Returning my hifiman he-500 for LCD-2 rev.3 , need something that's really comfortable with preferably a warm sound signature that I can use for music+ teamspeak for ~1-2 weeks.

 

I'll be using them ~6-12 hours a day, so preferably really comfortable.

 

Also would be a plus to be able to use them with my o2+odac, even if I have to turn it down to 10% volume, so I don't have to use my onboard. (It's atrocious)

I have a pair of Sol JAX. I like the sound signature, slightly warm with punchy bass, although not out of controll like some other earbuds.

How good are those? The $10 used ones are tempting.

Never buy used ear-anything. Never.

 

They got a better bass response than the two other MEElectronics pairs I have, and they're well-built enough to have lasted me through quite a few snags.
