Currently have the BLON BL03's.
A bit too trebley/crispy, otherwise good.
Would you recommend Fiio FH5 or moondrop blessing 2 dusk?
I don't want them too be sibilant at all, and the vocals can't be too forward as well. Can't be too detailed.

Will be used for movies (Netflix, blu-rays, etc) and for listening to movie soundtracks.

Budget: 50$-500$

Anything to recommend that will fit all the criterias?

I'm sure you could go to much higher price echelons, and I have better IEMs for music, but I use QKZ VK4 with movies and they sound just fine. They are tip-sensitive; I need large tips and had to swap in my own tips to get a good seal. But they're excellent for both dialogue and soundtrack sounds.

Another warm-bottomed, dialogue-friendly choice is Geek Wold GK10, though they seem to be phasing that one out; you might look at reviews of other Geek Wold models.

There were complaints about quality control with the GK10, but I think it's just as likely people couldn't get a seal. If you're using the BL-03 you might not have seal problems at all.

Or you could look in the classifieds and buy my Penon Fans, very smooth treble.

Check out the Final Audio E500 (not the 5000, but the 500).

This set goes around $20 USD or so, very good for binaural tracks or games/movies due to a nice soundstage and imaging. Sounds meh for normal music, but otherwise quite a good daily beater set for movies as per your request.
