Hey everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

I'm looking for budget IEMs, my budget is around 50 euros. I'm willing to go over budget if I find something that'll be worth the investment in the long run. I am honestly tempted to spend more cause since I spent some more money on my ATH-M40x's, I felt like it was worth every penny I put down for it. At the same time I feel less comfortable spending so much on IEMs cause they feel so fragile.. But if it has durable build quality and detachable cables or something I would be up for spending some more money on it.
I mostly listen to rock/metal and some rap.

I've been trying to look up IEMs that I see recommended (like the ones in the headphones buying guide) but unfortunately I can't find most of them at any local sites. If any of you have any other recommendations I'll gladly hear it, thanks in advance for any help!

I really like the SoundMAGIC E10 for you. It does not have detachable cables but the cables are quite strong. Mine is five years old and still is in excellent condition. The sound is terrific and punches well above its modest price range. If you want to up your budget, I would look at a 1More Triple Driver and see what you think.It sounds fantastic at the price point and is also well made. Maybe read about these and see what you think. It is possible one could work for you.

Thank you so much for your suggestions. Both of these actually look great! I'm gonna check some reviews and stuff and I'm gonna have a good think about how much I wanna spend and which one of these I'm gonna get.

I've been looking around and I'm more leaning towards the Triple Drivers, just cause they seem like they're worth the extra investment. I also saw that Fiio F5's seem great and have a really good soundstage and they have detachable cables, but I can't seem to find the cables for sale separately so I'm not sure if that's handy yet lol. The Triple Drivers are on sale on the 1More site now for 75 pounds though so that makes them more appealing as well.. Still got some stuff to think about I guess heheh

Edit: I tried ordering the Triple Drivers on their site, they didn't deliver to my location though. Luckily they had the same sale price on Amazon too so I ordered them there. Very excited now, can't wait to have them. Now it's just a matter of waiting. The only thing I still have to consider is if I have to order some Comply tips or something if the ones that come in the box aren't good enough. Anyways, thanks for the advice guys, appreciate it!
