all rounder IEM that sounds good for any genre, or like LZ A7 having an options to have 10 different sound profile, preferrably under$1000

Are you buying blind if the price hits $1000?
Anyway, KBear Starlight should be up your alley if you have not tried EST built iems before.

not really, I will pretty much scourge all of head fi before making that purchase... that's why I'm climbing up the ladder slowly...
noted at that point, best is to have a demo if it's available at where you resides.
Yes noted. Anti-Oxidant and nipple-grading piqued my interest. I will go back and steal my daughter's bottle nipple and try and feel how is like.
Keep Buying yr gEAR may come into fruition after all

¡¡KBear Believe¡¡: These have entered my collection very strongly. I have iems and headphones 3, 4, 5 and up to 20 times more expensive ... Believe is a value in itself, regardless of the price. If I had to describe them in two words, they would be (analog-valve). The bell is 10; extremely natural, delicious mid-highs and highs, with perfect clarity, resolution and extension. They go all the way to the limit, but it's amazing how they manage to stay, right to the point of derailing (but don't get me wrong, it's a spread of ROUNDED notes), never bright or hissing. The bass is very decent, with good spread and an adequate amount, not overly booming, but they are there when you need them. It's amazing how they reproduce blues, folk, acoustic tracks ...
If you like blues, get them. On the other hand, Neil Young has never sounded so good. On the song 'Like a Hurricane', where a lot of headphones fail in the highs (this song has highs that can pierce your ears if they are not well controlled), however, many headphones fall short and do not convey that emotion. Well, KBerar Belive embroiders it, it is a 10. If you are looking for an exciting sound that transmits that warmth of good electric guitars sounding like live, with that valve tone, ufffffff. Buy KBear Belive. It seems to me the steal of the year without any doubt for the price at which I could buy it $ 130. They need good amplification to bring out their full potential; It is one of those iems that you turn up and up the volume and get better, and never fatigue, but exciting at the same time. Excellent fit (10) and excellent comfort (10). A bargain that I am really enjoying.

An aspect that I find quite useful about BElieve is its chameleon-like character. It blends in nicely with whatever hardware it's plugged into. I get the "analog-valve" sound when I have it connected to my IFI nano BL dac (unbalanced). But when it's on my A&K SR25(balanced), it becomes quite neutral and resolving with added separation and space. I think it takes on the character of whatever it's plugged into and I use that knowledge to match it with the songs that I am playing. And, of course, the reverse can also be true - not having good synergy with some hw. Example: To my ears, R3 Pro doesn't quite sparkle with it, but the Hiby usually works geat with other iems.
I really like this tuneability aspect of the BElieve, on top of already having a damn fine SQ that I would not dare to put a perceived price to it!

While still partaking to the general category of bright-neutral drivers, Lark’s overall tuning is definitely homogeneous, its mids and bass sections being musically coherent – without prejudice to personal preferences – with its treble end. (from PersonalAudioNotes)

I have not yet tested them in Kann Alpha in balanced ... I will have to change the cable to test if the chameleon really appears ... Of course, a powerful source or external amplifier is essential, otherwise, the performance of the driver dynamic is not ideal.
