I've yet to buy a wooden iem, been watching all if them and I'm just not sure which one I want to commit too! Twitch is something I never do, with me I see and I get it or get out of there

Haha, you're right but it's only because I'm rather poor and can only dream of buying all these iems. Will have my Zero soon and can't wait to see how they compare to the K4. I feel a bit like @Lurk650 with his Maples because I'm likiing the K4 more than my other more expensive iems and wondering if I'm just crazy.

Hey guys, since some of you seem to have tested about 10000 of these Asian IEMs, are there any set under 100$ that you would recommend to listen to metal? (August burns red, born of osiris, other types)
If possible a pair under 50$ would be even better. I am putting together a list of future potential buys for whenever I get a bit of money to buy a new pair.

They'll sit at the upper end of your price range, but the best iems I've heard for metal have been JVC's HA-FXH30. They've got the speed, separation, and tonality to do metal justice. They single-handedly got me back into thrash they played it so well. I'm sure others will have some helpful suggestions.

The SMSL M2 has a special place in my collection as it is was my very first DAC/AMP, and to this day it is one of the cleanest and most neutral dacs you can buy for < $100 and it has both a line out and optical out. Its the size of a credit card and even has a volume dial. I included some pictures for a size comparison.
So when the SMSL M3 came out, I took advantage of that huge aliexpress sale and ordered my pair. Took its sweet time getting to me but I have been using it for the last 2 weeks. Mainly bought it to use with my Playstation 3 to replace my FiiO E17, but damn does it sound good. Loving what SMSL is doing with their more affordable gear.
The SMSL M3 has rear RCA out, as well as USB and Optical In. More power than I know what to do with and its transportable, able to be powered by cellphones and the like. It is built like a tank and truly feels like a premium product in the hands. Even came with a small micro to micro USB cable to connect to phones, which is always appreciated! This one was worth every penny and I can suggest it to others with no hesitation.
The sound is clear, neutral and with a big soundstage. Crazy separation, can hear individual elements of a song very clearly. I am surprised by its clarity and resolution, especially considering the price point! Bravo SMSL
In the pics I have the M3 with the Rear RCA out to my new baby the Venture Electronics RA 2.0 (♥♥) driving my all time favourite open back, the venerable Sony MA900 (♥♥♥). A timeless classic and an absolute legend, good enough that I can live with it as my only full size.
Hey! I'm on the market for a new in ears. I own a full sized Takstar for home plus a Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro on the amp.
For in ears I own Klpisch Image S4 which I find amazing but they're old (I dont mean they're no cool anymore, I mean theyre physically beat up). I bought last year a Xiaomi Piston which was AWESOME for the price but not superior to the Klipsch Image S4 and not as comfortable for me... and with a tendency to fall off my ear. I ended up giving it away to a friend. It was still a positive experience. So, what can you recommend me for less than $100?
Don't think about music styles cause I listen to EVERYTHING. And I mean everything, so neutral tends to be my style. I love myself some instrument separation and details.
They're the follow-up to the FXD80, and are better than both those and the FXT90 IMO. I've got a review kicking around here somewhere that you might want to check out.
