I am looking for recommendations for solid pairings to go with my Sony NW-ZX507. Preferably <$200. IEM/over-ear (open or closed) - doesn't matter. Current arsenal is:

Sennheiser HD 599
Sennhesier HD 569
Etymotic ER4SR
Kinera Idun
Hidizs MS2
KZ ZAX
KZ ZEX Pro
CCA CRA+

Have previously owned:

Focal Elegia
Sennheiser HD 650
Sivga SV021
Audio Technica ATH-MSR7b
Hifiman HE400se
Phillips SH9500
Moondrop Starfield
Moondrop KATO
Moondrop Blessing2
BQEYZ Spring1
Simgot EN700 Pro
Thieaudio Legacy 3

^^There were none of those that I "didn't like" for any reason, just had to let them go for one reason or another.

Looking for something that leans toward brightness due to the warmer nature of the ZX507. Any input is appreciated. Thank you!

Check out the Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir and consider getting a 4.4mm cable to get the most power from your ZX507:

Also, this picture shows the Brainwavz angled sheepskin ear pads (just barely) fitting the 99 Noir, so you can get those here for extra comfort:
