I have been testing out the Bose MIE2i in ear headphones but I think I am going to return them since I just ordered the B&W C5s and from what I've read those are much better. I just started getting serious about headphones and quickly realized that Bose has excellent marketing to make you believe they are high quality but in most audiophiles views Bose are terrible for their prices. So a question - Does anyone know if the C5s sound near as good as the P5s? Because I just found out about the P5s and the more I read and watch about them I think I may want to get the P5s over the C5s. What do you guys think?

I should also state that these Bose in ears I am currently using tend to make my ears hurt after an hour or so. Even with the wingtip in, I find that my earlobe is constantly being pushed against by the solid part of the headphone.
