My personal favorites in that segment are:
NiceHCK DB3
VE Bonus
KBEAR KB06
KZ ZSN
Sony MH755
Blon BL3 (almost $30)
Edit: The **** does definitely belong on this list as well.
Which one to choose depends on personal preference on sound, isolation, wearing style etc.
I meant the size, so yeah the Comply T200s should work OK.
I'm actually using these Anjirui foams from AliExpress. So far they're the best foam tips I've tried.
a little story about my experience with the MH755: I bought the old Sony SBH20 that had the MH755 many years ago when it first came out. i sold them because even at that time i always hitting the "battery low" prompt too often. but don't hate the MH755 (at that time i don't even know it has a name) though. i sold it because i figured it came as combo, so i sold them as a combo too.
many years passed, had some earphones up and down the price range, and heard some "TOTLs" too along the line.
then the world of Headfi shooked when it got "B" rating in a list.
is it overhyped and doesn't deserve that rating? i like it better than the TFZ King Pro that i once had. so i personally say that B rating is justified.
I think u can try the ****. Retails at 16 -17 usd. Good clarity, instrument separation, soundstage and details for the price. The subbass digs quite low too.
The timbre is a bit off for acoustic instruments (like brass and woodwind) so it is not the best option for jazz/classical genres. But for pop/EDM/alternative it is a cheap and good set IMHO. A lot of people ain't too bothered about timbre anyway, YMMV.
Isolation also slightly below average, but otherwise in other areas it is excellent for 16 bucks.

for the SBH20 i would say no, the BT tech is old and the battery is subpar, it's better to purchase the latest BT dongles like ES100 or newer. it was harder for me to part with the MH755 back then. I'm just glad i still have the chance to come full circle and re-purchase and own another MH755 now
But I guess everyone who is subscribed in this thread already has a BLON, or in some cases 2 - 3 BLONs haha.
I wish more CHIFI companies would tune their IEMs similarly to it, instead of the 2 - 4 kHz CHIFI peak that is dime a dozen.
