Hello fellow Head-Fiers. I'm in the market for an IEM between $500-$1k that is smooth, great vocals and on the warmer side. I own Elysian Annihilators and while they are just amazing and incredibly satisfying, I would like a warmer and frankly less expensive IEM to go out and about.

Thanks in advance!

Oriolus Isaballae is lush, romantic, excellent timbre. One of my favorite IEMs, punches WAY above its weight. Well rounded notes, thick.

Bravado MK2, if you're willing to EQ and tone down the bass a bit.

M9 or the Andro 2020 (not sure about the new one)

AüR Audio Aurora would be my pick. As a point of reference, it is less bright than the M9. SR8 with both switches down is also a good choice.

Oriolos Isabellea is warm, smooth, lush, great for vocals, piano, guitar. Looks amazing. Single DD. Open box is ~500, 799 new. One of my all time favorites.
