Apparently they have buds that are excellent for 'talking'. I'd be curious what makes them so good as I usually use mine for listening.

After all, AliExpress shops or manufacturers take it for granted that their customers will QC their products.

THE CHECKLIST

I use an iPod Nano 7th generation for some hours. Two or three during the day (high volume), and one hour on the night (low volume) to try to fall asleep. I use it exclusively at home. I listen only metal music, genre death and technical death and prefer warm sound. my budget is 30-40€. During my three iPod I only used Apple earbuds, one pair of House Of Marley and one pair of VE Monk Plus. No mic.

Since you mentioned "for sleeping" the following VE earbud came to mind... the VE Zen LL which like most of the VE line-up is tuned warm and is an extremely comfortable earbud to wear especially when sleeping. A tad higher in price than what you wanted to spend @ ~USD $69.80 (~€64) but they may just fit the bill. Stay away from the VE Monk Lite as it is tuned differently... it is one of the brightest models sold by VE. Do note that due to recent Chinese government lockdowns VE is not shipping at the moment but you may find it via a reseller online somewhere.

In some ways the more complicated and crazy the music the better the background noise. I do it too. But more techno/rythmic pop. Occasionally heavy metal. For me the slower and more vocally focused the music, the more brain focuses on. The lyrics and tune. In short, I use more chaotic music to do the opposite of clinical listening Lol.

I know they're old, I know they're not reference class but my god I absolutely love the CCZ Emerald. Melody and Coffee Bean are meh, they blow my old BLON BL-03 away too, and with the nicehck cable they sound even better. Hell they even sound good with KZ-A09 adapters. They fit beautifully, they look great.... they don't do anything especially outstanding but just do everything so well.

I've never really bothered reviewing IEM's but I think I'll go back and revisit some of the ones I've still got kicking around....kb ear ks1, lark, CCA CSN, hzsound heart mirror... I forgot how much IEM's blow Bluetooth TWS away, especially at the crazy prices.

Anyone recommend any other bargains that have just been released?

Oh yeah, review on the emerald here: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/ccz-emerald.25486/reviews#review-28273
