What wired IEMs would in your opinion sport close to the same signature as wf-1000xm4, which I enjoy quite a lot? Would it be the Z1R, M9, totally something else?
I've owned quite a number of over-ear (closed) cans -matter of preference- but I'm a newcomer to IEMs, and I see so many opinions and their direct opposites, it's easy to get lost

Any suggestions welcome.

Here's a graph from squig.link of WF-1000XM4, IER-Z1R and XBA-N3 for comparison. I have the WF-1000XM4, but not the IER-Z1R or XBA-N3, so can't give any listening comparisons. I do have both IER-M7 and IER-M9, they sound great in their own right, but their sound signatures are not like the WF-1000XM4 at all.

qkzxhbb sounds pretty similar (a bit better imo) and it’s like $15-20
