hi, this is my first thread and i'm currently looking for a good IEM to list for edm, trap, dubstep etc genres. currently, i have hyperx cloud 1 as my gaming headphone and I really enjoy electronic music on it.

I bought few chi-fi IEM's by reading reviews and they are sounding really great for other music genres. but i need one for electronic music

here is the list of iems I currently have & how I feel them with music genres I mentioned before.

Tin T2 - lack of bass
KZ ZSN Pro - harsh treble
CCA C12 - good but still, treble sounding harsh to me

I ordered BLON BLO3 last week and it will arrive within 1-2 weeks. so please recommend me some good iems below 100$

thank you

TFZ T2 (forward lower/upper mids and bass, can be shouty if you are treble sensitive, excellent for this type of music though - especially bass)
TRN V90 (warmer sounding than TFZ T2, mids more recessed, buy these if you are treble sensitive, excellent bass response)

Hope that helps, I've owned both of these for a while and they are my go-to for edm

The BLON BL-03 is not the best option for EDM that has lots of complex instrumentation/competing instruments as its technicalities are not the best. It excels better at timbre/tonality, and is more suited for slower genres incorporating more acoustic instruments like classical, jazz, acoustic.

My go to EDM IEM is the TFZ No. 3. Usually retailing at $129 USD, but it is frequently on sale on many sites including massdrop, where it goes as low as $75 - 80USD. Great subbass extension and quantity, and techincalities (details/clarity/instrument separation/imaging) for a single DD set are very good. There's a 2 - 4 kHz and 8 kHz peak so sometimes it gets a bit bright, so not the best if you are treble sensitive. There's a mild midbass bleed, though this seems to be quite source dependent.

I've seen great reviews for the TFZ T2 Galaxy too for EDM purposes, though I don't own it. It seems like a cheaper version of the TFZ No. 3 but still maintaining thereabouts sound quality/sound signature.

Good luck with your search!
