So Ive been a long time lurker here and I hate starting one of these threads, but I really dont know which new IEM to choose.

Im looking to step up into the hifi music world for the first time and I want a good sounding IEM in the $250-$500 range. Price point doesnt matter in regards to this range, I just want a really good sounding IEM in this range. The best pair Ive owned are klipsch s4 for what its worth so Im sure the pair I go with will be a significant improvement.

I know a lot of times the answer to these topics is subjective and it depends on the source and music files etc. Ill be using tidal hifi for my music listening and Im looking to purchase the new hidiz ap200 if that matters.

I like a variety of music: rap/hip hop, country, 80s, 90s, classic rock, pop, alternative. I like bass to my music.

Ive looked into the following:

Flcs8

Ibasso it03

U4-se 64 audio

Etymotic sr4

Earsonics es3

Any insight on these would be very much appreciated. Suggestions on other/better options is very much welcomed. I apologize for the lengthy post.
