Hi Folks, long time member looking for a budget iem recs under $100 for use with my LG G7. Use case is outdoors on walks, so obviously bass above flat to counter ambient noise and footfalls.
Prior iems that fit great were Shure se-215 and Westone UM3X, ones that did not AT-E40 & Carbo Tenore, and Mee 6 pro. Each had their own sound issues compared to ideal.
Sound signature that I am looking for is on the warm and richer side with no treble peak in the response above the normal peaks we get in the presence region (2-3k).
Currently using Sony MH-755 and 750 with Comply tips. Bass is not prominent enough and upper mid presence is a bit too much. EQ cannot fix all of this.
Short list suspects include:
Moondrop Aria- Might still be a tad bright for me based on response curves.
Fiio JH3- Response likely to be a bit too bright for me with broad lift after 3k.
Final E3000- Worried that it may fit too much like Carbo Tenore- I have small canals and once seated deep enough all the weight is being supported by canal not concha.
Please no Ety recs, I consider them a torture device.
Thanks for any and all ideas.
