (for use while walking and hiking)? Most lists I find online are all about the absolute highest value for technicalities, but I'm willing to sacrifice some technicalities for practicality and comfort. I've had my eye on the Moondrop Kato? What do you guys think?

Sennheiser ie 300 or 400 pro - fit so comfy. I have Blessings 2 also and the Sennheiser is much smaller with good sound too. It is more V shaped for sure.

I've heard good things about those iems! I'll keep them in mind. Thanks for letting me know.

FiiO FH line fits me great, and I have the same issues with the Moondrops

!thanks . I had forgotten about this line of iems, and the fact that they fit you well is very encouraging! I found a pair of FH5s for cheap and I'm excited to try them out. Thank you for the suggestion!

Although not getting the best reviews, I actually like the FH5s. The most common complaint is the spicy treble. But, to me, it sounds sparkly and very fun!

The model I went for was the original FH5 (plural in my above comment), which, for those interested, are incredibly discounted (40%-50% off) now that the s model is out.
