I am currently using Campfire Audio Nova - 2 Balanced Armature drivers. Balance kind of sound signature but there is rolled off at treble. You can consider hybrid IEM such as Campfire Audio Polaris - 1 BA and 1 dynamic. Besides this 2 models, Westone UM Pro 20 and Shure SE425 are good choices too :)

IMO you should pick your gear based on sound, not on how many drivers it has. I bought my single driver Orions over the Shure 425 and Westone W30 after demoing them.

Any reason why you picked Orions over the 425 and W30?

I tested the 425 and really liked it. I've been recommended the W30 too based on my preferences for a neutral sound signature with a wide soundstage and comfort.

There's no objective best depending on your sound preferences etc. Some that come to mind at the lower end of the spectrum are Noble X, Brainwavz B200, Creative Aurvana In-Ear 3, Inear SD-2, Earwerkz/Empire Supra.

I struggle to recall the details of the 425 and W30... it was several years ago and I was less experienced in audio. What I do recall was that the vocals were clearer and drums had a better "snap" to them on the Orions than the others I heard (I was auditioning 5 or 6 IEMs at the time). Not much bass, but very well controlled.

Can't really be more specific unfortunately.
