What form of IEM do we need? Successor to KS1.

I'm not a fan of how most headphones fit. Many headphones don't fit the way I'd like, causing a lot of kinetic noise; it gets to the point where it's impractical to use, especially for a few hours. The KBEAR Neon is shaped differently than most regular IEMs and I find the shape and included tips fantastic as they are sensitive to conducted noise. Needless to say they are light enough not to bother me like many others and they are not uncomfortable to wear. I wear them comfortably for hours and don't feel the tiredness I'm used to. with other services. Sonically, it's not at all what I expected from a standalone balanced armature driver. I was expecting a brighter sound, somewhat lacking in fullness and response, but was surprised when they reproduced the bass *very well*. In fact, they tilt slightly at the top, but less than the dynamic driver headphones I'm used to. Here's what you'll find when running something like the KS1: you get less conducted noise for you. More detail in the mids with more coherent and smoother bass (which surprised me a lot) and more natural, less aggressive high-end decay. This is a direct update for KBEAR KS1, especially if you don't like the more common form of IEM for the reasons I've outlined. If you think about it, it's definitely worth it. A must have if you hate conducted noise or standard IEM fit.
