I've always wished I could use ''in ears''. I've had so many pairs. I have some Sennheisser's at the moment, but dont use them much.. same problem it's always been.
One ear (of strange design) they just fall out (slightly) but enough to lose all bass in that ear.
Once at a hifi show I went to the Jays stand. They had loads and loads of different sizes of in-ears. I tried them all - I couldn't get a lasting air-tight fit with any of them.. same problem, bass fell out in one ear.
It was at that point I gave up on in-ear headphones and went to overhead types.
I know that some custom made in-ears may have solved the problem - but what a risk!!! - £200-£300, and there is always the possibility that these may have fallen out of my ear too ... less likely but I couldn't dismiss it.. and over the head cans of course never have this problem.
Anyway, back on topic.
I've had loads of cans over the years, but seem to gravitate towards Beyer, Audio Technica and Sennheisser (and Koss too)..
There may be rip off cans now, but you can still get Koss Porta Pro's for nothing,

Audio Technica's ad700's are only about £90 delivered (RRP £150)
