My work travel started picking up in May so after a bunch of hemming/hawing I decided on a pair of Andromeda 2020’s as my travel IEMs. Currently I’m running them through a AQ Cobalt, and after about 8 trips they still sound fantastic to me. The problem I’m having is with the fit. For whatever reason there is one “point” on the outside of case that seems to hit the cartilage in my ear. I can manage for an hour or two but after a while - even though it seems like an insignificant amount of contact - they become pretty uncomfortable.
- Has anyone else had (or heard of) this issue? 2) Are there any other IEMs that come to mind that have a similar sound quality that aren’t so “geometric”? I love the way they look, and love the color, but if I can’t wear them for a long trip I need to find something else.
I know I can always go the custom route, but for now I’d like to stick with universals until I find one that’s “so good” it justifies going custom since that’s pretty much a one-way ticket.
