I'll sum up balanced armature vs dynamic driver
BA:
Does not cover wide frequency
Small in size and capable of having many drivers with crossovers
Detailed and analytical sound
Does not need a vent, so better isolation
Generally more pricy
More sensitive than dynamic
Dynamic:
One can cover the entire frequency
Rather big, but they are capable of having upto 3 drivers in a iem as of now
Warm detailed sound with good bass rumble and impact
Harder to drive than BA.
Usually needs an vent, so less isolation
Hybrid:
BA+Dynamic Driver.
Usually has one dynamic driver for bass region and multiple BAs for mid/highs.
Well regarded for spectacular bass while keeping other frequency clear.
Things can go wrong as BA and dynamic sound different and some people can notice the crossovers changing
Generally have a vent, and bit heavier than BA customs.
