ADVICE REQUEST
It seems the COVID-19 lock-down is pushing me further into ChiFi addiction! Oh well! I'm ready to purchase another set and would like some thoughtful input from the community. Given my brief tenure in this hobby, I'd like to give myself a shot at a great set without any miss-steps if possible and I know this community can be very helpful if I provide adequate information. My budget will be anything up to $200.
BACKGROUND
a. First purchase - BLON-BLO3 - Love the sound but as previously mentioned in this forum, I do have "fit" issues. I will be addressing the fit issue with the mods
@Slater recommend for extending their tube.
b. Second purchase - Shozy 1.1 - Really enjoyed the laid-back signature and fit. I could listen to these for hours but for my perception of accuracy, a little too laid-back. This was confirmed with the 3rd purchase.
c. Third purchase - UF YBF-ISS014 - My favorite of the three. I feel as if these have the best tonal balance, sound stage, imaging, air, and texture of the three. I love the bass even though its slightly elevated but wouldn't "freak-out" over a set with slightly less, more neutral base. They fit good too! Hopefully they will last and be problem free.
THE GOAL
I'm not interested in taking this hobby to the extreme, meaning, I will not likely get to $400-$1000 sets of IEMs as I'm not convinced I need that. I'm very attracted to the UF YBF-ISS014 and am wondering "what would build on this performance and really take it to the next level!" Is there anything worth buying up too $200 that would have a significant impact? It may not be possible. I certainly don't want to buy a $200 set of IEMs that offer 2% better performance. Hopefully this community can help me determine if there is a set under $200 worth purchasing given the information I've shared OR, if more expensive sets are required.
