In ear? vs. On/over ear? Your experience

I have owned over and on ear headphones from some of the best in  the past.  I am once again in the market and wondered about the in-ear option.   The following are my questions/wonderments...

Do in ear become annoying after some time wearing?
How are they sonically?
Do they compete with the best or simply a different catagory?

Thanks

For me over ear always sounds better than in ear.

I went extreme TOTL for in ear set up and just was not satisfied due to limitations of IEMS. Just my opinion but some people love in ears.

IEMs did improve a lot over the years.

I had the u18t, sp2000, and a pw1950 cable. That retails for 7000 together roughly and it didn’t do it for me.

General rule is speakers over headphones over IEMS, but everyone has their own preferences.
