After a bit more use, IMO it may not a good idea to use IEMs regularly as it can be a potential risk to hearing. I notice that the preferred volume I use to hear all the nuances and sound is kinda high. If volume too quiet and lots of random background detail cannot be clearly heard.

I like IEM, but I don't think I'll plan to use it for more than a few hours at a time. Longer than that, I'll need to be cognizant to drop the volume by around 10-20% (basically detail level similar to lower end ear buds). Long term, I want to be able to continue enjoying the music.

Short term/occasional use in rotation and for short durations, this is probably fine, but longer term, this can probably damage hearing. Of all the options, open back headphones is probably best for regular use long term to avoid hearing loss.
