Would you be able to splurge a bit for a the dunu sa6? Comfort on that thing is off the charts. Fits super well in most ears. Also what kinda of sound are you looking for. Depending on that, some sets you may be able to find even cheaper that will work for you

Do a crossover with the audio signal, use your chair as a subwoofer

They just can't produce the low end right. Jamming a driver down my ear has always freaked me out too.

Edit: I'm also a musician so I use my headphones for referencing my own mixes that's probably why the idea of $500 iems seems so ridiculous to me.

You asked for "good"

I can give you budget recommendations too: U12T, qdc Anole VX

If you want ultra budget: Sony IER-M9, Elysian GAEA, Softears Twilight

\s

This was in jest. I saw you mentioned a $400 limit for your budget. Why don't you try the Aful performer 5?

Dunu SA6s are really good!

I would also recommend Moondrop Variations. They’re on a crazy sale right now on shenzhenaudio.com.

$520 down to $442. There’s a coupon for $5 off so that brings it down to $437. There’s no tax and free shipping. It’s a steal.

Sennheiser ie600 are around that. Got some on here for around $550. Really enjoying them, and they sound really energetic and fun.

Edit: they are also extremely low profile when in use and super comfortable for most people I've seen.

I finally thought I was doing well for myself so I went to a la-z-boy store to replace the 30 year old recliners I got from my grand parents. Looked at that exact recliner to your left. Turns out I don’t make La-z-boy money.

Once you find good tips, you won't be bothered. I also hated Iems back in the day, but it was just because I wasn't using the right tip size.

For that reason, I would go for FH7s over FH9 (much lighter and 95% of the sound quality).

If you don't want to use your whole budget right away just to experiment, you could always go with something good but cheap like moondrop aria's. Then you can see if it's what you're looking for, and upgrade after

Do these have Transparency mode? Where I can hear my surroundings? I don’t want to go hiking and not hear around me.

I know the bone conduction earbuds can but then sound quality may be bad

Have been trying a lot of iems lately, u12t, meteor, andromeda, variations, monarch mkii, etc

You are not going to achieve the same soundstage and dynamics you get with over-ears. You get some advantages in imaging and details, the u12t is incredibly resolving, but I don’t find them nearly as comfortable as over-ears.

APP2 are clearly not at the same level as the above listed, but man, they sound really good. The difference is not night and day.

However, they cost at least half of all of themPlus, they are soo comfortable, I forget I have them on. Plus they are wireless. Plus you get amazing noise canceling. Plus you have controls on it. I am fully convinced they are the best cost/value headset out there

The only downside is that they are going to be garbage in a few years.

I have now read that your limit is 400 dollars . My suggestion to you is to get a pair of 400-500 dollar iem (variations, dunu Sa6 are good ones) that you can return/sell with ease, and a/b them with your app2.

Ps Check this list to help your choiceprecog’s. I agree with most of his grades and grading system. Just be warned that 1-2 grades of difference are not much.

Until you hear about how common it is for people to become trapped inside them and someone needs to call 911 to come and rescue them out of it.

https://www.insideedition.com/are-massage-chairs-safe-inside-edition-investigates-as-over-2000-er-visits-in-last-decade-involved

It’s crazy how if the chairs air mechanism breaks the airbags inflate and refuse to release the air and your limbs can become fully immobilized so you’re permanently trapped.

Just make sure you always use those things around another person so they can call 911 for you if the chair fails. If you live alone, don’t ever buy one.

The HD800s name is stupid, why not call it 801 or something, now its confusing as fuck, is it 800, or 800s, or 800S ? Lots of people refer to the 800 as the 800s , just like most people refer to the ananda as the anandas, or sundara as sundaras, or focal clear as focal clears.

No offence but massage chair is overrated. If you want to live or play the high life, get a personal massage therapist. A skilled one with proper education wins against any massage chair anytime. OK, I should be honest. I have not used massage chairs for about 20 years, but I doubt they can match an serious professional to date.
