Iems for metal

[AlmondMilk]

Hello,

I was wondering which iem I should buy for listening to metal music, but I don't want to spend a lot. Everytime I take a look at some iem they are like 2k+ euro. T.T I wonder if there is something good for 500 euro? Or should I increase my budget?

Thanks!

There's some way under budget that are fun for metal. Personally the 7hz Timeless original is my favorite since it's versatile and tuned for a lot of other music out of the box. The Sennheiser IE600 is good for male vocals, soundstage isn't big, but imaging is really precise. For wireless the one that really surprised me for metal was the Creative Aurvana Ace 2. It uses the new solid state Xmems drivers and it's so fast for metal. It can keep up with the quickest cocaine fueled guitar solo with ease. The bass is a normal dynamic driver, but the mids and highs are solid state and just instant response.

Dear community,
a lot has been going on this topic for headphones here

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/headphones-for-metal-music-ultimate-solution.715478/

but on the IEM side the discussion is quite silent.

So let's try.
I would propose as to post in order
IEM model + manufacturer ; genres at which it excels with a singer or band name next to each one.
