I am looking for a budget pair of earbuds $50-$80 range. I have a high end hearing loss. I need crisp treble. I purchased some Custom 1's on recommendation from here. The clarity was fine but I didn't like the over the ear plastic pieces and I could never get the right fit right. I have done some more research and with some additional help from you fine folks, these look like my finalists.

Any suggestion on what might give me the clearest sound and the most comfortable fit?

Thanks

Out of your list I can definitely recommend the PK2's. They have a fine balanced sound with crisp treble, and is almost like a PFE-lite to me. And being buds you may have a better time with the fit.

For your price range, PK2 would be ideal for crisp treble.
