Hi all,

I'm looking for a pair of comfortable over the ear IEMs to complement my barrel-style IEMs . Prefer a warm or neutral (with boosted bass) sound signature. Sensitive to intense upper mids. Don't particularly need something with amazing technicalities, but want a pair with a good tone/coherent sound signature. Budget around or under $200USD.

Currently have and enjoy the following: Final E5000, E1000, Etymotic ER4P, ER4XR, ER2XR. Really like the E5000, but wanting a bit more treble, and something a bit more exciting than the Etymotics (though the ER2XR is probably closer to my target than the ER4s).

Previously had: Tin T2 (bass too rolled off), Campfire Comet (strange vocals), Vega (too intense, and driver flex), Andromeda (loved, but got rid of due to fit)

Thanks everyone.

I am looking around for a IEM with a $150 budget, and currently I've narrowed it to TRI Starsea, never had an iem which can change sound profiles like it. Not sure if it is gimmicky but it got good reviews. They just released a new one called Starshine but pretty steep.

If willing to buy used look for the Tanchjim Oxygen, can regularly be had around $200 used, great single DD.
