Hey can anyone recommend a iem that doesn't really hurt your ears when leaning sideways on a pillow?

My usage would be to watch shows on my phone while laying on my pillow. And with my current iem in my ears, they kinds hurt abit.

A bit of a long shot but thought I would ask anyway.

I wouldn't spend so much on iems if primary usage is with running... its just not worth it. You run a risk of breaking the cable and not being really able to enjoy music realistically. Wireless iems are heavy iems due to their built in batteries.. They aren't really portable and may get warm in use. Sound quality is also quite disappointing in most wireless options.

I personally would just go with xiaomi piston 2. Altho they are one of those durable wired iems. Wired Iems in general, are prone to break under slight abusive usage.
