Hello, I need some recommendation on iems under $500 or Rs.30000 as I live in india. I have found 3 iems that falls in this range - Noble audio trident, JH audio Michelle and shure se535. Which of them is better? Also, if you know of some iem that is similar or better than these 3 in the same price range, I am all ears to know more about it. Thank you.

If something costs USD 500, in India it will likely end up costing 50-60k.

In your price range, I think you should add a Campfire Orion--if you want to spend a bit more, a Polaris--to the list. Maybe read about these two and see what you think. Both are terrific.

I had read about both of them and the orion tbh doesnt fit my needs so I did not put it on the list in the first place. And about the Polaris, well they are expensive in India at 44999 which is $669. My budget is strictly under $500 at most, $550

Its not true anymore. Headphonezone offers the JH audio Michelle for 30k and in the us its $400 which is roughy around rs. 27000. So I think it's more economical to buy from India now.

Shure SE535 limited edition.
Own it 2 years until I lose it.
Using shure kse1500, long enough to familiar with its sound, but I remember quite clearly the early use kse, I wish the thickness of mid as se535 on kse.
Short gun sound reproduce on kse with a little decay but on se535, almost no decay heard.
