I'm really struggling so I thought I would ask you guys. I'm on the hunt for compact IEMs. In terms of size, think SE215s or IE300s since I need to wear them under a helmet. I've looked at lots of lists but I'm coming up short. Does anyone have any recommendations for any good ones around $60-80? My ideal sound signature is v-shaped.

Moondrop SSP, maybe.

If you’d settle for U-shape instead then Tin T2 Plus.

I would totally settle for U-shape! I mostly just need good bass or my music gets boring.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone! This was a huge help. If anyone has any other options I would love to hear.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the CCA12

 

[Nimweth]

How about these for £3.99. They just arrived and they have a very mature, neutral tuning, linear bass, present mids and good clear treble. 10mm single DD, wood casing and fabric cord. Amazing!

A good V-shaped KZ hybrid.
Close relative of KZ ZSX.
If you are OK with the treble, either of C12, ZSX or ZAX will do great for the money.
DQ6 (original) and CRA would be other budget alternatives.

Hello,
Could you please tell me what they are like for passive noise isolation?
Need a new pair for bedtime audiobook listening and the small size and shape look quite comfortable.

I like a lot the C12, V shaped, allrounder and fun.
If you like this tonal profile can't go wrong with them.

I'd lean more towards the se215 if you want more isolation.

The T2+ also probably won't have enough bass for your use, it's more neutral with a slight sub-bass/bass lift.

Of course your ear anatomy will be different from mine, but I found the seal and isolation very good, I obtained a snug fit, as did my wife. You may have to experiment with tip rolling.

Thanks very much for the info.
Build quality seems questionable but at that price, might just take a chance.

I bought a second pair for my wife, the build quality on both seems OK, though we shall have to see about durability. The sound, though, is amazing. I prefer them to the Sony MH755! They are burning in and improving all the time.

I find the Tanchjim OLA excellent, though tonality is very niche the technicalities are incredible for 40$.
Biggest issue for me is the fit, and im not the only one that get this ''iem poping out of my ears'' issue it seem.
Their is my full review: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/tanchjim-ola.25742/reviews#review-28274

You can find review of FIIO JD3 and JH3 on my site too. JH3 when on sale at 35$ is sure a real bargain, again, technical performance take the front and affect a bit musicality enjoyment, a bit like OLA in that regard.
