In the custom IEM field it's not uncommon to have to have your ear pieces re-fitted. If you still have your Livewires, Earpeace Technologies will happily re-fit yours free of charge as part of the warranty. The fit and seal contribute to the bass significantly. I'd call them and see what they can do for you. Mine have been very comfortable and I've worn them for 10hrs straight on a flight to Europe. It sounds as if your Livewires didn’t fit correctly.

I'm overly disappointed in them. You're right about them being way too sensitive. You will have to turn your source down about half of what you're used to listening to it at. The cables are to long and get caught on everything. Dual drivers were a selling feature to me until I got them. My reaction to the sound quality was the opposite of yours. The mids and highs over power the bass leaving you to increase it on your EQ. Then the drivers are over driven and sound terrible. If they put resisters on them to help with the sensitivity and sound it would help a lot. Basically I liked them at first but the more I listened to them I found out it was only for their noise reduction qualities that I did. I've ended up going back to my Sonys to hear some bass without my ears bleeding from all the highs that these put out. Now if I want quite I put in my custom made silicone ear plugs and enjoy. The hard plastic that they use isn't as comfortable for me. My ears hurt after an hour where I can go all day at the racetrack with my silicone plugs. I would have sent them back for a refund but life got in the way and I missed the 30 deadline. At $250 I guess you get what you pay for when everything else starts at $600 and goes way up from there.
