Hoping for your help.

Sorry I tend to right as little as possible because I am not so good in explaining things in english :)

 

Maby I take it in steps. starting whith a not so expensive one and uppgrade later. But my goal is to get as good sound as possible for a reasenable sume. I think that max right now is about 300$. If I like the 601 that I havent heard. then I maby uppgrade to 801.

 

As a beginner its hard to know where to start.

Audeo phonak has a detailed natural sound . Below 100 dollar . Perfect fit.

but.... I use it only for undisturbed listening because you need to focus to really appreciate this iem. High gain. Lossless music or 24/96 flacs.

Not for traveling or busy places

I will highely recommend the neutral, balanced IEMs with HM_601 warm soundsignature like HF5, RE272, CK10, ER4P, DBA_02, TF10Pro and EX7550.

TF10s are the most airy phones I have heard.

Earsonics SM3 v1 I have heard pair very well with the HM601, but then again they are not very source-dependent and sound very good with most sources.

Sennheiser HD558 is a great starting choice for jazz. I use with 602 and it has a open wide stage feel with clear sound and good bass. I use RE262 also for travel, great.
