Budget Earphone for daily usage

[Rockman98]

Hello,

I want to buy an IEM or in ear headphone which has noise isolation and mic.

I will use it in my daily life such as in public transportation, online meetings, phone calls.

I have Marshall Mode, but it's worn out.

I love my Toneking T4's sound, but i want warmer/more balanced sound.

1. I checked KZ's hybrids such as ZST, ZSN (Metal and Pro versions), ZS4, ZS5. All of them seems V-shaped. What are their differences?

I checked JBL's , Sony's, Shneisser's and Piooner's cheapest and more expensive ones. I think i can buy better thing from China with that 20-30 dollars price.

2. Which brands/models should i look?

Thank you,

Have you looked at the Moondrop Chu with mic? Cable is not detachable.

In case of earphones with detachable cable it is possible to buy a cable with built in microphone separately on aliexpress, linsoul, shenzhen audio or different shop, so it does not have to restrict your choice.

Different KZ models are very often almost the same thing soundwise with slightly different name, that seems to be the case woth models that you mentioned.

As far as i am concerned a better choice instead of those kz earphones would be Cca cra+ or Kz edx ultra. Both are very similar in terms of sound (cca and kz are sister companies) and a little bit better than kz mentioned in your post and ( not sure about it but ) i think they are available with microphone cable.

I also repeat msing539's recommendation for the Moondrop Chu, however this model might need eq to boost bass to satisfy many people's tastes.
