Hello There!

I'm currently looking to buy a wired IEM to use with a Quest 2 VR Headset, mainly for Beat Saber, so music performance(especially EDM and pop) is important, alongside a secure fit and minimal cable noise. My budget isn't really high, $50 tops, and I'm in Europe, so choices are unfortunately not much, stuff like KZ and CCA would cost way too much due to shipping+import fees. Also want to note that I do like IEMs that put a bit of a focus on bass, so boomy is a good thing for me, so as long as it doesn't ruin mids and highs.

After researching on the net, I'm stuck between the following IEMs that fit my budget:

• Soundmagic E11(how is the E11C different?)
• Logitech G333 VR(this is specifically designed for the Quest 2 with custom cable lenght)
• 1More Dual-Driver in-ear
• Creative Aurvana Trio LS(single-driver)
• Final E500

Do any of these sound good for the price? Anyone have personal experience with any of these?

Heard good things about CCAs, but these really bulky IEMs aren't good for me, they start hurting the outside of my ear after a pretty short time. One IEM I'm looking at Amazon DE is the LUDOS Clamour. One I also saw is the Linsoul TIN T2, but heard the bass is not very strong on it.

My ears used to hurt with some IEMs as well, but I've found that it doesn't last long. After a wee while they (ears) get used to it or something and it's not an issue anymore.
I am not going back after having tried this form-factor for IEMs. Which is the standard in the higher end so you'll have to get used to it if want to move up at some point

I tried, they're just not good for me for extended periods, especially not when active movement is involved(=Beat Saber), so I'm just look at normal in-ear style earphones without that bulky design. There are plenty of options for those in this price-range

What about the Final vr3000, often on sale at HiFiheadphones.

Even at their current sale price, with shipping it comes out at ~$65, which is above my budget. That bulky design also looks really uncomfortable, looks similar to the Creative Outlier V3 which I had and it was hurting my ears after ~20-30 minutes of listening just staying still.

Stretching my budget a bit: how would you guys rate the Soundmagic E50? Does it have a more bassy sound?
