Thanks for the recommendations. The price range of the EJ07, POLA, Starlight4, ST7, Monarch and Clairvoyance seems like a good batch of options. However I think I'm going to put a cap on spending at under $600. There's a number of JH Rosies available used, probably because it's been around a few years. AME Gravitas is currently on sale, any opinions on that? Or UM Mini MEST?

Bought now the FD5 from a user here, should arrive on friday. Very excited how they sound in general and how they compare to the FH3 and if they're an upgrade to them.

I got Final Audio a4000 today and they sound incredibile for my taste, fast, precise, tight, airy, detailed, crispy without being harsh. I'm listening right now to Sons of Apollo God of the Sun and Portnoy's double bass drum work is rendered effortlessy, amazing!
Just for info , I got , tried and returned KZ BA10, and Moondrop Starfield.
When today I tried a4000 ootb, I fell in love.

Hi, i'm using qudelix 5k.
Can you recommended me a iem for metal.
My budget below 200$.
Thanks
I agree, it’s a very good option.First thought: KBEar Believe. Some of us had some issues with the filters trapping moisture but I think we're in the minority.
I agree, these are 2 more great options, though the FD5 is over budget,Fiio FH3, superb separation and imaging,
if you could stretch it more, Fiio FD5,
I personally don’t like the S8P that much, even though I definitely have respect for it, but that’s just me. I would recommend making sure you don’t mind intense upper midrange and you like all-BA sound before getting a Fearless S8.Lotta people in here talking about the Fearless S8F/Pro, can't speak personally but they seem to get a lot of love.
Other options:
- KZ DQ6 - very affordable, with surprisingly fast bass, and a lot of detail.
- KZ BA10 - if the shape doesn’t deter you, it is a very detailed sounding all-BA IEM, with a lot of bass. I actually prefer its stock tuning to the S8P, though the S8P is technically superior.
- Jade Audio EA1 - an overall balanced sound signature.
- Shozy Form 1.1 - if you like a lot of bass, and don’t mind a warm sound signature
- UrbanFun YBF - lots of detailed bass, fun sounding, **poor QC is a bit issue**
- Those previously mentioned.

so make sure you have a good source.

I read a review about nicehck Nx7 mk3, and it's can compare with Fh3. Anybody try this iem?

I've had the Periodic BE for a few months now and am enjoying these a lot for Metal, hve them paired with Cayin N3 ProI got the FD5 in my ears right now and while I can definitely say they are, by a stretch, my favorite IEMs that I can recall ever having (the Periodic Be is the only one from memory that challenges them, which I guess means I'm a beryllium person), but going from under $200 to over $300 is probably too far.

The Be is amazing, my only complaint is the fixed cable is a disaster waiting to happen, which is why I no longer have mine. There is genuinely no good reason for a $300 product to have a fixed cable.

i agreed. I have it also, but, due to being a bass monster, I used my Believe more.
what i like it comes with a lot of ear tips...
Tin case could be better

I hear you, I bought my BE during the half off sale ($150) they had a few months back. Also, the only way you can listen to the tube mode on the Cayin N3PRO is thru 3.5mm, I tried 4.4 but tube mode thru 3.5mm sounded better.The Be is amazing, my only complaint is the fixed cable is a disaster waiting to happen, which is why I no longer have mine.
