With regards to the E2's- we've sold well over 1500 pairs of these
phones over the last year and I've only had 6 pairs returned due to
people not finding them comfortable- it does depend on the shape of
your ear though- mine fit perfectly using the standard sleeve
supplied and I've never experienced actual disomfort with them- as
you say, everyone is different though.
cheers

You're required to learn to jam - and I mean *jam* the earpieces
deeply
into your ears - luckily Shure provide a wide range of sizes and
varieties of pieces to suit most ears.
You should be prepared for a period of discomfort whilst you're
getting
used to this. But also, I've read that some people never do get
used to
the experience and ultimately regret buying 'em. Therefore you should
ask around before you buy.
All that aside, these earphones, used correctly, are better than any
I've ever used on frequency range, accuracy, transparency and just
sheer
joy of use.
I recommend with provisos.
(Apropos on-topic: today I have a selection of Subject 12s on my iPod:
'Ship Life', 'R.I.D.E', 'Physics', 'Unleashed', Longevity 1 & 2.
I really appreciate the fact that Dj Bone seems to understand that
over-compression isn't imperative.)

My vote goes to Koss Porta-Pro. Here's why:
- Lifetime warranty (yay)
- Nice foldable design
- good OOMPH on the bass frequencies (some people do not like this,
give them a test run before buying).
Oh and they're very affordable :)
