Look up Zpolt sound tests on youTube. They won't give you an accurate picture of exactly what an IEM will sound like, but it will give an idea of how several iems will sound compared to each other. Not everything will come across as the audio will be compressed and nothing will sound any better than what you're playing them through. It won't tell you how wide the soundstage is or how good the details are. It will give you an idea of which is warmer or brighter, if the treble is intrusive, whether mids are too recessed. Read or watch reviews for the rest. SiriusB, Poles Audio and Dans audio reviews also do soundtests. I admit to getting the Tipsy TTromso after hearing a sound sample comparison to the Olina.First of all, thank you both very much ^^
I assumed something similar honestly, but since they usually talk about pairing with certain sources and amplification capabilities i didn't want to miss an "important" part honestly. I guess my only path for now is to focus on something easy to handle anywhere and eventually, if I can, get a better source.
Honestly, this answer was very helpful, and I appreciate it very much.
If I could define the sound signature I prefer, I think it's undoubtedly close to the classic V-Shape, but I'm sensitive to treble, so I prefer that region to have just the right amount of brightness to avoid tiring me out (or worse, making my ear suffer) but also to still stand out and have just the right amount of brightness. I definitely prefer the bass to be powerful but fast and not to oppress the rest of the frequencies (I should clarify that I haven't tested many audio devices and much less "serious" audio, so I haven't defined my preferences yet).
About my musical preferences, I essentially listen to a lot of pop or popular genres (particularly electronic genres), but I'm also very versatile and can end up listening to some albums or playlists of more "traditional" and acoustic genres, so I would value a pair that are all-terrain in that sense.
Redcarmoose's review sealed the deal, it's my current favourite!

This next one gives a good variety of IEMs, particularly TinHifi T3+, Aria and Meteor
