Hi,
I need some new IEMs.
Right now I have Phonak Audeo 121 which I enjoy a lot (with gray filters). But they are old and have old IEMs problems

So I'm looking for replacement.

Right now I'm trying to decide between:

SHOZY & NEO CP
MEE audio Pinnacle P2 (because they are cheap)
Shure SE425CL
Beyerdynamic Soul Byrd (because they are cheap)
Etymotic ER3XR (but I want to refrain from spending that much right now )

The goal is flat-ish sound signature, good detail level (like texture in overdriven guitar) and isolation.

Thanks in advance!

You can assuredly do better than the SE425. If you're interested in Etymotic but the ER3 is too pricey, the ER2XR has gotten great reviews.

with some patience can find ety er2 and er3 well under 150... my ER2SE were $110ish IIRC and remarkably close to my ER4S IMO once I found the tight tip combo for my ears (though it seems xr is a bit more popular).
but TBH I havent heard that much in price range so perhaps there are some better values to be found...

Thanks kukkurovaca, Raketen, I appreciate your respones

As always I found another IEM that caught my attention - FiiO F9 Pro

So now it probably comes to
Etymotic ER3XR
SHOZY & NEO CP
FiiO F9 Pro

Not heard it but generally hybrids which the fiio f9 pro is will have lower isolation than an all ba set up due to them needing a vent for the dynamic driver.

davidcotton, yeah indeed, I haven't noticed the vent, thanks.
On the other hand, many people describe them as "above average" noise isolating.
That said, I've got a loud guy at work, so I think I'll shoot for something more

Ety ER2SE

SE215 sounds really good and provides a strong seal against noise.
